Edelweiss3 Registered: 11/19/08 Posts: 1758 Loc: American living in Germany	Di, I only buy online what I can’t get in stores near by. I’m a big advocator of supporting small stores and businesses. The alternative would be ghost towns, which would be a royal shame. I do buy books over Amazon, just because I usually read English books. Oh and yes, I made an exception once and bought your soaps; … just used up the last one. _________________________ As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live. Goethe

Many have said that about our products! _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

orchid Registered: 01/21/07 Posts: 3675 Loc: British Columbia, Canada	I haven't bought anything physical online yet. What would entice me? If the product was from a location in Canada. For me to avoid the customs/duty tax. And a product that I knew would be difficult/impossible to get close by elsewhere. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Ellemm Registered: 11/04/08 Posts: 601	I buy all sorts of things online: clothing, shoes from discount sites, special makeup I can't get easily, weird and normal things from eBay, etc. We don't have an awful lot of selection here: the one bookstore is a chain and they're nice enough in person, but forget special ordering or help. Amazon gets me the stuff easily and without any fuss. I do patronize the local stores, but see no reason to confine all my choices to town. I can drive for over an hour and schlep from place to place or click a few buttons and save myself the hassle.

andrewson Registered: 02/09/09 Posts: 77	I buy mostly in stores. But if I find any new product which is not available in stores then I go for online shopping. _______________________ Online money management

jawjaw Da Queen Registered: 07/02/03 Posts: 12025 Loc: Alabama	I buy local if at all possible...and when I buy online, I don't give my CC number, I call the 1-800 number and order thru a warm body, not an online form. Don't trust them. _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Plains Woman Registered: 05/10/09 Posts: 27 Loc: Iowa	I buy mostly "odd" things online. Our son wanted to plant a row of Norway Spruce samplings. Nothing close by with anything like what we wanted so ordered 100 of them online. I like Amazon for books because I like the price of the used books. When I read for a book club it's usually a book from Amazon, used. I have a heck of a time finding T-shirt knit in any fabric store anymore so order it online too. When the seed catalogs come in January I find so many things I like and can't resist so order it online. Those are just a few of the things I buy and it's sure convenient. If you're afraid of giving out your credit card number check into PayPal. It's slick!

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I use credit cards online and never have a problem. In fact, I've found that credit card companies are watching accounts very carefully. I've heard of people getting phone calls from their bank when there is unusual activity on their credit cards. Kinda cook, huh? I did soemthing out of the ordinary for me yesterday. I had three gifts to buy so I went to Crate & Barrel and ordered them up. I was able to enter all three addresses so the gifts could be delivered to the right doors. Loved it. It was so easy. One was delivered to Texas, one to NY and the other was local. I didn't have to truck to the store, buy, wrap, go to the post office, etc. It was great. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
