With the above topic, I think you already know my pick... It's just what you thought.... Physical Shoppings (yes naw, physical 馃槄)
Hi hivers,
Wishing you a great week ahead.
Let's jump directly into the business of today; Online Shopping Vs Physical Shopping
I know many will be surprised as to why someone as young as I am will be making this choice despite the fact that I am very close to the technological advancements going on in the world but truth is that If this topic was brought up before October 2022, I would have jumped into the ship of online shopping without a second thought but since the topic came now after my experience with online shopping, I will be a bit sentimental 馃槄
This is the shopping that requires a direct / face-to-face contact between the buyer and seller.
The buyer exchanges his money with the seller and go home with his goods immediately...No story story.
This of course takes the first stand in why I love physical Shoppings so much.
It really gives us the opportunity to decide our prices rather than paying a fixed price without a chance of dispute.
I really love that very act where the seller tells you his first price is #5000, then, you look up to heaven and look down and make some body movements then followed up by the statement, " You are not selling for #2000 Sir (Irero #2000) 馃槀馃槀
You might even end up buying the product for #3500
Truth is that most times when thinking about what happens here, it's always funny and it's something I will like to keep doing for a long period of time which I can't get from subscribing to online shopping.
This is another reason why I really love the physical Shopping very much because you will never hear anyone making the above statement which I believe most of us are familiar with.
It's always very very annoying when we see a particular product online displayed to portray a very good quality and then we go for it but upon receiving what we paid for, we find out it's nothing other than a substandard product.
It doesn't happen always to be honest but then my point is that you never get to experience this in physical shopping.
You get the opportunity of seeing the product you want to buy and then feel it to know if it's worth your money before even declaring interest with your bargaining ability.
No doubts that most of us have barely reasons to go outside except on special occasions but then physical shopping helps us to go out and exercise which is good for our health.
Even if you are using a transportation service to get to where you want to go, you will still have to walk around the different lines to get what you want which is a very great exercise (try chop before you faint sha)
The more you interact with people of different origins and background, the more experience you get... This is what you can't get from online shopping because nobody is there for your wahala.
Just today, I went to market to get few things and then the man I bought my goods from ended up inviting me to her mum's burial service, If I was around to honour this invite, tell me why we haven't become best of friends who will atleast attend each others events?
Tell me, have you received invitation from shopping online?
Now this is where my newly developed hatred against online shopping came from馃ぇ
As a music lover, I ordered a Bluetooth speaker on October with the plans of making use of it during the just concluded festive period.
I purposely ordered this early so that regardless of the delays the company and dispatch couriers may have, I will still be able to receive my Bluetooth speaker on December but I didn't know they had other plans 馃槱.
The said order came in just few days ago on January 3rd, when I have waited and waited to no avail and the worst was that there was no form of communication from their end either via text, email nor did they respond to their calls in the number provided.... It was a heartbreaking experience I must say.
Not only was the delay enough for them, the said Bluetooth speaker came in and it was already disassembled into parts馃槶馃槶.... I felt like crying though I really cried 馃槩.
I was really annoyed, I just disposed it because sending it back will still cost me money for them to send back another one in God's only known when.
THIS! IS WHAT YOU WILL NEVER GET IN PHYSICAL SHOPPING.
If It was a debate, I would have ended by saying that with these few points of mine, I believe you will jump into the ship of offline shopping but it's not 馃槄
Have a wonderful evening and great week
Thanks for reading through 馃憤
