There has been a surge in online shopping in the
last
Linking Words
fifteen years, providing the users to buy goods and services.
However
Linking Words
, I have to disagree with the statement that online shopping can lead to the shutdown of all the shops in towns and cities.
firstly
Linking Words
, the online mode is the most suited for buying air or movie tickets without the hassle of going to an agent or theatre.
This
Linking Words
is a huge advantage given the hassle of traffic congestion in towns and cities and the amount of time taken to travel.
Secondly
Linking Words
, the items manufactured at a particular location can
also
Linking Words
be made available in an online channel can be ordered and shipped to any address.
For example
Linking Words
, the item available only in China can be viewed by the user on the website and
then
Linking Words
can purchase and shipped to the address in the United States.
On the other hand
Linking Words
, some items should not be purchased online according to my view.
For instance
Linking Words
, I had a size issue with the skirt purchased online. I have placed an order for a medium-sized skirt for my birthday. But I have received a skirt of size ‘L’ which I couldn’t wear on my birthday. Again, I had to place an order for replacing one of my correct sizes.
Moreover
Linking Words
, one cannot have a sales staff guidance for online shopping which is indeed a pleasure for shoppers. Another point is only 50 per cent of the world’s population has the access to online shopping. And
also
Linking Words
, online frauds and crimes cause concerns for both purchasers and retailers. In conclusion,
although
Linking Words
online shopping is an excellent medium for obtaining goods and services, it can never entirely replace the shops in cities and towns. Shoppers can choose to buy goods for their needs from both online and offline channels.
