Department stores and mail-order catalogues
There are two different stores where we can buy our goods. One is department stores, and the other is mail-order catalogues. Department stores have to build a large building and call many kinds of manufacturers together there. Nevertheless, mail-order just only put shopping lists on the Internet or paper. There are three different points: shopping time, fitting, touching and feeling of merchandise.
With regard to shopping time, mail-order catalogues are more abstemious than department stores. On the Internet, we can buy many categories of merchandise and then you just sitting on your sofa as well as operating your computer. On the other hand, you have to go out for shopping to the department stores.
On personal service aspects, mail-order catalogues differ from department stores. Unlike department stores, which give customers fitting room service and let them to know if the clothes fit or not, mail-order catalogues don't provide the service of this kind. Moreover, mail-order catalogues provide us with immediate information about clothes.
Despite the fact of that mail-order catalogues are very convenient, you can't touch and feel the merchandise when you buy it. In contrast, in department stores customers can touch, fit, feel, eat and watch the products even though they won't buy them.
Although mail-order catalogues have the advantage of convenience for customers, they can't ensure that the quality of merchandise while they want to buy. Furthermore, we could buy the second-hand goods. Based on the different mentioned above, I prefer department stores because I can try on the clothes before I buy them.
