After the crazy shopping experience I had at the mall the other day trying to buy some Lululemon Christmas presents, I have decided that I am going to do a lot more shopping online in the future. Here are five good reasons that I came up with to justify this rational.

1) Getting stuck in traffic on the way to the mall is a bummer. My number one problem with shopping is the inconvenience of going to the mall. It takes forever to get there and it seems every time I go traffic is backed-up. Purchasing your shopping online is just more convenient.

2) Trying to find a decent parking spot sucks. I hate trying to find a spot to park. The underground parking lot is almost always full and trying to find a spot on the street means you are going to have to walk at least five blocks. This reason ties in with the first one, going shopping is inconvenient compared to the ease of shopping online.

3) It seems like customer services at stores are getting worse. I would have to say that customer service is getting worse and worse every year. The people working in the stores now days are just dumb or slow because they can never answer your questions. And when they go to check if they have it in your size in the back, it takes them 15 minutes to check. This leads to the next reason.

4) Better selection Online. Plain and simple.   When you shop online there is a better selection. If one seller or online store doesn’t have what you are looking for, ten other sellers will. You can always find what you are looking for and you can always get it in your size. You may just have to wait a week or so for shipping but it is worth it when your package arrives and it is exactly what you wanted.

5) You can get good deals online. This is by far my favorite reason. If you shop around and try hard you can get really good deals online. I seem to get most of my amazing deals from eBay. If you want to save some money on your shopping, I would totally recommend doing your shopping on eBay. Also If you are new to eBay I recommend you read this article on where to buy lululemon online.
