When shopping for relatively inexpensive obscure items, on-line shopping may be preferable.

I've driven miles in a snowstorm for an item confirmed by a phone-call to be in stock and wasn't, had never been and never would be.  I would sooner have lost the cost and avoided the journey.

My general rule is to not attempt to purchase anything so expensive I couldn't afford to be bilk'd on the deal.  Overall, this have given me much on-line shopping satisfaction.

With a reliable vendor, it can be sane to order a $1 item with $5 shipping and wait a week for delivery, rather than than spend hours driving and pack a meal or have lunch away because of the distance.

On line prices can seem like a great deal, but be mindful of the shipping charges.  Christmas shopping on line has its advantages...no waiting in line, no hunting for parking spaces,no assles, everything delivered to your door!  If you are shopping for shoes and clothes, size can be an issue.  Returns can be a bear and colors and sizes are always 100% accurate or represented accurately.

Advantages are you can sit on your computer & shop. Disadvantages are many, you need to check the accountability of site which is providing the online shopping site

Some advantages of shopping online are , you don't have to go outside, its fast and easy, its not tiresome.

But it has some disadvantages like you can't actually touch, and examine your product before purchasing it. The shipping may take more than 1 day. And you might have to pay some extra amount for using your credit card .

Disadvantage, like the others said make sure its a true business!! And when ever entering credit card numbers make sure the site is a Secured site, how you tell is in the address bar it will be https   not just http, the s means its secure and as always just  be careful!
