Hi, friends.

We are currently in a chaotic phase of global economic uncertainty, everywhere in the world is almost similar to this situation in terms of economy, energy scarcity, food scarcity and many others. but that's not what will be discussed with friends here.

A few days ago I was walking around the housing complex, and I noticed that a lot of grocery stores and other needs (conventional/retailers) had gone bankrupt, maybe this happened because prices were soaring even worse, and people prefer to buy from online stores instead of buying from neighbours, which causes the economy to slow down is undeniably this is the impact of the global economic chaos and technological advances.

If you are a person who has money to shop for daily needs, I suggest you buy from merchants around you instead of shopping online whose stores are far from your place. This must be done to turn the wheels of the economy in your neighbourhood and save them from bankruptcy, at least you give them space to live.

The presence of an online shop has indeed made a lot of changes, in terms of convenience, of course online shopping is a fun thing because we can easily choose products that have the best reputation at the online store, of course not all products can be purchased online and what I'm doing right now is more buying daily needs at shops around the house even though I know it is more expensive but interaction with people around is very meaningful.

When shopping online, we really need to pay attention to the reputation of the store so that when we buy goods, we do not receive goods that are not according to our wishes. I choose to do online shopping only for items that I can't get around my environment and if I can still get the items I want around me, then I prefer to buy them around me because the goods we see directly will certainly satisfy us more in shopping . I totally agree with you that interacting with the people around us really needs to be done.

Online shopping has made people's lives much easier. People now don't go out much for shopping. Through online people now get the opportunity to shop various products easily. The big advantage of online shopping is that you don't have to go out to buy products, if you order at home, the delivery man will come to your home and deliver the product within a certain time. Many shopkeepers have changed their business because of online shopping. Many businesses are now offering online shopping as well as in-store shopping. The business of the shopkeepers who have opened both offline and online facilities has not deteriorated much but the business of the traders who have not started the online service has been affected a lot. Neighbors are not selling as much in stores as they are shopping online. As times have changed now we cannot do away with online shopping even if we want to but those shopkeepers who have not started online buying and selling along with offline buying and selling should start online buying and selling.

Nowadays I've seen a lot of people choosing to buy in online stores rather than around their house. And many users suggest buying around their homes because it helps their economy.

I think we should be wiser in this regard. Like it or not, we cannot rule out that the world is currently moving towards digitalization. And on the other hand, we are humans who have morals and attitudes that show our harmony as humans. Included in helping our neighbors in their economy.

I personally include those who often do online transactions. But that's only for some items that can't be found around where I live. For groceries and retail materials, I prefer to go to my neighbor, even though it is a little more expensive. I think our economy will work if wealth is distributed evenly, not just in the hands of one big capitalist player.

I understand your point of view, on the side of the suppliers and local merchants to reduce the rate of bankruptcy, but you also have to understand that the bad economic situation affects everyone including the buyers.

Whenever the prices of goods and services start soaring higher and higher, it is beneficiary to the merchants and extremely terrible for the buyers. Customers are constantly looking for how to get quality goods at cheaper rates. So, since purchasing items from online stores seems to be the best option for most of them, they go for that best option.
Another thing is, critically thinking about, those local merchants didn't buy those goods from some local manufacturer. Most times, those goods are imported ( especially in my country ) and then sold and higher prices to earn a befitting profit.
At the end of the day, everyone is just doing what works best for their self-interest.

Shopping from the neighborhood could be a personal decision for anyone. Infact, the sellers don't even want your money sometimes because they have special customers or they work when they please or as their mood demands.
Well, I understand the need to grow the local economy around one, that's why I do most of my daily shopping around. It doesn't matter what I intend to buy, I try to get it around. I know I spend alot, it doesn't make sense carrying huge bags, unless what I went shopping for isn't sold in the area, or too expensive compared to someplace else I know, or it is of a higher quality/quantity, then I spend my money where I get a good return for it.
Paying merchants online should only be for items that are rare or not available in the area of residency.

I try to buy things that are available in the nearest stores in my area, if they are of the right quality. Even if it's a little more expensive, it's still more comfortable for me because I can try them on and see the quality. I almost always buy food near my house, I understand that it is important for them and it is also convenient for me, because I can always buy fresh products from a seller I know and I am sure that he will sell me only fresh products, and will tell if something is not worth buying today.

If I need something that these stores do not have, then of course I will buy it on the Internet. Before I read your post, I didn’t think about what and where to buy, it happened as if by itself, because it’s convenient.

You humbly think that's what it is but for those who are earninf profits or merchants but, did they think the same about it? Nowadays everything can be bought using online methods since it is all the option we could have for those countries who lacked those wants and needs, and although some of you who will criticize those decision due to various reasons, but it is up to the person to decide what he prioritize.

