Lessons from My Online Shopping Habit

I have been shopping online years ago since our place is not that abundant with items or things that are always available and if ever that they are selling items, they were very expensive and only a few of the products were cheap.

Well, after I discover that I can buy online, it's really convenient for me because when buying online, it is more cheaper than buying the products here in our place.

Before, buying online is really hard to buy because of our place and most of the time that there were products that are not available for shipping here into our place but today, it's now easy to order online and most of the products online are available for shipping into our town.

One thing that I like about shopping online is that the products were really cheap, there were vouchers that I can get discounted when buying it and aside from that there were also on sale products that is more cheaper that it was before.

Before, shopping online is one of my hobby and almost every day, I have a delivery in our house but I stopped online shopping after I realized that I need to save money for my family and there were times that I am wasting my money for useless things when buying online.

That alone hit me hard after that realization about not wasting money on useless things because I don't have any savings on my pocket and most of my money were only for shopping online. I was addicted to shop online before that I can't sleep if I cannot order at least once a week.

My wife told me that it's really not good to buy and buy and buy products online because we don't have any savings at all and we need to have savings for our family and our family. I think I need to buy online when it is necessary and it is needed and useful for us like for work or in the house. Well, it is really true that we don't have saving and that hit me hard and thinking that she was right.

I think my worst experience for buying online is that the items or products were not correct as you expected to be that there were some missing and/ or damaged products.

In fact, I shopped online this month for my work and there is this one item that I shop online in one of the shopping store apps that I am really disappointed and angry.

Well, it was a product of led light that I shop online and the description of the products is that there is led light with a 2cm stand. It was cheap than the other led lights that I search and after the product arrived, only the led light that they delivered and there's no stand.

I was really frustrated that the products were not as I expected and I reached out the seller for this clarification for the my order but to no avail, they ignored me. Well, I file a complaint in the shopping app and it was resolved but the hassle that they gave me at that time is really troubling since I am now very busy.
