Lately, many thing that I want to have are no more available in store in my region. The only way to buy them, is on the internet directly from the manafucturer or on a internet store.

My question is the following: Do you shop on the internet? And what is your opinion on internet shopping?

I dont yet if I will start to buy on internet store.

Well, I often shop over the internet for different things, whether it be anime/manga, geek gear, or just plain l33t swag. I'm not going to post any sites, but it is best that you try to validate their authenticity before shopping with them. There are certain stores that have nothing but crap.

If you want any good stores to look at, then go ahead and PM me, nospheratus.

If your serious about anime and live in the UK, you -have- to internet shop, cause anime is on same ratio as gold dust is :/. But thankfully I'm not and just need to feed my Lain addiction.

As regards net shopping, i got some awesome pc hardware and stuff from it, if you are careful bout how you buy from.. its all good, just be careful wiht your info. That can lead ot identy theft if you mis manage x.x

I have no problems with Internet shopping. Although I perfer to actually shop in stores etc. I don't like waiting for it to come in the mail box. Plus sometimes I have some problems along the line like missing sets or it ain't working those kinda things that gets me annoyed and i have to wait another month or so.

Overall, I've had a pretty good experience shopping online. I think that as long as you do some research on the places before you decide to shop with them (make sure they have a good reputation and such), then you should be ok.

i have't shoped for much else than DVD's and games on the net realy... but so far no problems! i like the Play.com site i think the best part is, free delivery to UK residents!!

i think internet shopping is good avoid the crowds but as has been mentiond you don't get it insatanly you have to wait for the thing to arrive first!

The fact is that internet shopping is great for the availiability of stock. But there could be some prob:

Fake sell, Ther is always dude who want to make money by cheating over you.
Update of the online store, Even if the page say " avaliable" this isn't always true.
stuff out of order, New stuff don't come easyly.
Where you buy, If your in canada and buy in USA, there is aditional cost.

But ordinary, when you buy online, you make it sure it come to sense.

The best way to buy/sell is Ebay and the best way to pay is PayPal.

With those i'v never had prob.

Online's ok if you know what you want, but if you're shopping for fun, the stores are way better 'cause you can actually see what you'll buy.

The only things I buy online are the things that I can get a much better price online if I would to buy it at the store, especially college textbooks, computer parts, and electronics. Occasionally if I know I can't find an item in the store then I would buy it online. The only places I think twice about buying online is if it's being bought from a person and not from a retailer, since there's more of a chance of you being scammed by the person. For instance, places like eBay is filled with person sellers, but as well as retailers. That's sure that I think twice. However, I prefer to buy at the store (if it I can't find it any cheaper online) than I would online.
