On the one hand, you are right that some merchants went bankrupt and this is certainly very bad, but the progress that we so wanted so much is to some extent to blame. The ability to order goods without leaving home is cool, it saves you time and sometimes even money, which is why people are increasingly choosing the opportunity to shop online. So I went to a large store to buy a synthesizer for my child, and it turned out that it simply wasn’t in stores. And I had to go home and order it online. And believe me, this happens so often now. Then why should I waste time and money on a trip to the store when they don't have what I need? This is just one example. But I want to reassure you, there are still many people who buy goods in real stores and markets.
what you say is true. other than that the items we want don't exist and it's a waste of time traveling from home to the store. there are other things that make online shopping a lot of interest.
As happened to me, I found an item at an online shop in the same city but couldn't serve it offline. After searching, I found the offline store, but the prices there were all more expensive than those online.
a little confused even though online you have to pack and have to pay for the courier too. What's the difference in management? what's the difference in taxes? Is this a strategy for eliminating offline stores? Those who know can answer yes.
Traveling still has its own benefits too. I am not talking about riding a vehicle but when we simply walk. We can burn some extra calories this way which is good for our body. People shouldn't be lazy and rely all to online because it can also cause a health problem in the long run.
I think the reason why items on offline shops are a little expensive is because they pay a rent for that place. They do also have other expenses like water bills, electricity, personnels, etc. but this all can be avoided if the setup is only online. Yes, they can pay for the courier but they can save a lot if the items that will be delivered are in bulk. This isn't a strategy to eliminate offline stores. That's crazy.
