5 Reasons You Shouldn't Shop Online

Share on Google Plus

e-Commerce is eating up our markets and are now considered to be the smartest way of buying stuff. But

here are 5 Reasons why you shouldn't shop online if you are a shopaholic.

1. The time lag in getting your hands on the product.
If you are super excited in buying a product, we recommend you not to go for online shopping. The reason is simple, waiting from the time you order until the product reaches you is an appreciably frustrating part of the game. Adding to this, if your reside in any remote part of our country, the waiting can go even longer. Usually if your are super excited you might me most probably counting on fingers to grab the product in your hands.
And unfortunately if the product isn't what you wanted to be, the returning and ordering the right product again can really test your patience.

2. Garments and footwear are best tested when you wear them. 
If you are into buying ready-made clothes or garments online, beware you aren't trying on them. The model displayed in the website maybe fair or dark, tall or short, masculine or skeletal. You might not be built as they are. Different types of clothes suit different types of people. These are clearly unpredictable. Just because a product has an attractive design or whether it suits the model cannot decide on whether it would look good on you. So it is always better if you go to a shop and try on them. And it is the same story with the foot wears.

3. Accessories are not as they seem to be in the computer screens.
Your eyes are entirely different from the camera lens. What you see on your computer screens are enhanced and edited versions of the products you are going to buy. Accessories are most often appreciably different from what you see on the websites. While you have them in your hands, you might feel that the one you saw the other day in the roadside shop was much better. Why take risks while you can find attractive stuff using your eyes and moving around.

4. Returns and Disputes are never treated well on calls.
In case you buy a product and you are left unsatisfied, don't you deserve a second chance? Yes, you do. While you purchase items online there are options for you to return the products, but the process you need to undergo is tedious. Find a courier partner, shipping the product back, waiting for their approval, waiting for your amount to be credited back, every part of the mission is challenging and frustrating. And what if the return ends up in a dispute? How long are you going to explain stuff to the telephonic agent you are speaking to? I don't mean that you can never find a solution. Obviously you can and you will. But you will indeed have to go through a lot of steps. Where as if you shop your product from an offline retailer the chances of getting your issue resolved in higher and faster.

5. Warranty, Guarantee and other after sales services.
In most of the cases the after sales services are referred to the concerned brands by the websites without their direct involvement. Whether it be a laptop, a watch or any electronic device. Once you experience a trouble and contact the online seller, they most commonly given reply is the details of the Brand's customer care number or their service center details. The websites do not play any role in the service sector and it is your sole responsibility to find and get your product fixed by the authorized service center. But if you shop your products offline there are high chances of your retailer carrying out these procedures for you which is less hectic. And the influence of a retailer over the dealer is always more than what the consumer has.
