Trend of Online Shopping in India

Soon there will be "near field communications" (NFC) where the person with smart phone can shake the phone for payment, it will be the easiest form of payment for financial transactions.

What about the quality of the product which I'm going to buy. There may be solution for the quick financial dealings. Gadgets assure the quality of my product? When I buy a product be it online or offline, i think of full value for my money. This is achieved when I'm personally dealing with the salesman. Not with an unseen and unknown person.

abs, this is the fear of unknown while dealing with, virtual shops in e commerce, and for this the creation of trust takes time, and building of trust by e commerce merchandises, is the one big point the e commerce shop owners need to built it up.

Until such online shopping doubts are cleared, the concept will not succeed as a whole. There may be customers for online shopping here and there but not absolutely. I'll tell you the condition of virtual shopping in my place. Even for physio therapy, they come with their equipment and treat you at your home. Why should I think of online shopping ?

One of my friends had a bad experience with online shopping when she ordered sarees.They were untidily packed for one thing and one of them was slightly frayed, she did exchange and got a better one but these things can happen.Here the problem is that the stuff goies through at least two or three different hands before it reaches you.Like for example if I were to order from Mangalore, if the seller is from Mumbai he will first send it to Bangalore which is the HQ in the state and it is then sent to Mangalore.So there is a delay and the original package gets changed just to save weightage...

This's a valid point, then place of virtual shop I mean the HQ of virtual merchandise is important, abt, time of delivery products as well as quality, thanks.

When we do online shopping, we don't get the product on time. It many a times get delayed.

Excuse me sir, but dresses, dress material especially, Sarees are not meant for online shopping. There is always a big risk if you go for unbranded items online.

There are some branded virtual shops, which continues with brand identity and customer satisfaction, so it is always a good idea to shop from virtual and well known e commerce sites. In case of apparels there is hardly any such branding options, but there are some other categories, which can be bought easily from e commerce web sites. :whistle: :whistle:

Nothing can be as easy and as quick than a sales across the counter in virtual shopping. All transactions can be finished in a jiffy. The icing on the cake is you are able to verify the quality, look and feel according to your choice.

That is why while purchasing apparels I used to go to offline shops as for virtual shops or online shops for me is best suited for products which are not easily available in smaller towns though many of it can be available in metros easily.

Yes, in such cases one can go for online shopping. But one should be prepared for risks.

Risk is always there, no doubt abt. as online shopping is all abt. creating and building of trusts among merchandise and customers. It should be taken care of otherwise customers have many choices.

thanks @ Devyani Sarkar, in terms of merchandise, one can open a shop with an e commerce web hosting and then slowly build the trust, when some one try to open offline shop he has to go through for offline locations, and local matters such as giving share to influential persons and others can reduce profits.

See the previous responses one by one carefully. It's a long thread. See it carefully. I too have committed such such mistakes.

Ok friends I have understood. That's my mistake. I apologise.

Online shopping and purchasing from the store are entirely different experiences to me. Well I do rely on online shopping, especially when I refer to the most reputed sites and I know the deals are better. Sometimes, I check a product online and go to the near by shop to see the product in real time, and order the same online. Online shopping is fun, and time saver, for me as long as I am not making an expensive deal.
