I love shopping online except for food and clothes.. Mostly all items shipped fine

I've bought a few things online in the last few years but only because our youngest daughter insists its always been safe for her.  I've purchased mostly Christmas gifts online that were not available in our local Walmart store.  Now our youngest is getting married in Sept. and this weekend I will be making a lot of online purchases because she has found websites where particular items for decorating are much cheaper.  Wish me luck!  lol

I do a lot of shopping online...especially for harder to find items since there are few stores in my area to choose from.  we have also learned that many of the items carried by walmart are somewhat cheaper if you order online than what you pay for the same items in the stores.....for example...we just bought a saltwater system for our swimming pool...it was almost $40 cheaper online than they had it priced in the store...and 97 cent shipping....couldn't beat that!!

Over the years I have bought multiple thing online. My experiences have covered both good and bad.  You always prepare for the worst and hope for the best experience.

I buy many things, especially from eBay.  I've had some clothing misfits and have learned that even if the dimensions are stated, it still might not fit.  Other than that, I once bought an older-type PC that I needed for work and it came without a DVD drive in it.  It was still worth what I paid for it.

I buy some online. But there a lot of things i would rather buy in person, such as lotion and perfumes. Some of it is so strong it takes my breath away, clothes i would rather try on. But what i do buy i have had no comlaints.Also buy a lot of gifts on line. that way i don't have to pay shipping twice. Just send it to them. No standing in line at the post office.

I buy online throughout the year, but when I really appreciate being able to shop online is during the holiday season.  Boy--does the internet take the pain out of holiday shopping for me!  Sweet deals, low or free shipping, lots of variety.  I've never had a bad internet shopping experience, and have the best experiences from Amazon, WalMart, Thriftbooks.com and JoAnn Stores.

I buy eeeeverything I can online!  Even toilet paper.  You can always find it cheaper than you can in the stores, you don't have to use gas AND it gets dropped off at your doorstep!  What more could a girl ask for??  ;D

Buying things online always makes me a little edgy- I'm never sure just what quality of product will show up in the mail, and I much rather prefer to be able to actually see in person just what it is I'm buying. I have recently become a big fan of online yard sales, however, and I do like those, because they allow me to meet with the seller and examine the product before actually purchasing.

I never heard of online yard sales but I do buy things online, mostly thru EBay and I haven't had any problems.

I am a little hesitant entering my information now, since I got charged 100 and then another 25 for a page that clicked on real fast, and I thought I was still doing the same thing, but it was different, you got to be super careful in who you are dealing with.
