Online Store(e-commerce) Vs. Offline Store (Retailers)

which is the best for shopping ?


Today's life is becoming very easy, some time I feel like a king of the world because on a single click of mine world is at my doorstep ".

I believe you all heard in fairy tales by your granny's and naani's and also watched in Alladin's movie where there is a character named "Gini" who offers three wishes to the person who make him free from the magic lantern.

As per me the real world Gini's are these Online Store(e-commerce store like Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Paytm mall and etc.) who offer huge Discounts and special offers and also assure to deliver their products to their "User's door steps" in a single click on their magic lantern {Haha☺️☺️} mean to say on online portal or websites.

Whereas, in offline Store (Retail store) Buyers/users have to take an effort to visit the store -to- store and shop- to- shop in search of the products of their choice.

On these online store (like AmazonFlipkartMyntraPaytm mall and etc.) you are free to view each and every products with their prices, specifications for electronics goods and size charts for clothings and footwears. this helps you out to make quick decisions and accurate selection.

whereas, in offline stores excluding big malls, small and medium size stores have limited stocks to choose, and have great sales personalities who keep their eyes on you, track you till end and try to sell something out of something at the end you walk out empty hand or with some other products which u realize later on.  

Online store have wonderful payment options like online payments and Cash on Delivery (COD) 
online payments options:-
      1. Net banking 
      2.  Debit card
      3.  Credit card
  yes last but not the least  we have Cash on delivery (COD) which allow you to book your product first and pay it when the product reaches your doorstep.

Whereas in offline market if you are running out of your money which happens generally at the end of the month for mostly middle class bachelor's and some time with some families they have to wait till the next salaries credits.. this happens due to less payment options in this segments.

In terms of payment securities most of the e-commerce brands uses secured payment Gateways for their online payments or some of the brands uses the bank's payment Gateways which gives more secure online transactions.

last but not the least we have delivery systems most of the brands give 100% trackable delivery system. which is visible in you  order section on your account on their website.
