These days, it seems like everything is going digital. You
can find almost everything on the Internet.
Many people find this way of life more convenient, because
they can complete their daily chores(琐事) from the comfort of their own home.
Firstly, online shopping can be far less stressful than
hitting the high street shops. There are no huge crowds of people or boring
long queues. With online shopping, it's just you and your computer. It's like
you have the whole shop to yourself! Secondly, online stores don't have opening
and closing times. This is perfect for anyone with a busy schedule. If you want
to, you can even place an online shopping order at three o'clock in the
morning!
In the busy modern world, there are clearly many advantages
to online shopping. However, in my experience, there are also several cons…
With online shopping, you can't try before you buy, and that's a definite
disadvantage for me. Often, when my new clothes arrive, I find they don't fit
very well. It's always annoying when a dress is a little too big, or when
sleeves are too short… Sometimes, the clothes are not what I was expecting. A piece
of clothing might look great in photos online, but quite different in real
life.
In these cases, you want to return the item, but here lies
the biggest problem with online shopping. You have to pay for your order's
delivery, and for an item to be returned to the warehouse! These charges are
often very expensive, which suddenly make online shopping seem a little less
convenient… That's why I don't choose to shop online very frequently. For now,
I will continue to find the time for a trip to a real shop, where I know
exactly what I'm buying!
