Pros and cons of shopping online

SAVE BANGLADESH

Pros
• If you live in remote areas or are powerless to shop in the traditional manner, online shopping can
open up new opportunities.
• Product choice may be better than in a traditional store.
• You can research a product that you are involved in, find the price, the availability, and if you
select, buy the item online. You also can select to use your research to buy at a local
store.
• The Internet is always open: 24 hours a day, seven days a week, four weeks one year.


Cons

• There are thousands more choices available online than you would find in your local stores,
which can be confusing.
• You can use hours online searching through page after page and still not find what you are looking for.
• Shopping online includes seeing the creation, which means waiting for images to weight. Even
with a fast modem, this can be a time consuming process.
• Prices may not be better than from a traditional store. (Watch for shipping costs above the
quoted price.)
