Hello Ameerah!

In my opinion, I think in-person shopping is best as you can check the quality of anything you are purchasing. You can see that the price you are paying for the product is worth it or not.

On the other side if we talk about online shopping, I got disappointed a lot of times. Many times the quality was very poor according to the price, next you have to pay extra charges like tax and shipping. When you try to return the product it takes a lot of time to refund the money.

You know I feel like whatever you are shopping ( specially in India ) in person is much better than online.

Hey, I love the convenience of Online shopping, especially the Quick Commerce like blinkit, Swiggy instamart making life so much easier. However, my hesitation remains with fashion. I still find offline buying more authentic. I have a small fear of getting fakes all the time.
