How often do you buy things online?

1 Answer

Answer :

Walmart doesn’t have the selection of brands I like, so I do most of my shopping these days for just about everything except clothes online. I always start with Amazon, both because of their fantasic selection and their very easy return process. I also buy a lot of books and music from half.com and have no problem with ordering from any site that has what I want. (By the way, there’s no easier way to send a gift cross country than via Amazon.)
