Online shopping 2 - company level
I already wrote about the way I do my shopping online as a person. I usually spend more than half of my shopping budget on items that I buy from different websites.
Now I want to give another example of how online shopping works. I work in a company with 8 other young people. We have a pretty good IT infrastructure:
- 4 desktops and 5 laptops
- all connected through a wireless network
- fax, scanner, printer, etc.
All these items have been bought online through the biggest Romanian online IT e-shop: www.emag.ro
Besides this we also use online catering services. We usually order chinese food. But sometimes we might feel in the mood for something different and that's why we use www.culinar.ro to find other offers.
All the products are a lot cheaper and we don't need to waste our time: they are delivered to our office free of charge. This way we can be more productive and we don't have to waste our time with endless shopping trips.

Online shopping
I am a big fan of shopping. I like to buy things.
But I hate traveling from one store to another. Hey... I even hate walking inside the big stores sometimes.
That's why I started to buy online. Because I can find anything I want in one place without even having to walk 10 meters. Hey... I don't even have to get out of home.
Unfortunately online shops are not very developed in Romania. But... as Romanian Internet users are very ingenious ... they found a nice solution for this. It is called okazii: www.okazii.ro
I started using this site about one year ago. In one year I bought from okazii or other online shpos:
- a laptop and everything to go with it: laptop bag, mouse, webcam, headset, etc.
- a jacuzzi machine
- about a dozen books
- super cool sport clothes and sport shoes (I am an NBA fan)
- 3 Mp3 players (I gave 2 of them as a gift)
- a photo camera and a memory card
- 2 mobile phones with all the necessary things (memory card, hands-free, etc.)
- I bought online the plane tickets for all my internal and external flights
- and many many other things
More than half of my non-food shopping in last year was done online.
There are plenty of reasons to shop online:
- you don't have to run from one shop to another
- you have a bigger and more diverse offer
- you can make better comparison between the product/services you want to buy
- you can ask other users for neutral opinions about the product before buying it
- most of the time you can find online products that you cannot find elsewhere
- most of the tings are cheaper and better
- if you did not find anything in the shops you already knew you have to return home empty-handed. Online you can always look for new shops very easy. Just google it :)
It's still almost impossible to buy your groceries online for now... but for the hi-tech and other non-food products, online shopping will be the best solution for more and more people.
Generation .ro is already shopping online! What are YOU waiting for?
