I rarely buy anything online... It's funny, because I spend so much time on the internet and you'd think it would be very convenient for me... But no. I guess I am just so used to going to the store that I just haven't gotten out of that routine of things. I find it easier to look through things that are in front of me, and when it comes to clothes, I like to be able to try them on. I absolutely have to try on pants before I buy them, because things often don't fit right on me, and sizes seem to vary depending on brand or even just depending on if I've gained or lost a few pounds, which happens all the time with me. Also online, the only option I have for payment is credit card, and sometimes I just don't feel like charging something and receiving a bill later. I can write a check or pay in cash if I shop in an store. Plus it's an excuse to get me out of the house, and something I can do with friends if we go to the mall to buy things. I have bought things online in the past, just a few things really. I bought a video game as a gift to my boyfriend, it was a game that wasn't sold in stores and could only be bought online, and there's a few other things I've bought. Oh and the whole thing with having to pay for shipping and then having to wait to receive the thing you bought in the mail is a bit of a pain too... Cheaper to buy the thing and have it instantly. But I do see how internet shopping can be convenient, and I do it once in a while, usually for specific things I know I want rather than to browse for things.
