I don't understand people who buy groceries online. Especially produce. I actually love going to the grocery store though

Produce is a good one. Other groceries are expensive for delivery but I’ll do that once in a while if crunched for time. But other than maybe bananas, no produce.

I had to buy produce online for grocery delivery when we had Covid and couldn't go to the store. My bananas looked like they took a beating & the cucumber was near death. Won't ever do that again.

Clothes.
There have been too many times I've seen an outfit that looked good on a mannequin, only to have picked up, tried on, or let alone just simply touched the fabric, and found that it's gross (twill), or ill-fitting (US sizes are for big people).

I've recently discovered I also want to see home lighting in real life also, because you cant tell how bright the bulbs are/how big it really is.

Ditto. I never buy clothes online. AND SHOES. They all look good in the pictures, but it's a totally different story when I try it on. Bought a few times buying clothes and shoes online only to be disappointed.

Never again will I ever buy those online haha

You're super right about that.
Shoes have 3 different sizes, and some manufactures switch up the sizes depending on the country.

It's lame.

Home delivery might be okay but I'd rather drive to the grocery and save.

Sunglasses. Got creative with my shades purchase. Learned the measurements/sizing, then measured a pair that I liked how they fit. Still had to have them sized for a perfect fit, but avoid buying pricey sunglasses online, unless you know how they fit.

And here I thought Amazon was for random free duplicate purchases , at least that's what my friend told me.

My friend had his son order an item (since Prime) Said item was received and put into use. Approximately 3 weeks later, my friend got another of that same item, drop shipped from China, but no billing was incurred. Friend is saving said duplicate item for a Christmas present to another individual.

Since seeing this thread, I've been trying to come up with something that I wouldn't buy off the internet. Bears. I wouldn't buy a bear period, so I definitely would not buy a bear from the internet. It would surprise a great many of you at the things I have procured from our beloved interwebs......even more of a surprise would be the things that I got for free. That dark web ain't so bad.

Nope, no eggs ordered and then delivered to my home. I want to SEE the eggs I'm buying. You know, like opening the carton and checking to make sure none of the eggs are damaged or not up to par.
