CONS OF ONLINE SHOPPING

Here are some faults to online shopping:

1. Too wide variety
Having too much to choose from may be annoying and confusing at times. It makes decison making difficult.

2. Hiden costs
Many a times, people tend to look at the price that is stated beside the item as the total cost. However, shipping cost, delivery cost, etcs, tend to be overlooked. And as the shoppers are happily adding things to their shopping cart, they often get a shock of their lifetime at the end when they read the total cost for all their items!

3. Mailing problems
Although Singpost is a trusted form of delivery, your mails are still not 100% guranteed. There is still this risk that is taken when you buy things online. Plus, the person that you lias with over the internet is annonymous and therefore, problems such as credit card frauds, received payments but undelivered items may occur.
 
4. Unable to and feel the product
The products online are virtual and as such, you are unable to feel and try them. In addition, you are unable to check for defects of the product and especially for products like apparels, it is difficult to tell just by one look whether the clothes fit you.

5. Waiting time
Even though shopping for the product is quick, convenient and easy, waiting for the items to arrive is a  hassle. Especially when you need the item the next day, buying them online may not solve your problem. In addition, for clothes, wholesalers tend to drag the dates that they send out the items and this makes it inconvenient. Apart from this, Singpost does not delivery over the weekends and this delays arrival dates too!
