    Most of things I purchase from online sites. I think online sites have all products for the consumers even they also sell fruits, vegetables, etc. There is not only one option of online stores if the stock is over at one shopping site so it can be purchased from another one.

    I will not buy clothes and shoes online, because I'm afraid that since I can't sample how the clothes or shoes fit my body, then I might end up buying one that's too large or small for me despite the stated size. So I would rather just purchase those things from a real walk in store.

    A car is definitely something I wouldn't consider buying online. Before purchasing an automobile I would want to first be able to see it, and even test drive it. Maybe even have a mechanic look it over if that's permitted. So, this is definitely an item I wouldn't buy online. Another item I would think twice about purchasing online is a house. This may sound like a silly thing to say, but believe it or not there are homes being sold online. In fact, my news recently ran a story about a woman who was taken in a deal believing she was buying a house online, but turned out not to be for sell.

    I don't buy jeans online. Most of the time, I have to return it as sizes and length aren't all the same. If I want to buy jeans, I would always prefer to go to a shop and fit the jeans first.

    I'm with you on that one. I don't care how precise the measurements are, I need to try on a pair of shoes before I buy them. Not only is there a risk that they won't fit properly, but they could just be generally uncomfortable, rigid, difficult to walk in, etc.

    Shoes especially high heels. Would not bother to return if it doesn't wear comfortable. Actually it often happens.

    I buy a lot of stuff online but never clothing. I prefer shopping at a store for clothing, that way I can feel the fabric and get to know the item of clothing before I purchase it. So, for me it would be clothing that I would not buy online...including shoes!

    Yes, this is a really good point to bring up because if we have the option of returning it back without any shipping costs then I think I would buy pretty much anything online. It just seems like there would be o risk so if you don't like the item that you received, then you can return the item back the same day without paying anything extra.

    I would buy fruits and vegetables online. I think the delivery service offered by some of the supermarkets is very good. Asda deliver for around £3 and I think that is very reasonable considering the rising cost of petrol.
