Online Shopping:

Apparently online shopping is meant for the generation of 

"millennials" or rather the "net generation" that have always 

had access to the internet. I wonder if I can truly call myself a 

millennial If it took me 21 and something years to make my 

first online purchase? Or maybe just maybe this is the start of 

many more online purchases.

I wonder if you can relate to some of the following lists that 

you make up in your head - like I do- when considering an 

online purchase?

Things that scare me about online shopping: 

(Picture a scary man-eating computer with green skin)

1) Purchasing something that looks picture perfect and

    receiving something that um, isn't. 

2) Sizing. Sure we can buy and S, M , L but what if it doesn't fit?

    What are we supposed to do? Fit it on in our minds?

3) Delivery. Postal service strikes are a real thing in SA and so 

    getting your item on time or at all is probably one of the 

    most stressful things you can encounter.  

Things that made me shop online on Superbalist:

1) The ease and efficiency of the site.

2) I can literally shop anytime and at any place - confessions of

    a shopaholic.

3) The delivery system is private and does not go through a 

    postal service - my package arrived at my doorstep within 

    72 hours.

4) Lets face it, not everything can be found in physical stores.

5) Avoiding queues and incompetent store staff.

In conclusion I had the best online store experience with 

Superbalist where they countered everything that was a 

concern to me. The picture I saw and package I received 

was just the same standard I expected, which was 

great! Sizing was perfect as if I tried it on in store so that 

guarantees that I will buy the same size from them in future 

and be pleased with it. Delivery was super efficient. 

What do you guys think? I bought the perfect raincoat that can

be worn with any outfit. Truth be told I am so happy with my 

purchase that I keep hoping each day is rainy. 

Also, I think I have officially earned the title of millennial now 

and for that I am most pleased.
