Hi guuuyysss... How are we all doing today?
So I was tagged by @wongi to share my shopping experience in her post regarding the pretty bad experience she got shopping online.
Well, here's my gist!
The world as we know it has changed these past few years. It keeps changing at a very fast rate that there seem to be new development, new ways of doing things every day.
Ecommerce haven't been left out as well. A lot of people have taken their goods and services online. As a matter of fact, we have quite a number of market places online where one can shop for just about anything.

I see a whole lot of nice, attractive products being advertised online everyday, on all social media.
Personally, I haven't really been so much of a shopping person. I don't place priority on shopping generally and the few times I do are times where its inevitable like when I need to get a particular kind of dress to attend a program as there's nothing in my wardrobe that seems suitable.
Most of my shopping is done physically. However, I've shopped for products online about two times.
First, I ordered for a handbag and a wrist watch. It was my sister's friend that was selling them and it was strictly on preorder basis.
So I paid for these items and waited for few Weeks for their delivery.
I got the products just about the time I expected them but the problem was that the bag was so much smaller than it looked in the picture. I only bought the bag because of the size but I ended up with a much smaller one. I complained to the seller but I was made to understand that it's not their fault that I assumed the size was a bigger size. That was it!
The bag I bought
Online vendors package and edit their product photos so much that you can't view them without admiring or even wanting to buy. Only for you to finally get the product and start wondering "why the difference"?
The typical "What I ordered versus what Igot".
The second experience was one I had when I ordered for an earpod online. There was an 80% slash in price for first orders so I grabbed the opportunity.
The delivery came just in time and so far, there haven't been any issue.
This was about 2 months ago.
I would say the experiences we have shopping online or offline differs. A person who wants to take advantage of a customer can do that either online or offline.
However, it's pretty easier to scam people online. I guess that's why a lot of people are a bit skeptical about online shopping.
The way I see it, it's good to find a trusted vendor or market place for easy, reliable and quality shopping instead of going from one vendor to another all round the internet.
Having a specified, trusted vendor saves larger percentage of the risks and gives one a little bit of peace of mind.
What do you think guyysss? What has been your online shopping experience?
Thanks for reading through!.. Please come again!
