1. My reflections
In this episode Amy and Curtis talked about the habit of buying things online and I figured out that we have the same thoughts about this subject.
I’m not a “mall person”, I prefer to buy everything online because I don’t like the mall environment, full of people, sound, and visual noising, this is a place that make me stressed and drain my energy I confess.
Buy let’s be honest, buy online is quite comfortable, you have enough time to think is what you want to buy is necessary, you can deep dive in the products specs, search the better price, usually you have more product options to choose etc. And the good thing is that if you are not in a hurry, the delivery time usually is ok. I just see benefits… your purchase arrives straight to your home, without stress.
But of course, buy online brings has some negatives points, for instance if buy something that needs to be changed, or if an electronic product won’t work as expected or a clothing that doesn’t fit well etc. Probably you will facing a little bit off bureaucracy to return the product or ask to refund, pay to return the product waiting the package arrives to recipient, it can be a nightmare process.
And that’s way I prefer to buy clothing, shoes etc in person… of course that if the price is high, I just try the product and then I go online and buy it.
By the way buy foods is important to buy in person, I like to see and touch the fruits and foods in general, so groceries is mandatory buy offline. And, sometimes medication as well.
Buy online is a timesaver, further if you are like me that hate shopping in person 😜
