The pros and cons of online shopping. Online shopping has become a popular way to
shop in recent years. Most interest was shown by younger individuals. However, many businesses are increasingly offering online selling systems to catch up with the current trends. Let's look at the pros and cons of online shopping.
Pros:
Online shopping gives flexibility to individuals to shop anytime by sitting at home without having to worry about visiting the shops or malls. One can select a variety of items from clothes to laptops in a single app, unlike
traditional shopping where one needs to go from one shop to another to buy
different products. Online shopping is much more convenient and a time-saver
compared to traditional shopping.
Cons:
One of the disadvantages of online shopping is that sometimes products do not appear as shown in the picture which is not
the case with physical shopping. Sometimes customers get defective products or
wrong products which takes a lot of time to return and get the right product
delivered. During the festive season, popular products go out of stock which creates disappointment to the customers and they need to wait until the product becomes available. In traditional shopping, customers can book the products if they are out of stock by paying advance money to the shopkeeper and can get the product faster which seems difficult with online shopping. There are both
advantages and limitations of online shopping, but in today's world online shopping beats traditional shopping.
