As much as we love a stroll around the shops, Team Her.ie are firm fans of shopping online, and here are some of our top reasons why...

No ‘Sale’ Surprises
That sinking feeling when you buy something, then three shops later see an identical top/dress/bag for a cheaper price. If you’re treating yourself online, there’s no trekking from street to street to be sure, it’s simply browsing tab to tab to make sure you’re getting the best bargain prices!
You can shop designer without getting dressed up
You know, those higher end department stores where you feel like you should dress up just to be surrounded by those uber-expensive clothes and shoes? No more! Whether you’re splurging a tenner or a thousand, you can buy Prada while in your Primark, and nobody knows!
Signed, sealed delivered!
No shoving your purchases into a crammed boot. No queuing to get out of a packed shopping centre car park. No bus that leaves you waiting in the cold then finally arrives for you to see that there’s no seat and you’ll be standing all the way home. Nope, all of your purchases will be winging there way to you, hassle-free, the second you switch off the computer. The only flaw in this plan was always missing the delivery and having to head to the postal depot. Not any more! With Parcel Motel you can get your purchases delivered to a location that’s convenient to you, and you can pick them up whenever you choose!

Supplies are at your fingertips
That point in the shopping day where the centres are becoming completely overcrowded, you haven’t managed to find even one of the dresses you liked in your size and after going at it hard for a few hours you’d kill for a cup of tea. Then you head into the café and the queue is about twenty people deep. Not a home, the kettle’s practically at your fingertips! And don’t even get us started on when you need to pee…
All of the bags, none of the baggage…
It’s a sign of a successful day’s shopping when you are laden down with bags. For about five minutes, then it's a giant pain in the behind. You’re banging off everyone around you, you can’t keep one hand free to browse with out feeling like the ‘carry’ hand is about to drop off and you start to feel hot and bothered. This puts a serious halt to your progress. Not so online, you can shop until your Internet connection drops!
