Online Retail Therapy What Are The Benefits?
You've had a hard half term, its been fun but also very stressful, I think you're in much need of some retail therapy, and so am I!
It's not always easy to go out and spend an hour in a store choosing items to then queue up for the changing rooms and find you need a different size or having your little ones crying and moaning cause you're taking ages.
Well, online shopping is the answer, we all know its so much easier when you have kids, you can take control of your basket, it gets delivered straight to your door and you can do it anywhere you like, I mean I've even ordered things while cooking dinner!
So browsing the internet for new shops to buy clothes for both me and the kids I stumbled across an amazing site that caters for both.
Now, What do I buy? T-shirts, Blouses, Jeans, A new dress? Or maybe kids clothes, they always need new school shoes or trainers.
You can't forget about the accessories too, I spend way to much time in this department I love a good pendant necklace or bling ring. My go-to fashion choice is leggings and a long top, preferably black. (it's slimming!)
So what are the benefits?
Pros: Shopping Online is so much quicker, your saving time, money and energy! Think about the petrol you saved driving to the park and ride, and that park and ride ticket, the lunch you would have bought when you're out. You've probably already saved at least £10!
Cons: are that if you get the wrong size it sometimes takes weeks to exchange or refund. Especially on sites like eBay or Amazon
Pros: If you spend over a certain amount in certain online stores you can get FREE shipping, and sometimes it's even the next day!!
Cons: are that sometimes you have to spend a bomb to get free shipping and can take forever to come.
Pros: If your anything like me I get really anxious in crowded shops so online shopping is perfect for me!
Cons: Online shoppers do not always know if a site is a legitimate retail store and if is safe to shop.
The Bottom Line:
Online shopping is far far easier than shopping in the store but in-store shopping still has its pros too, make sure you know the store's policies before you shop for both in-store and online to save time and sometimes money too.
