In
this era of globalization, online shopping is popular among people in Malaysia.
According to online shopping statistics in 2010, the number of internet buyers is higher than
the internet users. With the enhancement of technology and internet, I believe
the numbers of people who choose to shop online increasing day by day. This is
because, every time we open any page in the Internet, we will find advertisements
of online shopping like Zalora, Lazada and many more. As the popularity
of online shopping grows rapidly, many people choose to shop online to fulfill
their needs. Clothes, shoes, accessories, health and beauty products and many
more can be purchased via internet.
It cannot
be denied that online shopping has its advantages; it is convenient, saving
your time, easier to do comparison and many more. Online shopping is convenient
because people can buy things they like without going out, waiting in line, and
can take as much time as they like to choose. In addition, people are free to
shop at anytime they like such as shop without having bath in the morning. Besides,
it is easy to make a comparison because everything is in your fingertips. People
can make comparison about the price at several places before they make a decision.
Other than that, online shopping gives people a lot of variety of products to
choose. One can get different products and different brands at one place. I
believe through online shopping, people’s needs are easy to be fulfilled
especially for people who are busy and have no time to shop.
However,
several cons await people who shop online. One can be deceived by the sellers
such as they are giving you fault products. The products can be only beautiful
and attractive in the picture but soon as you received it; it is not like your
expectations. Sometimes, people will receive a product which is different from
what they want and the sellers do not want to take responsible for it. Besides,
online shopping takes a few days or weeks for delivery process. People need to
wait for days or weeks before they received it. If anything happens, the returns
process is hard to deal with. People need to pay for the cost and it takes time
to be settled.
In my
opinion, online shopping is awesome as they are many advantages eventhough it
has its drawbacks too. However, there is important thing people need to put
into consideration before shop online. That is about the safety. There are few
steps can be taken. Firstly, you need to make sure that the website is reliable
and secured. You can do it by doing some researches about the sellers such as
their reputations. In addition, you need to be careful to not exposing your
important information to the sellers. You must also make sure that the website is
reliable and can protect your information. By failing to do so, you are only
putting yourself into trouble.
Apart from that, you need to make verification about the product before purchasing it especially health or cosmetic products. Nowadays, many health products are been sold through the net. Before purchasing any products like health products, you need to do some research about the products such as the ingredients, originality, certification and others. People need to be extra careful if buying health or cosmetic products through the internet. People nowadays are too engrossed about beauty, buying supplements like collagen and vitamin c and forgotten about their safety. By taking precaution steps before and during online shopping, it gives you a lot of advantages. Therefore, you need to take precautions before and while shop online as it prevents you from having disappointments and inconvenience later. In conclusion, by considering the safety, online shopping can always be awesome! Be smart.
