Do you like to buy toys online?

[Steve5]

I do love toys and I don't buy on any onlinr stores because I dont want to be scammed by fake manufacturers. I prefer buying toys by myself at any merchant toy stores. I want to ensure it's quality and price. Online stores are good but some of them are scam or fraud sites. I saw so many news about fake toys from China and contains LED which is not good for health.

I empathize with you on this one. There are also potential health risks with toys that are bought online. This is why it's so much better to buy offline if you're cautious of your children's safety.

There are advantages and disadvantages in buying online than buying in a physical store. If you are going to buy on online, you can't see its eligibility or even run a test if the toys are working but there are times that buying it on online can give you discounts since they always have promos.

I haven't tried buying toys online, I prefer that I could check the actual item first before buying it to check if the item is actually in good condition no missing parts and limits the hassle of being scammed. also I often find the online purchased toys are often expensive the actually buying from a toy stores.

 

[Steve5]

I do like browsing a toy shop but I do not buy toys online. I prefer to go in a real shop with my child and he will pick up the toy he wants, he has the chance to try the toy and change his mind if he wants to.

That's nice. Children often change their minds about they want. So it's probably best to let them pick out stuff on their own. That way, they'll be sure on what toys the want to keep.

 

[Steve5]

Well, I always consider buying stuffs from online as long as they have physical stores or I can have the item upon meet up. But if it's via shipping, I don't bother doing transaction at all. A lot of bogus sellers is proliferated nowadays. Be cautious when buying something online.

I understand where you're coming from. Lots of users have been scammed by seedy sellers and defective items. That's why we should buy at our own risk online.

 

[Steve5]

Yes, I like buying toys online. Because it's hassle free, and there are online shops who offers free shipping. There are also a lot of stuffs/toys online that is cheaper, compared to the Mall. I bought toys or other stuffs to the trusted online shops and that has a Cash On Delivery option.

Who doesn't like cash on delivery? It's probably the most convenient means of buying stuff online. You just order your toys and pay them once you get it. Definitely a plus for online retailers.

 

[Steve5]

I don't buy toys online as I personally would like to check the appearance and size of the toy in actual to be sure that I'm spending money on something I'd actually be proud to be part of my collection.

Oh, so you're a collector. It's probably for the best that you buy them offline. Quality is the most important thing for toy collectors. That way you can preserve the quality of your items.

 

[Steve5]

Well it depends on what kind of toys I want to buy. Because there are some toys that is not available from where I have come from, so buying it online would be the best way to to do it. Most of the stuff I buy online are parts for my RC cars and I also bought almost all of my drones online. Sometimes buying online might be a pain of the ass but I still find it advantageous if you buy some of your stuff online because of the ease you get when you are buying online.

True! Some items are really difficult to locate in physical stores. This is why many resort to buying offline. You can find specific rare items that can't be bought in malls and stores.

 

[Henrywrites]

I agree. I find that most toys have discounts online. Unlike physical stores, there are seldom discounts except for the ones on sale. And it's usually not the toys you want.

Discounts that we get from getting toys online are always huge and I know that it is all because of the way they try to market the products that they sell. I don't see anything wrong with that as long as you yet the toys that you want from the online stores.

 

[Steve5]

Buying toys online is very convenient specially on the holidays where everyone is busy. When you have a little free time to do shopping, you can use online just to save some time and stress. Also its a great way to avoid traffic specially on holidays! But of course you have to be careful in purchasing online, there's a lot of things you have to consider like size, material, weight and warranty. Also be careful about giving your personal banking information. I recommend a COD payment method for safety purposes.

Yes, the holidays make buying toys really inconvenient. That's why people decide to make use of online shopping. You don't have to wrestle for a spot in the long lines. I also love using cash on delivery. It's the best way to ensure you're getting the product you ordered.

 

[Steve5]

Choosing online shops that offer a Cash on Delivery set up is a great option to choose. You can somehow make sure about the quality and legibility of the items that you are purchasing online as you can easily decline it upon delivery if it doesn't fit with the description posted online.

I've seen online sellers that make great use of it. This gives the customers a chance to properly evaluate the quality of the items they receive. They can simply pay once they're satisfied with the item delivered.

 

[Steve5]

I really like toys but I am not fan of buying them online because you cannot actually see it or even test its efficiency and reliability. I think I would love to buy toys through stall or in malls where in I can actually see and feel it, because it is very time consuming if I will buy online because sometimes it takes much time before it arrived and if it has some defects then that would be another waiting time for you that is why I would really choose having it anywhere else in the market.for safety and protection purposes also.

That's why I usually shop for toys offline if they're really valuable. It's important for me to get the quality of the items. Most of my friends have kids that are picky when it comes to their toys.

 

[Steve5]

Yeah, specially if my nephew request and really eager to have the toys. Much better for me to buy online instead of going to the mall with him. It helps me to save a lot, because if I'm going to mall with him, I know exactly what will happen, I will lose my salary for toys.

That's funny. What a wise decision! I'm sure many of us can relate to losing all our salary for special and expensive toys. You just can't say no to these kids.

 

[Steve5]

Yeah, especially since some of the toys I really want aren't available anywhere near my location. However, I really make sure that the seller is reliable before ordering. If there's even a little doubt that the toy isn't of good quality, I won't bother to order even if I really want it. This is for purchasing toys for my collection. If I'm buying them just as a gift, I tend to be more forgiving when it comes to quality.

I'll probably be as cautious if it were to be given as gifts. No one likes sub-par quality items. So I always make sure to test them out before giving them to loved ones.

You're right, he will surely cry inside the mall and will not stop until he didn't get what he want. Buying toys online sometimes looks like a surprise gift for kids, because they never know what inside the package.

 

[acefunko001]

I buy a lot of things online and I don't see anything wrong with it. It's actually a novel thing when one can browse so many choices and categories of toys and buy it right there and then. But we have to be cautious at times because there are cases when a product can be misrepresented. Like the toy may look big but is actually small; or look sturdy but really of inferior material once it's delivered. Double checking the item by reading customer reviews or watching a YouTube demo can also be very helpful.

 

[treecko142]

I'll probably be as cautious if it were to be given as gifts. No one likes sub-par quality items. So I always make sure to test them out before giving them to loved ones.

Yeah, I meant that the quality is still good with no defects but not the very high-quality ones when I'm just giving them just for my young nephews or nieces who can just destroy the toy after a while.

 

[RoseKaizer]

Scrolling into shop online is fun ajd interesting especially when it is gadget or toys, sometimes I ask myself what if ill buy this online? But as for me, I don't do buy toys online, why? Because what important to me is whenever I want to buy a toys or even gadget, I want to see it by my eyes, I can hold it and check it before ill buy it.

 

[MittensFX]

I honestly never bought toys online except for a remote controlled toy plane which I bought for my sisters son.It made him really happy to control that plane in the air.It wasn't cheap but its an ''expensive'' toy if you ask me.

 

[Steve5]

Yeah, I meant that the quality is still good with no defects but not the very high-quality ones when I'm just giving them just for my young nephews or nieces who can just destroy the toy after a while.

Oh, I see. Well, that does happen. I'd probably consider buying sturdier toys instead of the fancy ones for kids to play with. Is it just me or do more adults own fancy collector's items than actual children?

 

[Steve5]

You're right, he will surely cry inside the mall and will not stop until he didn't get what he want. Buying toys online sometimes looks like a surprise gift for kids, because they never know what inside the package.

True! It feels like Christmas for them. They want to go ahead and tear the nice looking wrapper to pieces. And then they feel awesome after opening their surprise presents.
