It is the excitement of getting a wrapped parcel in the post. A bit like getting a gift from Santa Claus although in this case you were actually the Santa Claus.
It still depends on what you're getting. For instance, if I need to get groceries, I would prefer to head down to the supermarket rather than shop on online platforms that requires me to minimally spend at least $50 to have free delivery. If you're getting fruits, you're not sure whether the picker will choose the freshest one for you. Another thing to note about this is that sometimes online does not have a specific item that I usually can find at stores, so it's not possible to spend 100% online at this moment.
I usually separate online shopping and physical shops into two categories. For online shops, mostly buy cheap electronics accessories, home decorating items, shoes(if you are certain with your size), bags, pet accessories/pet food, toiletries or shampoos that you can't find at your local pharmacies. For physical stores, obviously, any living thing like plants and pet fish/reptile/birds, clothes(because you get to try it out before purchase), workout tools, musical instruments, large expensive electronics, pc/laptop, smartphones, jewelry.
I like how they just dismiss cheaper electronics as refurbished goods. They don't want to mention parallel imports because that is the single biggest threat eating into their local profits. They can have amazing products pushed by the most strategic and effective ads but it doesn't matter if the item checked out from the cart is a parallel import. And as more ppl shop online, they stand to lose more sales revenue than ever.
CNA insider thank you very much for this channel😊 and it really help for us to educate and realize whats really happening in our society and what's behind the truth 😃
why online shopping? my answer:many items to choose than shopping outside going every shopping store.TIME IS GOLD..for someone like me who have one free day a week..online shopping help me buy things that i need with in a lesser time...
Missing: (1) A lot of the sale prices are not real! One store's 80% off is another store's regular price. Especially those phony flash sales. (2) A lot of fake products even with good reviews! Ex. External hard drive that's actually a usb drive inside (3) A lot of grey market items without local warranty because not imported through official channels. [This is the way it is in Indonesia. Maybe different in Singapore.]
It's the same here. There are such fake listings everywhere. They don't have to just sell to one market because the internet has no borders. The more people to cheat, the merrier. And you're right! This documentary glossed over so many more important things. It feels more like an advertorial. I think clicknetwork's recent video on e-commerce scams was better produced.
I wonder if anyone thought about the extra packaging and the delivery trucks going around singapore adding more carbon emission to the environment. I m striving to be a minimalist and not to buy things that I don’t need. After moving from 4 bedroom to 2 bedroom apartment to a better location, I started to declutter and realised I only need a few things to get on with life. Better buy more bonds and stocks that gives me returns than have tons of things at home that I might not need at all.
Yes it's true. I buy products I don't need and I didn't go to when I search for the item I am looking for. It makes me addicted and thought of new things to buy next time.
I agree during this pandemic I spend most of my time and money to buy online hahahahah. There are so much deals in Shopee I can’t help it. Somehow I learned to control myself because I need to save for the future.
Been spending online for a long long time. Covid didn’t do anything for me to increase shopping. Don’t need anymore office shoes or clothes or makeup. Don’t need to travel.
I decided to minimize buying online and eventually stop when the crew at this convenience store where i always get my parcel already memorize the last 3digits of my phone number. That's when i realized im spending too much in online shopping. It's much easier to click add to cart 😂.
I shop online because I cannot find a lot of the items that I want at physical stores like certain brands and it is a lot more convenient as the packages are mailed to me directly
Shopee is my favorite olshop, shopping is my favorite hobby, that guy is right. 😁 So far i hv bought abt 250-300 cloths. That's not include other products, almost each month I ordered 50 times. Everything, almost everything I buy online.
I got my braun series 9 shaver for $300 plus free electric toothbrush at Harvey norman. Official pages at lazada cost so much more even at sales. Best to shop around offline n online for more expensive stuff.
Since the lockdown, 90% of my daily needs have been acquired through online shopping. It’s scary when I calculate the total amount I have been spending 😂
I only buy what I need ... However , even enquired from Seller , still has glitches 😐😐😐 ! So Physical Store still so much better !!! All 5 Senses Can Be Used 🤣🤣🤣
Ninja Van Delivery is the worst company jn Sin. They are a real Blood sucker company. I hope all E-commerce company do not engage their service. Ninja Van warehouse staff throw your parcels and they will eventually push the blame to the seller or drivers.
Singapore Post is the worst delivery method for parcel or package that cannot fit in the letterbox.Please faster built the pick lockers than i no need to rely on pathethic Singapore Post door step delivery.Can singapore learn from japan post,one of the best door step delivery,i`m stuck in singapore cannot fly back home.
I don’t like shopping online. Some of my items I wasn’t impressed. At least at the store what you see is what you get. And I prefer cash for most of my purchases.
It's easy to search for items online instead of potentially walking in circles in physical stores
Its true, as a small business owner I prefer to buy my leather from online instead of going around the city and wasting the gas money
As well as compare prices from varies sources and save lots of time too
Who do you want to replace Lewis Hamilton at the Sakhir Grand Prix? 🤔

Exactly
The biggest pitfall of online shopping for me is that i ended up getting things I didn’t even think of buying :x

With camera: handling the packages with care
Without camera: just throwing the packages
Contactless delivery does not mean leave at the doorstep without any knock or ring the bell.
That does not happen to me
Ever since the lockdown, I am shopping online 80% of the time.
Slackila Ali me: 100%
Yes definitely more time and cost efficient buying online-just practice some self control to prevent buying extra stuff that you don’t need!
No one's comparing the environmental costs for both online and offline. There's definitely more packaging and single-use trash from online deliveries

You are getting good deals. But you are buying more. That's key!
Reading reviews and product descriptions, easy view of hundreds of products... Online wins it easy...

