are we blinded by shopping on the net@

many of my friends nowadays automatically shop on the net. last week my food steamer packed up and the model i chose to replace cost �30.00 plus min. on the net inc. postage yesterday i popped into our local morrinson store and during a browse i came across the identical model as aforementioned and bought it. a tenner in my pocket perchance. how many would have bought on the net? food for thought.

Before I buy ANYTHING on the net I will do a search to compare prices. Ofcourse there are exceptions like if it`s a companies "own" brand. An example I`ve found is mobility aids. A LOT cheaper on line.

You have to shop around on the web just like you would do in the high street to find the best savings - just a lot easier to do online. The postage/delivery charge can be the killer on the web though and some companies seem to hide this until youve almost placed the order

yes cas,
the postage can be very high but thats the nature of the beast.
this is ,can be, at its worst on ebay but we can reject and i tell them why.
