What's Your Online vs In-Store Shopping Personality? Take the Quiz

1. It's Saturday morning and you need a new pair of shoes. What's your first move?

Open a shopping app and start filtering by size and style

Head to your favourite shoe store to try some on

Look online first, then visit a store if nothing grabs you

Realise your old shoes are probably fine for another month

2. How do you feel about waiting for a delivery?

I love the anticipation — it's like a gift to future me!

I hate waiting — I want it now, which is why I shop in-store

It depends on the item — some things are worth the wait

I avoid shopping altogether so delivery is rarely a concern

3. What do you think about customer reviews?

I read every single one before buying anything

I'd rather just try the product myself in person

I skim a few reviews, then go check it out in store

I barely read them — I just grab whatever and move on

4. How do you handle a crowded shopping centre?

I avoid it entirely — that's what the internet is for

I love the buzz! It makes shopping feel exciting

I go early or late to dodge the worst of it

It's my worst nightmare — I leave immediately

5. You find an item you love online but it's cheaper in a nearby store. What do you do?

Check if the online store will price match, then order online

Head straight to the store — cheaper AND I get it today!

Go to the store, try it, and buy whichever is cheapest overall

Overthink it until I decide I don't need it anyway

6. What's your relationship with shopping carts (online or physical trolley)?

My online cart is always overflowing with saved items

I love filling a real trolley — it feels satisfying

I use both depending on what I'm shopping for

I grab a basket, get what I need, and leave fast

7. How do you feel about trying on clothes before buying?

I just order multiple sizes and return what doesn't fit

Absolutely essential — I never buy without trying first

I try in-store but sometimes order online if sold out

I buy the same brands I know so I don't have to think about it

8. What's your go-to move during a big sale event like Black Friday?

I've had items in my cart for weeks waiting for the discount

I queue up early and enjoy the in-store chaos

I compare deals across online and physical stores strategically

I ignore it — sales make me anxious and I rarely need anything

9. How do you discover new products you didn't know you wanted?

Through social media ads, influencers, and recommendation algorithms

By wandering through stores and stumbling upon things

A mix of both — I love discovery no matter where it happens

I don't really — I only buy what I specifically need

10. A friend asks you to go shopping with them. How do you feel?

I suggest we shop online together from our respective couches

Yes! Shopping with friends is one of my favourite activities

Sure, as long as we have a plan and know what we're looking for

I'd rather not, but I'll go to be a good friend

11. How do you handle a product that doesn't meet your expectations?

I initiate a return online and leave an honest review

I take it back to the store and speak to someone directly

I return it whichever way is easiest — online or in-store

I usually just keep it to avoid the hassle of returning

12. What matters most to you when making a purchase?

Getting the best price with the most convenience

Seeing, touching, and experiencing the product before buying

Making the smartest decision using all available information

Getting it done quickly with minimal effort

13. How do you feel about loyalty programmes and reward points?

I'm signed up to every online rewards programme I can find

I love collecting stamps and points at my favourite stores

I use them wherever they offer the best value, online or off

I never bother — too much effort to track

14. What does your ideal shopping experience look like?

Pyjamas, laptop, a hot drink, and free next-day delivery

A full day out exploring shops, cafes, and finding hidden gems

A well-planned trip that combines online research with store visits

A quick, focused errand that's over in under 20 minutes

15. How do you react when a website or store doesn't have what you want?

I open five other browser tabs and find it elsewhere online instantly

I ask a staff member if they can order it in or check another branch

I check online while standing in the store to find the best option

I take it as a sign I didn't really need it and move on
