Online Shopping

[Gunn2025]

So I am wondering what kind of things people are wanting from an online store. Seriously, what makes one online store better than another? Please leave some feedback on what you think is the best for an online store.

Generally speaking, ample stock and competitive pricing are what I look for on online stores; for toy stores specifically, having a "pile of loot" option is always a very welcome and nice bonus.

1) Competitive pricing

2) S&H Price & Speed


Biggest thing i look is which online store usually gets their preorders in stock first? I hate waiting too long.

That's pretty much all i look for.

Most comic/hobby stores around here don't bring in stock like online stores have, also I've found online prices even with shipping are cheaper than trying to aquire items through a local retailer.

Pile of loot options rule too.

For me all I care about is cost and availability compared to local retailers. Nothing else matters.
Oh and I can build you an online store if you're looking for a developer.

dont care too much about pre-ordering myself, but a good hearty stock with mass market stuff and some special products like device labels and revoltech. and i want it to be less than retail with shipping because i want to make shopping online worth it. i dont mind paying a little more than retail with shipping, but it depends if the product is good.

Oh, and customer service needs to be top notch. just because you dont see the customers face, doesnt mean they dont exist. I want speedy answers to questions and concerns.

i could have said all of the above in one word "automaton"

Good stock, fair prices and reasonable shipping.

-no costly shipping(for a deluxe TF should not be around $10)
-decent pricing(not to far than terail's)
-orginized site links to find product that are categorized
-stay connected with customers with facebook, twitter, etc.
-give a spicific preorder date rather than just the month of release
