Online Shopping vs Direct Shopping
Introduction
Online and direct shopping differentiates in various ways. However, they both are convenient ways
noticed that many people are starting to prefer online shopping more than direct shopping. Online
shopping is most convenient for individuals that don’t have time to go to the store. 79% of U.S.
consumers shop online, up from just 22% back in 2000 direct shopping can be most convenient
for those who are rarely at home and don’t have time to compare prices. It’s especially convenient
for those who work outside of home and students on campus. Direct shopping can also be a lot
quicker since you don’t have to worry about shipping. All you have to do is grab the item you like.
Online shopping
The process of searching for and purchasing goods and services over the Internet through the use
of a web browsers referred to as online shopping. The main allure of online shopping is that
consumers may find and purchase items they need without ever needing to leave the house. Today,
Direct shopping
The shopping activity experienced with a physical existence in a brick and mortar store.
Advantages of Online Shopping
The Internet has revolutionized the way we shop. Because of the numerous advantages and
benefits, more and more people these days prefer buying things online over the conventional
method of going into stores. What are some reasons that many people love online shopping and
1. Convenience:
Customers can purchase items from the comfort of their own homes or work
place. Shopping is made easier and convenient for the customer through
2. Saves Time:
Customers do not have to stand in queues in cash counters to pay for the
products that have been purchased by them. They can shop from their home
or work place and do not have to spend time traveling. The customers can
also look for the products that are required by them by entering the key words or using search
engines.
3. Easy Payment:
Now we do not have to worry about carrying cash in our pockets because
online shopping lets you make payments online in a much easier, safer
4. Product Comparisons:
Companies display the whole range of products offered by them to attract customers with
different tastes and needs. This enables the buyers to choose from a variety
of models after comparing the finish, features and price of the products on
5. No Crowds:
People hate crowds when they are shopping. Especially during festivals or special events, they
can be such a huge headache. Also, it tends to be more chaotic when there are
more crowds out and this sometimes makes us feel rush or hurried. Grumpy,
annoying, and smelly people also annoy me when I'm out shopping. Plus, parking
becomes a huge issue. All of these problems can be avoided when you shop online.
6. Fewer Expenses:
Many times, when we opt for conventional shopping, we tend to spend a lot
more than planned. There are other outside expenses on things like eating
7. Price Comparisons:
online. Also, we have the ability to share information and reviews with other
Online shopping is convenient, provides quick access to product reviews and makes price
comparisons easy, but it lacks two factors consumers value: human interaction and help. And
those advantages we can get from direct shopping and there are more advantages of direct
1. Authenticity:
Offline shopping is more authentic than online shopping. While buying the
product we can feel the texture of it and know what it’s like. We exactly
know what we are buying while buying anything offline. But in online
because what we see on the websites is not always what we buy when the product reaches us.
The taste and preferences of the customer change from time to time. While
buying any product from a store we have the flexibility and the choice to
try out outfits. But while buying any product from a website we don’t have
this facility. Therefore, buying offline caters more to the changing taste and preferences of the
customers.
3. Bargaining:
4. Instant Gratification:
Perhaps one of the best reasons to shop in-store is the fact you can take your purchases home –
immediately. While there are some exceptions, with most online purchases you
will have to wait at least a couple of days or longer. Sure, it is easier to order
items, such as books, online, but when it comes to purchasing items such as
gifts, home décor, or clothing, there’s no comparison in experience when it comes to online vs.
direct purchasing
Online shopping — that glorious invention which allows people to buy things from the comfort
of their homes. No more travelling to multiple stores to find the right product; no more having to
deal with over-enthusiastic sales persons; no more standing in long lines at the checkout counter.
The e-commerce boom has certainly changed the way we shop for the better. But, like
everything else, the world of online shopping is not all roses. Despite all the efforts of e-
commerce companies to alleviate them, there are a few problems that customers still have to face
while shopping online. Given below are some disadvantages of online shopping.
1. Delay in Delivery:
shipment. Though the duration of selecting, buying and paying for an online
product may not take more than 15 minutes; the delivery of the product to customer’s doorstep
takes about 1-3 weeks. This frustrates the customer and prevents them from shopping online.
2. Additional charges:
How many times has it happened that you've spotted a great deal on a product and when you're
amount isn't high enough to qualify for free shipping. And even when it is, sometimes these
shipping charges are added on each individual product (if you're buying multiple products of

looks like. Customers may click and buy some product that is
not really required by them. The electronic images of a product are sometimes
misleading. The colour, appearance in real may not match with the electronic
images. People like to visit physical stores and prefer to have close examination of
good, though it consumes time. The electronic images vary from physical
6. Frauds:
Sometimes, there is disappearance of shopping site itself. In addition to above, the online
payments are not much secured. So, it is essential for e-marketers and
The rate of cyber-crimes has been increasing and customers’ credit card
details and bank details have been misused which raise privacy issues.
online shopping will not hinder its growth, Online shopping helped businesses to recover from
the recession. Merchants should pay attention to the stumbling blocks and ensure secure payment
system to make online shopping effective, the following advice may be followed by the E-
7. Quality Issues:
The biggest problem while buying things online is that you have no
guarantee of a product's quality. Reviews are not always reliable and all
the research can't assure you of a product's quality; fraudulent sellers who
intentionally mislead customers to increase sales are the prime reason for
faulty/sub-par products being sold online. With the volume of goods e-commerce companies
handle these days, it can be quite difficult for them to conduct quality.
Like online shopping there are also some disadvantages of direct shopping. Given below the
the shops are limited. Sometimes, the stocks are old and are up for discount
and sale. Basically, in offline or any shop we get less numbers of choices as it consists of manual
work. We have to choose in that a smaller number of materials due to manual factor.
2. Time consuming:
workplace to the store is time consuming. It is also time consuming while trying
out the outfits in a store or even going through other products. In off-line
shopping customer move one place to another and one shop to another in search of their desired
product.
3. Information:

Though direct shopping is more trustworthy and secure but from the perspective of modern

As we can see in the following term paper which is given, we can assume that the online shopping
is the best way to shop in every way. Though direct shopping is trust worthy but for out benefit
and extra comfort we can choose to take the opportunity to buy from the online shopping. Now
