No. I don't really trust online shopping.
Firstly, I have doubts about the quality of the products. There's no guarantee they can be shipped safe and sound.
You can't check the products before you buy them and you can't even see them clearly on the computer. They may turn out to be faulty. Think of all the procedures you then have to go through, sending e-mails, returning the problematic products, waiting for the new ones, only to find they're still not perfect. How frustrating is that?
Secondly, online products are not any cheaper, while those with discounts don't guarantee quality. Some prices are similar to those of local stores, but you need to pay extra for shipping.
Security is another concern. It just doesn't seem safe to give out information such as credit card details on the internet.
Lastly, online shopping is for convenience. But I am a student with holidays and plenty of time to shop. I have supermarkets within walking distance of my home. There's no need to risk all the above.
