What do you prefer the most, online shopping or offline shopping?

What am I shopping for? A new phone - give me the Apple store a few hours after the new iPhone is announced so I can order it (or 1 generation behind) and have it magic its way to my front porch in a couple days

Stuff that i "always" get and doesn't matter so much about timeliness (shelf-stable staples, paper products, etc) - probably gonna be online (or combined with an in-person trip to Costco etc)

Clothes? Have I bought them before? Yes? Order them online over and over. No? Probably gonna have to go in person to try them on (ugh).

Books? I prefer in-person, but often get them online

In short, I don't have a global preference, but do have preferences based on the specific category/item in question

Hate buying clothes online; have to return 80% for fit/color. Don't like buying books online; sick of getting new books with mashed corners. Don't trust buying food online; frequent past-dating and damage.

I can't think of any offline shopping experience that is bad enough that I would seriously prefer doing it online, unless it's to avoid a drive across town.

In person. The local grocery store is sponsoring local sports teams and volunteer groups. Online retailers are not.

It depends. In general, my preference leans towards online except for specific edge cases.

Offline.. I like the in person interaction.

That said, I do most of my shopping online because of Covid

I prefer to avoid shopping at all costs. Unless absolutely necessary.

When you shop — someone is making a good money. And it's not you.
