What percentage of items do you buy off the web?

335e92tx · 01-29-2010, 12:19 PM

For me is probably close to 90. I bought a pair of shoes last week and thats the first time I have been in a retail store in months.

Lets exclude perishables/consumables.

KingOfJericho · 01-29-2010, 12:20 PM

Cost weighted or item weighted? I buy like 100 things a week from the grocery store but most big ticket items are purchased from the interwebz.

wwjbd24 · 01-29-2010, 12:21 PM

maybe 25%
i just find i need to see things in store for like clothes and shoes to try on and sizing. but once i know my sizing i find i buy online more

Small amount. I do order thinsg online but I'd rather support local businesses if I can.

Dan in PA · 01-29-2010, 01:55 PM

More than 50%. Customer service sucks in lots of the local shops I used to go to, and their prices are higher + tax.

Practically about everything, because you can get such good deals on the net compared to in person.

Kiemyster · 01-29-2010, 03:47 PM

anything car related or electronics oriented i cop off froogle. well car shit from here of course.

Amir87 · 01-29-2010, 04:59 PM

99% of my car stuff is bought online.

Other stuff like shoes/electronics about 5% of the time.
If I can find something I want for significantly cheaper than local, then I'd buy it online.

Memphis1 · 01-29-2010, 05:14 PM

i buy everything off the web, even food. unless i need something last minute. life's too short to waste in stores

whiskeymilitia.com, my friends. They buy a bunch of stuff in bulk, and pass some of the savings on to you. They constantly have name brand shirts for about $5-$20, jeans and such for $30-$100, and a friend got some $150 sunglasses for around $60.

Waiting for shipping can suck, but if you're not in a hurry, go for it.

This. I'd rather develop a relationship with a local business when possible.

Nawaaz · 01-30-2010, 04:13 PM

Rarely purchase from the web......But if I do, it's mostly for work...Or my car.

Optherion · 01-30-2010, 10:58 PM

I recently bought shampoo and Ramen noodles on the internet when I could have gone to a CVS and picked it up. Is that getting bad?
