Why people shop online?

Online shopping in the recent times has become the most sought mode of buying things. A lot of things like books, electronics, grocery and clothes are all bought online with a help of few clicks. But why are people shifting to online buying than in store purchasing. Is it because of COVID-19 only ?? I don't think so. There are a number of reasons why people tend to online buy stuff they want, basically for the convenience it offers. Let's iterate all the reasons for the shift in buying strategy :

1. The variety and range of the products is really huge no matter what item is in consideration.

2. You need not travel to the store, which in most cases a tiresome job to get done, especially in the urban area.

3. Better pricing with coupons and discounts offered by various website stores.

4. Easy and quick turnover times for product replacement and refunds.

5. No sales pressure from the shopkeeper.

6. Quality and discreet shipping service offered.

7. Easy checkout process, no need to wait in the queue for payments.

8. Clear product description provided, also vendor details are transparent making it a secured transaction.

So generally with all the pros discussed I guess in the years to come online shopping is going to stay. 

I however personally feel in store purchase gives me more pleasure as I can verify the product completely before buying it. What's your say? Do write your thoughts.
