I am no stranger to the "Amazon Black Hole Of Shopping". Having Amazon Prime is such a blessing, and a curse. Just like everyone else I love shopping in the comfort of my own home, but there are some things that it's hard to buy when you're only shopping online for it.

1. You don't know for sure if a piece of clothing will fit.

I love shopping on ModCloth! They have so many dresses, accessories, and cute outfits. One thing that I don't like is that I don't get to be in a store and try on the dresses that I'm looking at. There are reviews for how the outfits fit other people, and yes those help but it's not the same as if you were to try on the outfit yourself. I have bought a dress from this website and it fits pretty well, but it's kind of a one-in-a million type thing.

2. You never know what the thing will look like in person.

Websites like Amazon make their products look as good as possible so more people will buy them. The pictures of these products look different from computer screen to computer screen so they could look completely different when you get a hold of it. Most products look just as they do when you purchase them from a website, but sometimes the colors could be muted or it could be the wrong size.

3. The product feels like it takes FOREVER to get to you.

Having Amazon Prime is such a great thing because it's free two day shipping, but not every item has prime shipping available. Even with prime shipping, sometimes I hate waiting the two days because I want my elephant mandala tapestry right now. This is another reason why I don't like shopping online because I am a very impatient person and waiting for something that I really want is a very difficult thing for me.

4. You can't actually get everything online.

Yes, you can get a lot of stuff from the internet, but sometimes you can't get everything your heart desires. Maybe there are little shops that don't have an Etsy story, a website, or maybe they only have that one storefront. Having something that you can't buy online could really help those types of stores because they are getting people to actually come into the store and look at their merchandise.

5. Things get expensive because you have to pay for shipping and handling.

Not every website is as great as Amazon with the whole prime thing. I wish they are were but most of them say that you have to spend a certain amount of money to get free shipping. Sometimes, I don't want to pay that much just to get free shipping. I'd much rather go to a store, pay that price, and not have to pay extra for them to send it to my house.

There are more pros than cons to online shopping. I just feel like there are some things that could get a little better with having to buy things online.
