What are the advantages of online shopping?

There are some inherent advantages when you shop online.  Here are a few:

1.  Saves you time - you do not need to go out of the house or office if you have a specific item in mind.  With just a few clicks of the mouse, you are done shopping and can proceed to doing other stuff that you need to attend to.

2.  Saves fuel - shopping at the comfort of your home/office means you do not add up to travel costs specially during peak traffic hours.

3.  Saves energy - what I mean here is your energy; you do not need to go to physical stores and walk around looking for the item that you need.

4.  Compare prices - you could check out different online stores to find the best price of the product that you need.

5.  24/7 availability - most online shops are available 24/7 so you can shop anytime.

6.  No need to wait in lines - do I need to explain further?  Try physical shopping during holiday seasons.

7. Anonymity - there are products you will be ashamed to buy if you go to a physical store.  Online shopping keeps you anonymous.

8.  Searching for the items you need is easy - just use the SEARCH feature of the site.

9.  Prices could be lower - most online shops do not maintain physical stores which make their overhead costs lower.

10.  Information and reviews - online shops provide venues for customer reviews and also supplement the product sales page with photos to give the customer an informed choice.