Sadly, NINJA VAN is one of the WORST couriers here in the Philippines.
Same here in indonesia
👍🏻

i bought bike rear light from the bike shop at $15, my friend bought the sane thing online for $3, I was devastated

if one is shopaholic, it doesn't matter. they will buy more than what's needed either offline or online.

I would definitely embrace both options :)
Online clothes, no. Since I prefer having fitting rooms to check for the perfect fit.

Wow horang kayahh. 😎
I think Amazon have saved my life this year 2020
Love shopping online and i totally agree on the diapers and wet wipes coz we do that too =)
I got my braun series 9 shaver for $300 plus free electric toothbrush at Harvey norman. Official pages at lazada cost so much more even at sales. Best to shop around offline n online for more expensive stuff.
since covid, i probably shopped online for 50 times now or more..
yes, i am 😂
Online can anytime purchase and wait for delivery
Unless urgent go stall buy
holy f*** yes. I can not stop online shopping. it's now an addicton
I look online for those things, which may never be found in Singapore
I think i bought 100% more than i need online.
Taobao is a game changer for me
Since the lockdown, 90% of my daily needs have been acquired through online shopping. It’s scary when I calculate the total amount I have been spending 😂
8:43 is the crux for online shopping
During this pandemic, my online shopping account actives again, and I shop 5 times a week in average for even something that I don't need.. duh...
supermarkets r doing same only earlier even in offline with online shopping now it has gone next level of addiction
Me watching this while putting in more items into my online shopping cart 👁🤳👁 .
The Tricks is only open those apps when you need to buy something online and before you pay it make sure to check your shopping list
Too many tricky, rip off sellers online. Also the prices aren't cheap anymore and you can't see if it is high quality or not
for online shopping, the total price is it include Shipping Cost?
i’m not sure about others but shopee is like that
BEWARE OF FAKE ONLINE SELLER IN BOTH PLATFORM Shopee & Lazada.
I only buy what I need ... However , even enquired from Seller , still has glitches 😐😐😐 ! So Physical Store still so much better !!! All 5 Senses Can Be Used 🤣🤣🤣
Yes..mostly Shopee😜
Ninja Van Delivery is the worst company jn Sin. They are a real Blood sucker company. I hope all E-commerce company do not engage their service.
Ninja Van warehouse staff throw your parcels and they will eventually push the blame to the seller or drivers.
Had lousy experience with them. Unfortunately I think quite a number of e-commerce companies engaged their services.
Online is dangerous, because you do not wear it comes from
I wonder who will be online shop on Black Friday or cyber Monday.......
It’s the soul for all generation
Love Shopee its the best!!!
Have we forgot the hijacked price tag in general?
being poor helps me buying only things i need
Two weeks? I can do it in a single afternoon
Tiger Wang? That's a first
My Taobao shipment flight delayed....
how is the expert an expert
I’m addicted to shopee here in my country Philippines.
In indonesia, there are three e commerce that you may get addicted: shopee, tokopedia, lazada
It is so insidious how they mine and track our personal data to sell us things we don’t need.
We need to ask, what's the agenda behind this show.
You left out the likelihood of getting counterfeit products and import sets that are not locally guaranteed. Tsk tsk, the amount of smoke strong.
Branded face serum could be fake.
erm, the comparison thou; will be better if both from the same brand
the comparison is not even right at all. they are not even comparing the same brand, specifications
Oh ada Ninja di singapura
Singapore Post is the worst delivery method for parcel or package that cannot fit in the letterbox.Please faster built the pick lockers than i no need to rely on pathethic Singapore Post door step delivery.Can singapore learn from japan post,one of the best door step delivery,i`m stuck in singapore cannot fly back home.
Emylin (Emily?) looks hella unfriendly.
The best advice from an "online shopping expert" is to use coupon codes and shopback?!
Shopback is real but only give you 1% to 5%.
Yep, Shopee ni berhantu.
Should move all things online. Landlords are a useless middleman collecting rent and raising prices of everything.
I don’t like shopping online. Some of my items I wasn’t impressed. At least at the store what you see is what you get. And I prefer cash for most of my purchases.
It's XIAOMI
Why do I see .. only one race or ethnic group asked or studied for shopping behaviour ?
Ninja van is crap. Worst courier ever
Hello Mr blood shot eye
I find steven reporting very honest and neutral. Good journalism among the sea of sponsored reporting
Well online shop got more varieties and more choices rather then on the actual shop and not to forget vouchers!! 😂😂
This Emily is quite chio yah
i hate ninja van 100% as many have commented below, no doubt im one of the haters! they just invade your privacy wo asking your permission!
I see more plastics coming to poor third world countries
