Online shopping
Purchasing goods online is as easy as using a phone. You can buy everything online and shop from
anywhere on the world. All you need is a computer, an internet connection and an acceptable payment
method. First you log into an online shopping site. You will find menus with a variety of goods and services to
browse through. Each item will have a price tag, a description (e.g. colours) and available sizes. You simply
choose, click and pit the items in your online shopping trolley. Then you Insert the delivery and payment details
and submit your order. Delivery is often free. As simple as that! No queues, no cashier, no menacing self-
services!
You asked me why more and more people are shopping online nowadays. The answer is not difficult to
find. We all have busy lifestyles and little time. Online shopping allows consumers to shop from the
convenience of their homes. This saves money and time traveling to retail stores. The variety of goods available
online is great. One is able to browse through products from around the world at any time of the day or night.
Online stores are open 24hours a day. You can browse freely and take your time to make your choices without
pressure from a vendor or sales assistant. You can compare prices and get the best deals. Items are often a lot
less expensive than in regular shops. There are good bargains online. You can find clearance sales, special offers
and discounts.
There are a few basic rules though. Make sure you shop on well-known sites. Make sure the site is secured.
Look for the security icon on the website. There is a risk that your personal information can be hacked or
leaked on the internet. Check your order carefully before you place it. Most good sites allow you to return
goods if you are not satisfied with your purchase. Look for this information on your site before you buy.
