If you are like me, you have long list of items posted on your fridge that you need to shop for. You try to batch them up so that you can run all your errands at the same time. On your shopping excursion you end up driving 60 miles round trip, fight for parking spots at the mall or grocery store, find out that 3 of the items you need are out of stock and can’t find 2 others. In the meantime, you wait 10 minutes in each checkout line. By the time you get home you are exhausted and have wasted several hours of your precious day.
Take a moment and add up how many hours you have lost and how many gallons of gas you burned on your shopping trip. What if you could save all these wasted hours so that you could spend them with your family or doing activities that you love? What if all your products where always in stock and what if you could pay less for everything than you paid for at the store. Best yet, what if you were able to save all that gas?
This is why more and more people are now shopping online for many of the products that they use on a daily and weekly basis. According to several research studies, more than 80% of people in the US have purchased at least one item online and online sales grew 26% last year over the previous years. More and more people are finding it very convenient to shop online.
However, there are two big concerns with shopping online:
- Credit Card Security: it can often be difficult to determine if a online shopping site is secure or not. Many people judge the security of a site based on how well-designed the site is. This is what the crooks are hoping you will do too!
- Shipping Fees: The average person does not want to pay more for a product, including shipping, than they will pay at the local store. Local stores absorb the cost of shipping into the product’s purchase price. Smart online retailers will also absorb this cost or offer shipping incentives for people who purchase a reasonable amount.
