    I like to do online shopping very much. It is very easy to buy and it will be delivered at home.

    The government said online shopping is hurting the retail business so they're looking into some way of putting sales tax and or G.S.T. on it, with a fair bit of pressure from The Retail Association bit too difficult ATM but they said there's sure to be a way of doing it, the saving in money is a plus but with a lot of people it's the convenience as well.

    Re: Online shopping the reason

    Just been on our news tonight about how many of us are doing our shopping on line this year. But it also said that because of our poor economic climate,shops are having mammoth sales,so the winner, price wise, could be the ones who go out to the shops,as shops discount their instore wares to less than internet prices.
