With the advent of online platforms along with traditional in-store shopping, it is only natural to see a whole new perspective on shopping. Today I m participate in this contest Online Purchase vs In-Store Purchase organized by @alfazmalek. Each method has their own personal pros/cons based on lifestyle preferences. This subject seems very interesting because I like to shop online and at the same time I like going to the store. I want to start a discussion here in which I talk about the benefits and disadvantages of both types of shopping in terms of what I prefer overall.

Online shopping is definitely more convenient for me. It enables me to view endless choices without leaving the comfort of my house. When you are a mother of a small child, it is difficult to make time to visit physical stores. The online platforms give me the freedom to purchase items at any hour even late in the night when my little one is asleep.
Additionally, I can easily compare prices, read reviews, and discover products that might not even be sold in my local area. New, they’re also appealing for their home delivery convenience and simple return policies. Thus, with a few clicks, I could easily achieve the things I need without any long line ups at mall. My on-line activity nicely matches my busy life-style and makes me calm.

I think basically there are some sites to shop online which are better than shopping in store. The biggest benefit is the frequent sales and brand incentives on various online platforms, especially during the festive seasons or at special events like black Friday or cyber Monday, new year sale.
Online retailers also provide many deals such as exclusive discounts, promo codes and cashback offers which hardly seems to be available in a local store. And since you can compare prices on many sites much more easily and quickly than if you were to go store to store in person.
A second reason lies within the competition of online markets. As sellers try to draw more consumers, they offer better prices and discounts. For someone like me, who loves to save a buck here and there while shopping, those online deals make it even more rewarding.

I think online stores have a better customer service than a physical store these days. Online platforms have not only taken a place in the new economy, but they have had to put customer satisfaction front and center to remain competitive with the rise of e-commerce. Most of them provide 24/7 support via live chat, email, or even calls so that any issue can be solved, regardless of the hour.
And online shops offer easier returns and refunds, sometimes with clearly defined policies and free return shipping. They pull out all the stops with things like order tracking, sending regular updates, replying to customer reviews and feedback, etc.
Physical stores will always be good for physical interaction, but online stores have adapted to provide convenience and efficiency, which is more practical for me in this day and age.
In conclusion, online shopping has some advantages over in-store shopping, including convenience, better deals and better service. Because, it suits the need of the hour and, is my first choice without any hassle to shop.

¡Saludos amiga!🤗
Las compras online revolucionaron de una manera sorprendente la manera en que adquirimos nuestros productos. En lo personal, no soy muy amiga de esta modalidad, porque no me ha ido muy bien que se diga... Pero sí admito que en muchos aspectos se ahorra tiempo e incluso, desplazamiento.
Te deseo mucho éxito en la dinámica... Un fuerte abrazo💚
