Very Convenient Chinese E-commence

In past decade, Chinese E-commence developed very fast and China became a world EC power.

E-commence developing changed my way of life. I did not go to off-line shopping any more.

Once, I searched some dresses on ZARA T-mall shop then I went to a store to try it on. But when I arrived there, I could not even find the dress which I liked. I opened my Taobao APP and showed the dress picture to sales, then asked her to find it to me. She checked their stock and told me that this dress was new arrival, and they did not display yet, I could buy it in 3 days. It made me very disappointed that I did not try on the dress even had a look at it. I ordered dress on Taobao immediately, and the changing and refunding policy was friendly as well.
After that time, I seldom went to offline store to shop because I could not find the product which I liked immediately, and I could not compare the several products in one time. It made me fell inconvenience.
I bought everything on internet. The only worry of mine is about the environment pollution of delivery package and disposable tableware.
