For example, you can’t feel the clothes with hands, know the texture or measure it with your experiences. You cannot try products like wearing clothes in regular shops. However, a good thing is specifications are mentioned in Online Shopping Sites.
  2. Since you will be paying cash online, there might be chances of frauds. So, always buy from the trusted sites or at least you had previously done shopping with you.
