Quantum (quantumkatana) Do you buy online more? What do you buy online?

I buy books, office supplies, computer components (although a couple of years ago Office Max had a great deal on a touchscreen laptop that I bought for my daughter for school) and electronics online, but clothes and groceries at local stores.

Meanwhile the US Commerce Department reported that online shopping boomed in April, climbing 11.9% year-on-year.

Nik Krasno | 19856 comments I'm with Aliexpress - free delivery on most items and many things way cheaper than local stores..
Usually order big groceries delivery online too, but not from China

Ian Miller | 1857 comments Like Alex, I buy groceries and clothes at local stores because I want to see what I am buying. I buy wine both online and from stores, and I guess I tend to go online when I need choice. Unfortunately, with computer stuff, etc,. in NZ the online prices seem to be about the same as stores, and there is the problem of servicing. For most other things, at my age I have them.
