I think that shopping online has it's upsides and downsides. One of the upsides being that its cheaper; one of the downsides being it is more risky to use a credit card online. On the other hand, going to the store seems to be more beneficial in my case. It has no shipping time for purchases. In addition you are able to see and touch the object before you buy it. In conclusion, both sides have upsides and downsides; I guess the main decision factor for your location of purchase is the object you want to purchase.
