traditional stores have to be available to visit the store during normal
business hours. This can be a major inconvenience especially for shoppers who
work long hours or shoppers who work odd hours. Online shopping eliminates this
concern because shoppers can simply access online stores from their computer or
mobile whenever they have free time available. Another convenience is the ability
to order products from around the world. Shoppers are no longer limited to
products offered by local retailers because the vast majority of online
retailers offer shipping to many different locations. This can make it easy for
online shoppers to acquire hard to find items or items which are available to a
particular area.
