Why would anyone buy instore!?

1. I tried on a coat at A-wear, didn't have my student card with me for discount and they wouldn't give it to me, so I left it and went online.
- free postage code
- cashback with quidco
- 10% off code

2. Clarks, tried on shoes instore to ensure sizing, then went online.
- Cashback
- free postage
- online exclusive colours

3. Ebay
- if you search private sellers for clothing, bargain central, just got a rather attractive NEXT dress for 2.98 in excellent condition. It's been a long time since I got such a good bargain off Ebay, had half given up because it's so saturated with business sellers.

Some people may need it there and then, no time to wait for delivery time.
Some places dont offer free postage until you hit a X spend threshold, so potentially lose out on £2- £5 P&P costs then going out to buy it.

i always go instore first, then see if i can find the one online. it is always cheaper when you purchase online.

If everyone goes into the shops to try on and then buys on line there won't be any shops trading in a short time. I prefer to shop for clothes on the high street as I have had so many bad experiences with ebay and like to try on and see the fabric before I part with my cash.

I know what you mean, sometimes I go to the shops and wonder why I bother?! They either don't have what I want or they have it at a ridiculous price :eek:. In alot of cases shopping online is so much easier and cheaper :T.

Although I normally buy my clothes instore as I need to try them on first.
