Compare and Contrast- Draft Two

Department Stores V.S. Mail-order


Along with more and more convenient to Internet, people can shop not only in the department stores but also on the Internet. Shopping on the Internet has many advantages, but I still like to shop in the department stores. The following essay will compare department stores with mail-order catalogues in three different points: fit or not, touch and feel the merchandise, and offer good after-sale service.


When you buy the clothes, you would like them not only to make you look good but also to fit your body. In the department stores, you can try on every clothes which you want to buy until you pay for it. However, the shopping webs don’t offer this kind of service. Customers might buy the clothes in wrong size but they can’t change it. Therefore, you will waste your money to buy unsuitable clothes.


Besides, you will also want to know whether the material of clothes is good or not. Some kind of material of clothes didn’t feel good and might make you feel uncomfortable. Therefore, it is important that you feel and touch the material of clothes before you buy them. The shopping webs only offer visual service but not tactual service. Maybe the picture of the clothes looks good, but pictures can’t show that the material is good or not.


Final, department stores can give well after-sale service which mail-order can’t offer. If you want to change the clothes you don’t like or don’t fit you, you just go to the department stores and change them. You can keep changing until you satisfied. Some shopping webs will offer after-sale service but you need to pay the postage by yourself.


To sum up, ordering by mail-order catalogues is absolutely more convenient than shopping in department stores, but most customers will like to try on the clothes, to touch the clothes after they check the products. The most important thing is that customers will want to change the wrong clothes anytime. No matter how progressive technology is, human nature still stand on the premier position.
