Are you an online shopper?

[phorsenuf]

What type of things do you tend to buy? I don't do a whole lot, mainly my coffee and things here and there from Amazon. My husband does more then I do. He usually buys his musical stuff.

Mostly, just Christmas shopping. SUCH good deals, and with free shipping, it's always cheaper (and easier) than going to the store.

I've bought home decor things as well. I like the endless possibilities, even if it is expensive to ship.

I hate going to the mall so online shopping is a godsend for me. I much prefer to shop in my jammies and have someone bring my items right to my house.

I buy clothes, books, shoes, stuff from Bath & Body Works--just about anything, really. I even order sauce for my green chile enchiladas online because I can't buy the kind I like around here.

I have a little bit of a shoe problem. Zappos is amazing! Have also ordered some fresh FLorida citrus for gifts and some for us. OP, what kind of coffee do you get?

I just order my Green Mountain K-cups. Nothing exciting.

I buy tons of stuff online! I'm big on bargain shopping and I can usually get some amazing deals online. Lately I've bought.. clothes, makeup, "Dexter" on bluray (blood splatter in HD - it's a beautiful thing ), sample wedding invitations, onesies for my nephew, shoes, tea..

My biggest downfall is Etsy. There is SO much cute stuff on there - lately I've been scoping out wedding stuff and baby stuff for the aforementioned nephew.

I do a LOT of shopping online.

All of my shoes come from Zappos. All of DH's work jeans come from Cabela's. Almost every Christmas present for the past 6 or 7 years was purchased online. I even bought my father's GPS from a little store in North Carolina that I had never heard of, online.

For awhile, one of our grocery stores allowed you to order online and have the order delivered. I did that too. Unfortunately, not enough people did it and they stopped offering the service.

The only thing I can think of that I haven't ordered online was jewelry, but that's because my SIL is a jeweler.

Little things like cd's and stuff from Amazon, yes. Clothes or shoes? Not unless I already have something identical but am just getting it in another color or something. I like to try things on.

 

[ElizK]

I buy as much as I can online. With my Amazon Prime, there is no shipping, no tax, and the price is usually a lot better than I can get in a store. I love getting boxes in the mail!

 

[Thumper_Man]

Occasionally. I mainly buy things online that I can't find in a store, or gifts that are personalized.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I do a lot of shopping online, heck if i could i'd order my grocery's online too.

 

[luvmy3]

Everything!

 

[beaucoup]

Everything. I find it easier to shop online than driving all over the state trying to find items I'm looking for. Not a lot of store choices where I live.

 

[kwelch10377]

I order a lot of stuff online, especially my stamping and scrapbooking supplies. I also order most of my books through Amazon as well as stuff that I just don't feel like going out to see who carries. I have been ordering more and more clothes online, but mostly from places that I already shop at and have brick and mortar stores, so if I need to return anything I can just go back to the store.

 

[browneyes106]

The stuff I tend to buy the most online are DVD's, Blu-Rays, books or things that are to find in physical retail locations.

 

[jlewisinsyr]

I only order minimal stuff online, mostly stuff that I just cannot find locally or that is really crazy to even consider buying local (ie. HDMI or USB cables have 400% - 1000% price difference between local and online).

This is for a few reasons, one, for clothes, I like to see them on me before I buy them, same with shoes. Sure, some companies have good return policies, but for many you're stuck with shipping costs. The second is I like to support local businesses and even more national retailers with local retail shops, in the end it employs people both directly and indirectly, cannot say that as much with online shopping. Third, it's nice to get out of the house and just walk around, people watch, interact with others, etc, plus it's a great way to see things you might miss online (not gadgets per se, but new items that you might miss).

 

[kristina87]

I order a LOT of things online, mostly from Amazon.com. I buy tons of books and movies on there, in addition to random things I need like extra cell chargers or games. I will buy things on other sites for gifts and sometimes I buy clothes out of catalogs I get at home and just go to the website.

 

[Jennasis]

I love online shopping! So much easier than dealing with crowds, parking, the drive, getting all the way to the store and them being out of an item or not carrying it at all!

In fact, I JUST placed an order online for a ton of horse supplies. So much less expensive than going to the farm supply store.

 

[pilesoflaundry]

I buy everything I can online. Most of the time it's cheaper, sometimes tax free and I don't have to spend time dealing with a crappy mall or spend gas money.

The only things I still go to the store for are clothes that I prefer to try on, shoes and groceries.

 

[Pakey]

I purchase all that I can online.

Just last week I purchased new bedding, sheets, duvet cover, bed skirt, at 3 different stores. I bought some new window coverings at a 4th place. And I purchased vegetable mix for my dog food.
