Advantages: both have pluses and minuses

Disadvantages: postage costs for online time petrol for high sreet

Oh online shopping is so great especially for people like me who don't have many shops around them . I first got into buying things online about five years ago whilst recovering from an operation.

As i was unable to drive it was a god send to be able to buy my groceries online. At the same time i bought a number of christmas gifts, mostly for my son as christmas was fast approaching.
I've never had any real problems buying online but i try to stick to reliable sites who are easy to contact. I have bought many items over the years from Ebay but now postage costs are higher its not always the bargain site it once was.

Play.com and Amazon are amongst my favorite sites as they offer free delivery (min £5 spend at Amazon) When my son for example wants a new game for his game station i can usually find it cheaper and delivered quickly online saving a minimum of a thirty mile round trip to visit a Game shop (thats of course if they have the "wanted" game instock.
so buying online saves me time along with petrol and most importantley my sanity)

Saying all this though theres nothing like meeting up with a good friend and enjoyng a day out browsing all the clothes stores , of course this has the added advantage of allowing you to try clothes on before you buy them and more importantley lets you have a good day out with a friend along with a long lunch of course bliss.

Summary: use which one suits you depending on time , health ,cost andconvenience
