In recent years, the landscape of shopping in Antigua and Barbuda has transformed dramatically, with online shopping becoming an integral part of residents’ daily lives.
Research indicates that a staggering 90% of the population actively engages in e-commerce, with popular platforms such as Amazon, Shein, Temu, Rainbow, and Children’s Place leading the charge.
Online Shopping has truly taken over our world! This is not just an Antigua n Barbuda thing! It’s worldwide. These online places are making more that the by shops
Is that the brown skin reporter? lol. I’m not going to lie, I love to shop online. Infact I prefer to shop online than walking the streets of St. John’s to shop. Yes this taken over our local economy but also be reminded, I’ll spend $30 buying something online than if I buy it here for like $190+
Girl lemme tell you! I would stay a whole day just shopping online. I swear there’s a package for me at Kess everytime
Such true words. Online shopping has been the thing of the world right now. People just sit and order. But that also calls for small businesses to be a little more lenient with their prices. I mean the things they order are on SHEIN as well.
Honestly, these local stores go to Panama and Guyana and shop and get cloths at low prices and come sell it to us for triple the amount. Also alot of Shien cloths on sale in stores for four times the amount. It is cheaper to just buy straight. We, the customers, have to pay for their rent, airfares, and attire when we buy a pair of short pants. Let me do my own online shopping. It is cheaper
Shopping online is much easier these days especially when the local shops wanna rip you off. They caused their own demise.
SO true. But alot of the local shops are depending on our ignorance so they charge high prices
The Syrians are the ones killing local businesses not us who choose to shop online. Truth about the matter is that these Syrian shops dont pay customs so they can sell things cheaper. The issue is at the ports
Since I got introduced to US mail box severalllll years ago I have been a sucker for online shopping.
