Shopping: Internet vs. store

[WIlna]

Feeling extremely lazy, want to go clothes shopping not sure if to do it online or just drive to the mall.. which one do you prefer and why?

[dreamyxo]

I prefer trying on clothes in person, especially shoes because my feet are narrow and I have a hard time finding shoes that fit.  I could never buy shoes online.  I bought two bikini's online from Victoria's Secret years ago because they were $5, can't beat that so I had to order.  Other than that I've never ordered clothes online.

[WIlna]

Yes I understand. Specially because I tend to like something online and after I go to the store and try it out I don't like it anymore. (mostly because of how it fits or the material).. As far as shoes I can get them online, so far no problems.

I prefer to shop online but would rather buy in person except for small electronics and software which I really like buying online.  Ebay is one of my favorrite spots and has been for years.   I like to shop where I can use Paypal or Alertpay rather than a credit card.

It depends on what I'm buying. I bought 2 dressers online just becuase it was cheaper and way less hassle then me actually going to the store and buying them. But when it comes to clothes and grocerys I prefer to actually goto the store to buy the items. Its the thrill of hunting down a bargain and how rewarding it is to take your "prize" home with you right then and there, instead of waiting a week or so for it to come in the mail.

Depends on where....if it's a crazy mall where people are shoving you all around then hands down: Internet. If it's a small boutique with people who actually are doing their JOB and selling you what YOU want (isn't that the job of a salesperson?)...then store.

Recently I've been shopping online. Most of the time online stores seem to have what I want as opposed to in store. But when it comes to jean shopping I always go in store.

I do both, like to shop about once a week. I have a plan when I go, so it don't take me long!

Online ~ JCP.com is my favorite.  You don't have to search through a bunch of clothes to find one that fits you or to find out none fit you.  You can automatically know if the color, style, size, etc. is available.  The clearance department has some awesome prices and free shipping is available.  We have a local store so I can take anything back I need to at the store.

Definitely prefer store

[investyourtimehere]

Store always.  I seldom use online stores.

[Gerianne]

I find everything I need online. I use Blair for most of my clothes. I figured out the sizing standard. When I used to go shopping, I came home with soar feet and a sore back.

[thetotalfool]

I prefer the store.  Every clothing brand has its own sizing chart, and sometimes no size fits properly.

I like shopping online.  I'm just too lazy to go shopping because I usually just get frustrated with not finding anything.

I agree. stores are always marking clothes down and you can really catch some great deals.
