Title: Buying Online
Post by: Jane on May 10, 2007, 10:54:01 AM
What have you bought online?

Our household has bought everything from cars (two cars) through to our cat.  Navman GPS hand-held and PDAs and clothing and books.  Thousands of books.  Timber, too.  Postage bags and book covering plastic.  Car parts and a dishwasher. Travel and a tv.  Bedspreads, most recently.

(Perhaps I just love things turning up at the door!)

No groceries.  Has anybody bought groceries online?

e-bay - I love e-bay.  I just got a whole load of books sent to me.

Computer bits and pieces

Not yet got to the point of ordering food from the supermarket yet - I've ordered flowers deliverd to someone from there though

I have yet to buy anything from the internet, mostly because I don't have a paypal account or credit card (both of which sound dangerous to me...)  Although eventually I will order food from Costco online since that is the only way I can get American food and they deliver right to my house here in Japan :D

Books. Occasionally DVDs. I also do quite a bit of gift shopping online (Amazon wish lists are wonderful!). My computer.

I've never bought clothing online, but have been looking and contemplating.

Books, DVDs, GPS, stereo equipemnt, clothing, shoes, glassware, silverware, wine, cheese, specialty foods, art, toys, therapy supplies, computer related items, antiques, jewelry, bedding, event tickets, airplane tickets, baby items, ....I could go on and on!  

Looking back at what other people have listed...I have not bought medicine, a car, or a pet.  

And I agree with Emma, Ebay is my friend!

Knitting yarn (hard to come by otherwise= thank god for webshops!)
Sometimes clothes, 'cause I don't have time to shop.
Hubby orders books from Amazon almost regularily and has bought a gps-car navigator and other electronic stuff from web. He does more web-shopping than I.

Nothing.  Though my dad buys a thing or two from e-bay every now and again.  I prefer to have my transactions done in person.

Books of varying kinds, computer games, computer parts, computers, clothing, and more. My debit card functions as a credit card so I use that plus PayPal to take care of things. My old county didn't have any "big" good stores like Barnes and Noble or Best Buy in the entire COUNTY, so I had to buy online or get someone to take me on a 45 minute drive, so if I wanted games or books or parts the internet was my friend. New Brunswick doesn't have any big stores that you can get to without a car, so I'm in the same boat.

If I could drive/had stores with what I need, I'd probably get things at stores more, but I can't and there aren't, so the internet is my source for all but food. (And I even get my almond milk online!)

Books, Clothes - I bought the dress I wore to my fiance's brother's wedding online, shoes too. Umm... video games, movies, bedding, gifts, furniture, art supplies - lots and lots of art supplies. Not groceries though, we at least have a Safeway and Walmart. Lol.

Since I live in the middle of the desert, there isn't much for shopping around here. There is a mall, but it has none of the stores I shop and the department  store are about a quarter of the size as most. So, I sort of have to shop online... or drive 4 and half hours for decent stores.
