Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets? Fed
up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought? Angry at wasting
time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at
the store? If this is you, then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of
trouble-free shopping, or is it?
Online shopping brings its own challenges. Here
are a few things to bear in mind when browsing (浏览) various websites. The claim (声称) made by online sites is that shopping online is a safe and secure way
to make purchases. The evidence challenges this. In any case, you only have to be
the victim of fraud (欺骗) once to experience all the problems
that come with this form of deceiving. Use only sites that have a trusted history
and an excellent reputation.
Another problem is that the appearance of items
in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen. This
might not be a problem if you are buying washing powder but could be a major disappointment
when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green. Also, product descriptions
are sometimes simply untrue! Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where
design and colour are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly
contributes to global warming. Yes, your car can stay parked but how are online
goods delivered? Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) and adding to our
already desperate traffic problems. You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated(烦恼的) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave
from work to receive it!
