Online Shopping, Losing Real Customers

Hello everyone,

It's raining heavily recently here in Indonesia. What about you?

Today, I like to discuss about online shopping. It becomes more common nowadays. How come...? Even people sell plants by online. How do they pack the order, how do they send it, everything can be done perfectly now.

I doubted to follow this culture at first. Some people think that it would be better that we buy things to the shops near to us. That means we help them, helping their bussiness.

However, COVID 19 made us stay at home longer that before. The price of goods that sold online is very competitive. It is much cheaper than the price of goods bought offline. Well, for some people who care about saving money, this is especially woman, will look for the things with the lowest price but good quality. This made people like to buy online. It also saves time.

I guess this has been so common in developed countries since years ago. It could be different conditions in different countries. How about online shopping in your country? Well, I also started to be online seller. )))

Let me ask about a grammatical rule. Buying things 'by online', or just 'online' without 'by'? I'd be happy if someone can help me.

Thank you and have a nice day! :)))

    • Hello Peony, 

      I like your statement, "When corona began to climb the ladder of popularity" lol...

      Yes, I agree with you. When you talk about products like clothes, bags and shoes, people would love to come and see it. But the market are still good for products that are not available around. 

      Well, actually, I close-open the olshop recently because of another activities. But I'd like to continue it. So, if you like it, you can do it like a hobby. 

      Viva online seller! Lol.

      Thanks. 

  • It is raining heavily here too for couple of week. After Covid-19,  we get used to buying necessary even unnecessary items from online shopping. In view of its importance, I also started online selling in addition to job. It has been wonderful experience. Both are so confortable. :) 

    • Hello brother Arif,

      Glad to read from you. Thanks. 

  • Online shopping is very common in China now, especially in big city such as Beijing, Shaihia etc. Due to some advantages of onlineshopping, covenience, saving times, much more selecting, buying some special tings that you can't buy from the local shop. Of course, covid-19 also affects the habit of shopping, more and more people choose to buy things online. But there are also some side effects as to online shopping, people become more lazy, someone cannot save more money, overpackaging is also a bad things which is a wast of sources.

    • Hello mountainandearth,

      What you say are true. And I concern on your last sentence. Overpackaging is a wast of sources. So, how to deal with this? 

      Thank you 😇

    Even our post company have to hire new workers due to heavy incoming mails... i guess it's good because many ppl out of work because of covid.   I even saw many new delivery guys when I received my parcel or foods

    about the grammatical -  I think is Online.   seldom for me to see by online".    "i am doing business online"    i purchased things online... so on.. on.. on..
