    Online shopping has come a long way since the early years, so we'll just want to see what your plans are.

    If you voted "Yes ", please also indicate your favorite sites to shop (yes, I know this is only a small selection, there are way too many to list!).

    Sorry Arie, still an old head here. I rarely shop online and xmas prezzies should be picked personally by hand.

    I've voted no in case you hadn't guessed. Though I'm not adverse to browsing online for ideas.

    I am not planning on buying anything online because 1, I don't ned any items for myself and 2, if I were to buy something for my family or friends I will go to the store and buy it instead of shopping online since I don't have to wait for a package to arrive at my house and there is no shipping charge.

    Plus most of the stores in my area are within a few miles of each other so its actually rather convenient to shop at regular stores.

    I often buy on line, not just for the Christmas period.

    There is a big opening in Spain for anyone to open just a few places where you can buy any kind of product on line. Plenty of big manufacturers have a web site with information about there products but not a single one (that I have seen) sells anything on line. They are so in the dark ages:D

    I often order online - not only for Christmas but all year long. I usually only order if free shipping is available.

    Return policy is also important. I prefer either to be able to return to a local store or an offer of free return shipping. Rarely return an item, but nice to know I can return at no extra cost.

    One favorite I have for small electronic items on sale is http://www.buy.com. Have gotten some nice small things (chargers for iPhone, ear buds, etc.) for little cost with free shipping. One of the few emails I am willing to regularly receive from a shopping site.

    Yes... and in fact, my Christmas shopping (for all members of the family [immediate and extended]) is finished as of yesterday. It's a great sense of relief for me. My family is scattered around the world and were it not for online shopping, it would be very difficult to manage the Christmas season.

    90% of my shopping has been online. Only a few things in the stores.
