Lindsay / United States
speaker Yes, I've bought many things online. This year, I bought all of my family's Christmas presents online. I bought my mother a calendar, and I bought my father a golf bag online. And I bought my sister a gift certificate 1 to an American store, because she wants to buy a new suit.
 
Paul / England 
speaker I'm an avid 2 record collector, vinyl record collector. I often use internet shopping sites to purchase rare and difficult-to-find records. It offers a huge range and access to records that often record shops do not have, or you have to wait for them to come into stock 3. So, I find it opens up a whole world of options.
 
Gareth / England
speaker I've bought stuff 4 from Amazon before, and just mostly books and DVDs and stuff like that, and it was really convenient. I could click online, and it got sent to my door, and I paid on delivery 5. So, yeah, it was really easy.
 
Sarah / England 
speaker I tend to do more of my shopping online, including my food shopping, generally because it saves time and normally 6 saves money. I've always gotten with online shopping; I've never really had a problem with it. Even when you want to return something, it's always really good.
 
Shifani / New Zealand
speaker Yes, I have bought quite a few things online, actually. I use Trade Me quite a lot, where you can buy items, used or new, from other users 7. So, I've bought computer software, I've bought a computer, I've bought a camera, I've even bought shoes and jackets, and have been satisfied every single time.
 
Warren / Canada
speaker Yeah, I actually quite often buy things from the internet. The last thing I bought was a table, actually. I was quite surprised; I've never bought anything that large before. I actually just ordered it and it hasn't arrived yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing how easily they can deliver that.
 
Adria / United States 
speaker Yes. Actually, my boyfriend is a computer engineer, and because of that, he likes a lot of gadgets 8, so I go to a website and get him some kind of geeky little trinkets for him for birthdays and Christmas.
