Delivery of goods is usually prompt and items are delivered to your house.

A wider choice of goods is available as we can search for a number of web sites that sell the same item, and we can select the best price.

Many people are concerned about security if they have to use a credit card to pay for items over the Internet, but the more we use them, the more confident we are that our card details are not going to be stolen and fraudulently used.

Many goods can easily be bought over the Internet, but some items such as food or clothes we would need to touch to feel the quality before we are confident to buy them. It would be daft to buy a new perfume without ever smelling it first!

There may be a problem returning unsatisfactory goods to the company. Returns policies should always be studied!
