What would you NOT buy online?





The idea of e-commerce has skyrocketed into a common everyday practice in society. From clothing to toys and even jewelry; almost everyone at one point in time, has made a purchase via online. But I, along with many online savvy shoppers, may wonder what things in particular we would never buy on the internet.

Personally, clothing is something I'm always comfortable ordering online - for the reason being that I have the ability to make a return in a physical store if I am not happy with my purchase. In addition, I feel that the two things I would never purchase online include: appliances and grocery goods.

Though sites such as Best Buy, Amazon and many more, offer consumers the ability to purchase appliances online, I feel that it is a purchase needed to be made in person and one-on-one with an expert. While sites may provide detailed features of the appliances, I will never receive the peace of mind that I need to commit to making a purchase; without a sales rep (expert) to guide me with my decision. Plus, it'd be heavy to carry into my home when it gets delivered only on my front porch! And I can only imagine that I'd be spending hours trying to figure out how to successfully put it together!

Likewise, I would never purchase groceries online. Aside from my love of going to the grocery store to touch and feel my produce, I would assume that the produced ordered online is not as fresh as the produce I'd get from the store itself.
