Although younger crowds are all about the world of online shopping, there are still quite a few old-timers, and others who are not so ready to make that switch. There are quite a few differences between high street (boutique, shop, retailer) shopping and online shopping. But, with this in mind, there are a few similarities for those who are resistant to make the switch over as well. 

  The similarities -
Of course there are certain similarities, and among these are:
- Both online and high street shopping affords customers the opportunity to choose from a wide range of brands/product lines.
- Customers can choose low end or higher quality, well known brand names.
- Customers can visit several retailers, in order to find the best deal possible. 

Apart from this, the differences are abundant. First off, online shopping is done from the comfort of your home. You can compare brands, prices, sites, and online catalogues. Additionally customers can choose from top name and lesser known brands. Customers don't have the opportunity to try items on prior to purchase, but most online merchants offer free shipping and returns. The biggest difference is the simple fact that online shopping does afford individuals who want to find the best deal imaginable, the opportunity to do just that. With so many retailers and catalogues making the switch to online sites, you have several different product lines, and can find nearly anything you were only able to buy through local shops and boutiques in years past. 

  Although there are some who are still resistant to turn the page over to Online Shopping, it has become a great option for those who love savings, selection, and freedom to shop at any time. With so many online catalogues, you do not have to compromise on quality or selection and can always find the best deals out there.
