Technology is helping us in doing many task, nowadays people seems to be more depending to the technology, because it makes job easier, effective and convenient with just a click on the finger. For example, E-learning, socialize via the net, online services provider, or even coast to coast meeting can be held through the video conference. People don’t even need to go far away from a place to another for a meeting. It saves money and energy.
Recently, online shopping is popular, many fashion store, IT store and even grocery store provide services in the internet instead of gaining information from the particular website. Items can be ordered in the net, and the item you have been ordered will deliver to your house on time. People who want to reserve services or item, like movie ticket and dine in restaurant can just make on the particular website as well. But still there are advantage and disadvantage for everything.
Advantages
1. Trade and sales can be made online without going out from the house.
2. Save time and energy to seek a parking lot, carry the product (how would it be if it is a wide screen television?) and find the particular store.
3. Many choices available. For example, the clothes design in the United State market is different from Malaysia.
4. Orders can be customize in the net. The design, date of delivery and the wrapping paper can be chosen.
5. Lower price or discounted price item is possible to find in the site.
Disadvantages
1. Cannot touch and feel the product, consumer feel not confident to the particular product.
2. Quality of the product may be different from the one you want.
3. Some seller in the net may be not trustable.
4. Have to pay much for the delivery fees.
Conclusion
However, online shopping is still popular in the market. For the “equivalent brand”, like Top Shop, Zara, Dell, they have a hotline always ready to serve if consumer have any complaint, requires and order. But beware of some unknown brand and personal product in the net market as well, check out the ingredient, store location and the price of the product twice before order and make any payment.

Great article!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, if the product is cheap maybe I'll consider to buy it online, but then if its expensive like branded stuff, I rather go to outlet to have a look.
Cheerss, have a nice day!
Means when i buy thing i no need to go out and just omline...sound good
ReplyDeleteI think it's our Malaysian culture that affected so much on online shopping. Buying without actually touching it, is a BIG No-No in Malaysia. Especially the female gender.. *grins* who are so particular with their clothes and attires. I wouldn't take the risk to purchase something through online and later regretting it.
ReplyDeleteWell, of cuz deres lotsa disads and ads of on9 shopping.
ReplyDeleteLotsa things come to my mind when i think of online shopping.
Yea, we get to save up our time jz to shop through internet and pay by credit card.
But did ya'll think of buying sumthin you like but in de end when u get ur mail/post, it isnt how nice it reali looks lik frm de pic u saw.

Getting cheated by others. Being used by others.
Besides that, bank in de money ord or pay de bill ord, but not getting ur stuff.
