killamch89 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Because of the Pandemic - online shopping but before that it was shopping in a store because I knew exactly what I was getting was the right fit for what I needed. Which do you prefer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Shopping in a store is quicker, especially if you need something right away. But some things are only available online. So if it's not something super important, I go with online shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you need exact measurements to know how something fits, a store is your best option. What I like about online shopping is the ability to get stuff you don't normally have access to in your own area. Either that or it's ridiculously overpriced.

Empire Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I do both, I shop online for items that you can't get at your local town store. I do get allot of things online but not as much as going into a food store. Also it's far cheaper to buy online regards tech then going into a tech store. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - computer parts are far more easily acquired online than in a store especially the specific component you're looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 On that note, far more tech items that you can choose and pick as the retails store only offers so much. Pickup brands that stores will never sell unless they are brands like Sony or Samsung. Won't see Xiaomi in stores. Stores won't sell RTX 3090s LOL - unless they already built systems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, the only RTXX 3000 series cards I've seen in any store are 3070s, 3060s and 30060 TIs. I've yet to see any version of the 3080 and up being sold in stores anymore and they're way above MSRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 If you think about it that stores would know that they won't make money on them, so why sell and not get money much, online are far cheaper. then again at the moment if a store did sell 3070s for double the cost, people will get them right away as it's not easy to get your hands on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lämmchen Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 There are things that I need to touch personally in a store for shopping. For clothing I definitely have to try the items on and that goes for shoes too. For most other things I can simply buy online and it arrives in a day or two.

Agreed although I'll tend to buy clothing online if I can't get the particular item I want in my region and it's online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