I really feel bad now days when I use to visits to our local market they are not earning enough because people engage in online shopping. In my opinion with online shopping we must have to give importance to our local market as well, it creates employment for our own native people. If we don't support them then who will? I know some time online shopping is profitable for us but if we only support online shopping in this level then our local market can't survive and when we don't have any other option except online shopping then they will start taking advantage because too much is not always good.

I see this from the point of view of a buyer who is actively shopping online, I definitely do it every week because I play a direct role as a buyer but I also play a role as a seller. In essence, everything is mutually beneficial if we know how to manage goods from store A and sell them in store B. However, if this is the moral support that must support offline stores, I think we are still among offline buyers. We do not always buy from online stores due to slow delivery, length of time for items to be packed etc. Of course we will choose offline stores to shop in person to meet urgent needs.

The pandemic accelerated the transition to online shopping by a few decades at least, and this is because people were very afraid of going out of their homes to make any purchase, while at the same time many small business were forced to close their doors, this benefited online giants like Amazon and once customers had a taste of ordering everything online and getting exactly what they wanted for a low price then it became impossible to stop this trend, and now brick and mortar stores are struggling to keep themselves in business.

It has been over two years since the pandemic began, and restrictions on movement and communication have been lifted for 1 year before the post, so I don't consider the pandemic responsible for the non-visit of nearby grocery stores. Shopping online has provided people with conveniences that accommodate their busy schedules. Despite being almost the same price, it reduces stress with proper time management; however, most of these societies have a large population and should not eliminate shopping at nearby malls.

And I disagree, while the trend towards online shopping was already there the pandemic accelerated it, and this was possible due to the force of habit, habits can be beneficial or counterproductive, and when the pandemic started people had to adapt to a new reality in which going outside was full of restrictions, so they adapted and now even with the crisis being over now they spend more time indoors and online than in the past and they got used to shop in this way, and this explains the recent growth of online shopping.

Urgent needs could be, but if it's something that we need exactly that day, and if we need something that would be alright in the long run as well, like do not buy something just because you need it that day, it's urgent but it's also long term.

I like to buy things online not just because of the price but also because of the options. Whatever you want to buy, it's going to be something that will take some time to get to you, but at the same time you could compare 5-10+ companies and their products and if you really want to buy then you do that. This is why it's going to be quite important to handle something like that, and it will take some time for sure.

well, I think the practicality and ease of shopping through online shops has made us all prefer to shop more through online shops. And I think local business people or local traders also have to keep up with the increasingly advanced times. they can make their shop also available in the online shop so that they can still absorb more consumers or can adapt well in this era. some local traders who do not keep up with technological advances will definitely feel a setback in their business. because some of their customers will definitely decrease as a result of switching to an online shop. so steps to promote local business can also be done by providing advice or insight to local business people so they are more familiar with increasingly advanced technology and utilizing it in their business. it would be great to have an online shop as well as a physical store at the same time. it is likely that customers will survive and even increase. helping with insights is also most important.

Buying inexpensive items online, shipping costs can also play a role. But some trading platforms sometimes make promotions when delivery is free in a certain period, or online stores make free delivery from a certain amount, so the buyer can win, as he will receive free delivery and the store, since they will be able to sell more goods . The volume of online trade is growing every year, this must be taken into account.

There is one benefit of buying inside the shop which is basically just making sure you could buy something you want by seeing it, but aside from that I do not think that online shopping has any disadvantages at all.

But it's also a point that can cause trouble for us if you're in a hurry and order online. But when you receive an item that is not what you want, you will have to spend more time waiting for them to change or accept to use it reluctantly.

Quote from: justdimin on January 20, 2023, 08:33:32 AM

And I know it is going to sound silly, but it is not just beneficial financially because of cheapness, but also because you do not buy something you don't need. At shops they try to sell you something, retail workers come and try to convince you to buy a thing you don't need, but otherwise when you are shopping online, you may see something you don't need and buy personally but there will be nobody that is forcing you to buy something.

For direct purchases at the store, it is easy to refuse the advice of the employees, I think it is not too difficult to do that.
In short, both have their pros and cons, as @savetheFORUM said, shopping for variety and making the right choice can save us time and money.

At the same time, it's worth noting that online shopping has its own benefits, it can be more convenient, time-saving, and can offer a wider range of products to choose from. In general, balancing between supporting local businesses might work for everyone and taking advantage of the convenience and variety of online shopping. It's also important to be mindful of one's own financial situation and to make informed decisions based on that.

Your intention is good but that would also depend on the choices of the buyer. If he is in a tight budget, then he will surely buy in a big grocery store wherein he can save some money, whereas buying in neighborhood and expect that their goods prices are higher compared to bigger grocery stores. But if it only means for some small amount, maybe a neighborhood store is a good place for that.
