Hello everyone, you are welcome to my post. I’m happy to participate in this engagement challenge.
What’s your favorite online shopping app & why?
My favorite online shopping app is Aliexpress. It is an online shopping app that was launched on the 26th of April 2010 by Alibaba group. It is an e-commerce platform that is made up of businesses owned by Chinese individuals and companies which allows them to sell their products directly to foreign consumers. One of the reasons I prefer shopping with them is because they sell their products directly from the manufacturers to individual customers no matter where you are in the world and this makes their prices low because you are buying directly from the manufacturer.
They also have their own payment system which makes both the buyer and seller feel protected anytime they want to make a transaction. Most sellers in the platform offer free delivery services but if you don’t see any free delivery service written out in a product that you want to get, you can luckily find another seller also selling that same product with free delivery if you take your time to look for them. Another reason why I love shopping with them is because of how intentional they are on how they package the items that I order from them.
What would you prefer to buy through your favorite online shopping app?
I love to buy books, healthcare products, some beauty products, phone accessories like my EarPods, chargers, apple wristwatches and phone pouches from Aliexpress. I also love to get non tarnish jewelries from Dottifi on Aliexpress because of their free delivery services and most importantly because of how durable and affordable they are.
Is it cheap or costly to buy through online apps? Share price in Steem and your country’s currency
I believe that shopping through an online app is often cheaper than buying offline and this is because some online shopping apps just like Aliexpress for example, offer discount codes randomly and also for first time shoppers which can give one a chance to save more money.
Buying things online can be a lot cheaper than buying offline because online retailers may have fewer overhead costs unlike offline retailers that have to pay rents for their stores, pay a lot of tax and also have more employees to pay salaries unlike an online retailers. So the fact that all these expenses are not incurred by an online retailer makes the prices of their products cheaper and even makes them to want to offer free delivery services to their customers without having to break the bank.
Would you prefer to buy items through online apps or offline? Which do you think is the best way of shopping?
I believe that online shopping apps tend to allow it’s users to have access to variety of products in one place unlike offline shops were you have to go from store to store in other to find what you want to buy. That is why millions of people still use them to shop no matter the series of bad reviews that some online shops get.
Another reason why people prefer to shop online is because they wouldn’t want to go to the shop and have to stand on a queue because they want to pay for an item. Shopping online depends on what exactly I want to buy. I don’t like buying my clothings, foot wears, cellphone, underwears, electronic gadgets, foodstuffs and gift items online because I don’t really think it is a safe thing to do.
I prefer going to the market by myself and seeing the quality of exactly what I want to buy before paying for it. So in my own opinion, offline shopping is the best way of shopping no matter how stressful it can be and this is because I always prefer to see the quality of what I’m buying before paying for it. The only reason I buy some items online is just because I wasn’t able to find the quality of that products that I wanted in offline retail stores around me then I happen to see it in an online shopping app and there are good reviews about that product from people that have bought from that particular online store. This is what actually gives me the morale to shop for items in an online shopping app.
