Every person in the world loves shopping; there are no two ways about it. Some day or the other you’ll have to shop, for yourself or for someone else and that’s when you start enjoying it. You won’t even know and you’d have gone through a couple of websites looking for something better than the last product or for a better price. Online shopping comes at a cost (obviously) but the cost here is, hours in front of your laptop and good concentration so that you don’t miss out on things. But there are always thoughts that go through your mind when shopping online!
Just remember, it’s not just you, it’s all of us.
#1 You want it ALL!
Yes, that’s the first thought in every person’s head when they start shopping online that gets them scrolling and clicking, making them open new tabs and bookmarking pages. We have all done that, and probably never ordered half of the stuff for two reasons: you forgot or you ran out of cash, so you cry to yourself in sleep, praying to God that you get your salary on time this month. Trust us, by the time your salary arrives, your list would have grown and how!

#2 Discount codes become your temporary new best friends!
The art of shopping online also includes using your best friends, and by that, we mean the precious discount coupons which help you grab whatever your eyes can catch a glimpse of. Discount coupons are the reason you know the shopaholic inside you, be thankful for that. But there are times when no coupon can help you and your world starts to fall apart. For such days, we recommend you keep your hopes high and your fingers crossed. You are not alone.

#3 That one thing you need (read: want) just went out of stock!
This is one of those reasons why you stopped believing in God. When that happens, you check other shopping websites hoping you will find what you’re looking for but with every time you scroll down, your heart begins to sink and you even leave your mail address so you’d be notified when the product is available again. Let’s face it, that’s a long shot and your hopes are dangling on a thin thread. Let it go, man.

#4 Fashion websites have everything but not your size.
The first site you log on to is most probably your favourite and when they do things like this to you, trust issues are born. You’d open a few tabs happily thinking, “I’m so buying this!” and when it comes to choosing sizes, all your efforts of clicking, raiding the website go to trash. But just because you’re a strong soul, you pick yourself up and you start looking again, this time another website! *almost teary*

#5 That big-ass sale has nothing for you in store.
Online stores obviously have insane amount of products and somehow, you don’t find or get what you’ve been searching for. And what you have on sale probably looks like you’d never use, wear or even recommend to someone. If you thought online shopping was easy and that too when sales are on, well, you couldn’t be more wrong!

#6 Delivery is going to take time, better order more stuff!
AND FINALLY! You got what you were looking for, be it the latest gadget or the coolest pair of loafers with the right size and most importantly at a price that didn’t make you scream. You have even placed the order and let’s just say you paid for it online. The problem arises when the delivery takes time. And you get paranoid like never before, probably more than when you were giving your boards (that says a lot about your priorities, but we aren’t judging). And just because you couldn’t handle waiting on your order, you order more stuff and there’s not even a logical reason for that, well, at least not one that many will understand *rolling eyes*.
