    I don't usually purchase products online unless they are used books because I prefer going to the stores when I have something to buy. I don't really trust the whole online shopping method because I don't get to see the items, especially electronics. Plus, the shipping can be expensive because they charge shipping for each item I buy, which is a no no to me.

    The only thing I purchase online is either electronics or some clothes. You can buy other items in bulk but I never see the point when you can easily drive up to a store.

    Not unless I have a plan to buy certain items I don't order anything online just because it comes my way as I browse online. But sometimes I find myself ordering online after a short period of evaluations mostly when emergencies occur and certain devices in my home are damaged.

    I order online very often but mostly virtual goods and services, because I rarely buy physical goods to be delivered home.

    Many times is costly buying online than buying at a local store, and obviously takes more waiting time get an order arriving that going directly to shop.

    I too love to order items online. I find myself shopping online at least twice a week or more. I love to shop on eBay and when I see they have deals of the day I cant help but to purchase something. I think if i didn't have a computer or a phone in front of me the majority of the time I could probably save a lot of money but I love shopping online.

    I order too much online but not on things that need to be fit like dresses, jeans, clothes, shirts, etc.. but for jeweleries, electronics, gadgets and the like - I just order them online...

    yes..I do online shopping too much.. The last item I bought online was a bag..I don't have problems with shopping online..It gives me convenience and saves me a lot of time.

    That is impulse buying which I tend to avoid in most cases. I only buy something online if I need it. Sometimes I can take months before placing an order online. Well, I think it is just my habit to be careful.

    Yes I do. I feel like I do probably 60% of my shopping online, and that only is not bigger because I do my grocery in person at supermarkets. But everything from drugstore items to clothes, shoes, makeup, electronics, gadgets, appliances.... I buy everything online! The prices are more competitive, it's way more convenient and it's easier. If you don't find something in one store you can just click it out and look in another one, while if you need to go from store to store you'll be spending a lot of gas and time.

    I generally don't order anything, unless I really need it. I do often find myself trying to make that 35 dollar limit on Amazon though, just to get the free shipping. (I'm not paying an extra 10 dollars for shipping!) Which usually means I buy some stuff that I technically don't really need desperately. :rolleyes:

    I don't buy online too often, but most of the things I buy I do get through the internet. If I want to buy a product, I can usually get a better deal on it online, sometimes even significant amounts off. So if I'm looking to buy pretty much anything that isn't produce, I check the internet first.

    I definitely know what its like to order things online too much. When it comes to sites like eBay I love looking for deals and trying to get things for the cheapest price possible, especially if I know it's cheaper than what the item is worth. Sometimes finding a good deal is actually the whole point in itself whether someone realizes it or not. It becomes its own little game and can be highly rewarding. Just make sure that you don't do it too much and you should be good to go. I set hard budgets for myself and am sure to never go over.

    I definitely order way more than I should. I just find so many good and rare things online and I go crazy. Sometimes I find crazy good deals and sometimes I don't even need I just buy it. But I know my limit. I say if you work hard for the money you do have treat yourself.

    Not too much but the thing is when its about going according to the needs then ordering online can be something which works necessarily in my opinion.So yeah its a good thing to be done especially when its about taking your comfort to the next level it can be a good way for that.

    I do order too much stuff online, prices are always great so I just go ahead and buy a bunch of stuff I don't need. I end up enjoying whatever I buy though so it's not really a big deal for me.
