Name a thing that you don't like about online shopping?

Elessar · 26-30, M Best Comment
It's convenient for some things. It's an absolute scam for other things. I've seen cables and stuff sold for €9.99 that would normally cost €2 if bought locally.

It's difficult to order milk online. Fortunately we have Rosa2 the cow.

@helenS if you are not gored and flung 50' you may get cream. No milk😋

@helenS do it right and their "udders" grow!

I just wish the temptation of hitting that add to cart button was considered aerobics.

Delivery delays. I don't buy supermarket stuff like food etc. online (I only ever get that in person) but Ebay purchases, etc. are mostly done that way (rare to do an in person Ebay transaction completion now).

Australia Post has really shit delivery time for regular domestic mail like normal parcels - usually quoting a week.

I know international parcels had big delays due to airline shutdowns but that should be overcome now.

Worst thing is sellers in the USA refusing to ship to Australia at all. However today I ordered an Australian made hat only in stock in the USA now and get free shipping to Australia. So sometimes it's a total opposite.

If its clothes shopping most of time it arrives looking nothing like it does online.

It's Online shopping. What is there to like?

Do you dislike "thoughts"?
Or do they just happen?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@helenS head on collision was going to happen. Mom herself got badly hurt. The driver died. I would have died. She was holding me in her lap. No safety stuff back in the early 60s in any cars.

@DeWayfarer Thank you 😕
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@helenS it's in my "more about me" post I made a few years ago. Lots of stuff happened to me.

Expensive shipping fees.

The delivery guys always appear when I'm doing something important or not home and you need to sign a paper if they're delivering something expensive. 😑

Buying something for a butt load of money only for it to never be received
zonavar68 · 51-55, M
@Bignakedguy Or be broken, or incorrect. And the seller doesn't want to have a bar of it trying to blame the postal/freight agencies. That happens far too often.

Stuff not needed destined for the garbage dumps
helenS · 36-40, F
@cycleman Yes but fast fashion is also available at your local shopping center.
cycleman · 61-69, M
@helenS Yes. But more fun too ain't it?
AbbySvenz · F
You can’t try it on or feel the material before you buy it….😒

Returns are a pain. I rarely buy clothing online
hunkalove · 61-69, M
I don't shop online. The Internet is just some nerds' greed scheme. If there is something I have to buy I go to the nearest place that has it and I get it and go home.

@hunkalove [quote]but I can walk.[/quote]I didn't even know American men have feet 😏

no valet to park my car and still haven't found a personal shopper online
Clothes .They look great but when you recieved them they are nothing but a cheap rag.
Slade · 56-60, M
No scratch n sniff cards to sample the product
DylanGuy · 22-25, M
cannot inspect the product before a purchase.

The wait. In store is much more fun.

It's monotonous and boring
MonaReeves86 · 36-40, F
You have to wait for it to deliver and if it’s not like advertised it’s difficult to get a return
MonaReeves86 · 36-40, F
It costs just as much to return the items
FeetAreFantastic · 41-45, M
That I can't do it for everything
@FeetAreFantastic I thought you might have said that you can't see the assistant's feet... 🤭🤭🤭

Just the wait

You don't see the actual item you wish to buy and if clothing... you don't know if it will fit or not.
Some things arrive in really bad shape too.
