I prefer to shop in stores. I like to physically see the item before purchasing it (Whether at the the store or online)

Neither …. The only shopping I like to do is grocery shopping… I make all my gifts…

Most of the time I prefer to shop on line and avoid the long lines and finding a parking spot.

Hum, I'd say online because we don't have a car and it's easier that way! Also I like to read the customers' comments, it's usually very helpful !

I prefer to shop in the store because you can see the item before you buy it. Many times the things online look different when you actually receive it .

I like to shop online for things that I know can drastically vary in price from store to store… To ensure that I get the best deal. But for everything else I would idealy like to see the product in-store before I make a purchase.
