Technology had made so many things more digitalized giving you the liberty to buy or trade any form of goods and services online without living your current location.​

I don't like to shop much so I usually settle for buying stuffs online and having it delivered to my current location, though I do go out shopping when I want to just enjoy the walk in the store and handpick whatever I need. some Friends doesn't really agree with me sitting at home most of the day as most of my Businesses and jobs are online I find it hard going out most times.

Do you like to shop online or would you go to the store any day and get whatever you need from the stores around you.

I prefer online shopping more than visiting visiting the local offline store. The stress isn't warranted in any way. I just love where I'll be at the comfort of my home keep ordering and seeing my products landing at my doorstep xD, life made easy indeed.
xD, but some of my pals don't agree with us on this, I like the cashless policies and transactions too I don't like moving around with cash, so I just order whatever I want online, pay with my online payment method and have the goods or service delivered at my preferred location. That's how simple I like to live all the time.

I shop online as well as offline. Well, online shopping can save you time and the hassles of visiting the stores, but sometimes you will receive low-quality products. Shopping online can also be enjoyable especially when you feel the products you want to buy

    For most things, online shopping. I have switched to shopping online for clothing as well. I am able to find more options and save money. I found brands that work for me too. Plus, I can do a brand check and make sure my money is not supporting some racist old white dude. Hard to avoid these days though.

    It depends on what I'm buying. If its for booking train tickets, books or products that I dont necessarily need check out before hand, I'll shop online. If its for clothes, food, some types of electrical goods, I go offline.
    Same here. I’ll buy a t-shirt and a cap online but anything outside of that no. Everything else though ill buy online with no issue.

    For sensitive items, there is nothing in the world that's going to get me into ordering them online when shopping online is a big challenge for me. Food items and my medications (drugs) are the last thing I would order online.

    I really love shopping online, but I also like going to stores. It all depends.
    One silly thing that I also love to do especially when I'm bored at home is going for window shopping 😂. It gives me the opportunity to get out of the house and being cooked up. It's always a good sight seeing for me.

    I love the cashless policy too, I don't like the situation of controlling cash on my hand, I just love the digital cash, and ordering anything I want to order while sitting right here in my home. Carrying cash have made me to spend unnecessarily which I'm working so hard to avoid, that's the reason for my cashless policy now.

    xD, I understand your information and the high prices of items at Amazon, at least eBay is there, things are cheaper there.

    Online for me & I like that I've replacements listed for items that may not be available.
    The shopper drops everything at my front door, I sanitize my products, bring them in & put them up. 😁

    I used to prefer indoor shopping but in this present time with mass shootings and everyone following me around thinking I am a thief has led us to transition to online shopping as well. Even grocery stores allow you to select your list online and have a worker find the products for you. In a world of white supremacy it feels good to make them folks work for my money. When able I will be transitioning to only buying black owned products. A lot of our stores and products are found online so the move will be seamless.

    Hell hoodie or no hoodie basket or no basket something in hand or not mfs always try to play your boy as a criminal. Until I turn around to either curse them out or make them feel stupid and overtly racist for haggling the only black man and couple in the store. I put the fear of Ogun in them folks every time. I go off on an and embarras them in front of folks then next time they act hella friendly like nothing happened. They are indeed the weaker dumber race and I remind them of that every time they get out of line!!!

    Local grocery. Insta Cart doesn't have any BOBO markets listed, but if I can hire valid college students to deliver foods from BOBO businesses, I won't need Insta Cart, Uber Eats, Doordash, Postmates, Walmart, etc. I'm working on it.

    A lot of people are of the opinion that Amazon is always expensive when compared to other online shopping stores but it's not something that bothers me too much because Amazon is the only online store that I have fun confidence in with any products I purchase from there. It's the reason why I don't bother about other alternatives.

    At this time it is even safer to remain indoors only leaving the house when it's necessary. This is the more reason I like working from home too, just having your own private work space with no one regulating how you appear to work. Online shopping is a sure Option for me any time and any day.

    Just last week my girl set up her grocery list on a app then was able to get the store worker to pick up our items. I just had to drive to the store parking lot to get everything. Convenient and safe. I feel you man. Those remote jobs is where its at right now.

    Thats a good point you made. Not having to be followed around stores or having to talk to suspected WS makes online shopping preferable.

    Online shopping is here to stay. I would say online shopping has become mainstream, most online shopping apps and stores even offer bargain prices to be competetive and give the customers the best deal they can get. With the era of Covid 19, online plateform have taken over, and is safer for evryone. However, on two occassions , I have had to regret buying things online because what was delivered to me was of a lower quality than what I ordered.

    If I'm looking for something very specific I'll shop online. Especially when it comes to items where stores will price gouge such as books. But there are a lot of things I'll go to the store to buy since certain things like some office supplies may have an interesting variety in the stores that I would have trouble coming across online.

    Online. The less I have to deal with people the better. lol

    There are way too many crazies out there and if I can avoid shopping in public I do. I will go for groceries and things like that but most other things I am buying online.
    I'm telling you honestly. It was in Buffalo that a crazy White supremacist traveled miles only to come and shoot up people in the supermarket. No where is really safe anymore, so I'm going to cut my out time to the very least possible as I can.

    We just had a few dudes roll up in a parking lot and spray it. No one was hit thankfully. Guessing it was a gang-related thing but who knows. I feel like the only people who want to take away our gun rights are criminals. This goes for street ones and politicians.

    I would shop online anytime, any day, except for days that I want to move around and feed my eyes. It saves time and helps you decide quickly from the comfort of your room plus, shopping online is also a way of gifting yourself by yourself. Your order gets delivered to you in a box which you get to unwrap, that feeling is heavenly.

    It makes sense though. Like the old white racists at the top want our guns and the thugs want our guns. I feel like the government is to blame for the gang violence among black men. Almost as if they use them to hurt everyone around them. I don't trust the government at all at this point.

    I've grown to prefer shopping online, simply because it's safer, convenient, and a lot of the time cheaper. I see these confrontations black people always have with white or Asian people while shopping or just hanging out and, I can't risk being in a position like that because I don't and won't let slick shit they do slide.

    I'm very hands-on if you get what I'm saying.

    I understand you, and I share same opinion, I basically work from home so there is Virtually no need to leave my home most times except when I have to go see some friends or some other important stuffs.

    I do most of my buying online and have it delivered to home that's way more convenient for me.
