Things you wouldn't buy on the internet

I don't understand people who buy groceries online. Especially produce. I actually love going to the grocery store though

Produce is a good one. Other groceries are expensive for delivery but I’ll do that once in a while if crunched for time. But other than maybe bananas, no produce.

I had to buy produce online for grocery delivery when we had Covid and couldn't go to the store. My bananas looked like they took a beating & the cucumber was near death. Won't ever do that again.

Clothes.
There have been too many times I've seen an outfit that looked good on a mannequin, only to have picked up, tried on, or let alone just simply touched the fabric, and found that it's gross (twill), or ill-fitting (US sizes are for big people).

I've recently discovered I also want to see home lighting in real life also, because you cant tell how bright the bulbs are/how big it really is.

Ditto. I never buy clothes online. AND SHOES. They all look good in the pictures, but it's a totally different story when I try it on. Bought a few times buying clothes and shoes online only to be disappointed.

Never again will I ever buy those online haha

You're super right about that.
Shoes have 3 different sizes, and some manufactures switch up the sizes depending on the country.

It's lame.

Schwann's came by last night! Got pepper bacon, chicken with broc/cheese, asparagus, and vanilla ice cream. I told them about this discussion and they laughed.

Home delivery might be okay but I'd rather drive to the grocery and save.

King Rudi · 11-04-2021, 12:47 PM

Sunglasses. Got creative with my shades purchase. Learned the measurements/sizing, then measured a pair that I liked how they fit. Still had to have them sized for a perfect fit, but avoid buying pricey sunglasses online, unless you know how they fit.

TiMSport · 11-04-2021, 01:11 PM

Yeah but that's what Amazon is for. Free returns.

And here I thought Amazon was for random free duplicate purchases

, at least that's what my friend told me.

My friend had his son order an item (since Prime) Said item was received and put into use. Approximately 3 weeks later, my friend got another of that same item, drop shipped from China, but no billing was incurred. Friend is saving said duplicate item for a Christmas present to another individual.

Since seeing this thread, I've been trying to come up with something that I wouldn't buy off the internet. Bears. I wouldn't buy a bear period, so I definitely would not buy a bear from the internet. It would surprise a great many of you at the things I have procured from our beloved interwebs......even more of a surprise would be the things that I got for free. That dark web ain't so bad.

Nope, no eggs ordered and then delivered to my home. I want to SEE the eggs I'm buying. You know, like opening the carton and checking to make sure none of the eggs are damaged or not up to par.
