Advantages of Buying from a High Street Store Vs Online

Why is shopping in local stores better than shopping online?

1.    You can experience what you are buying before you buy it.

There is nothing worse than ordering an item which you have fallen in love with on your computer screen, only for it to arrive and be nothing like you expected. Online orders are never what they have been airbrushed and photographed to look like, and so it is unsurprising when they arrive and are actually made of awful materials, are out of proportion, or have flaws that were not apparent in the pictures. Shopping in-store is the complete opposite to this because you can see, touch, and try what it is you are buying before you actually make the purchase.

2.    Staff Attention

In a store, there are always attentive staff members whose job is to make your shopping experience enjoyable. You can be sure that you will be treated with respect and be provided consistent support throughout your time inside their store. Online, on the other hand, you are in it alone, without anyone to make your experience memorable.

3.    Instant and Immediate

When ordering items online, it comes without saying that there will always be a delay from when you hit BUY to it actually arriving at your home. When buying in-store however, the second you purchase the item it immediately becomes yours.

4.    Returns

High Streets stores usually have much easier return policies than online stores, because all you have to do is take the item back and they will refund you straight away. When returning online you have to repackage the item, print off and fill in a return label, take it to the post office, and then wait for your refund to arrive after they have received the item. Why go through all this hassle when there is a much easier solution?

5.    Staff recommendations

Not only are staff there to make your shopping experience enjoyable, but they can also provide you with insight into which items are the most popular, and which ones will be the most suitable for your needs. When shopping online you do not have this luxury and have to simply rely on online sources to aid you through your purchase.

6.    No shipping fees

Online, you often have to pay for the shipping to you, and/or return shipping. When shopping in store however, you never have to worry about shipping fees because there are none. No matter which high street store you are purchasing from, the passing of the item from the staff member to your hands is completely free.
