Online shopping is not much popular in Bangladesh. Online shopping may sound like a dream come true, offering people a convenient way to purchase all the goods they could possibly want from the comfort of their own home, with just a few clicks of the mouse. Online shopping may also turn into a disaster, as customers battle with complicated transaction procedures or fall victim to scams.

But amazing as it may sound, customers disappointed with their online experience will invariably get back onto their computers and start browsing for new offers on the net. Disappointing experiences purchasing goods online have not deterred people from browsing through online stores just minutes later to find other goods they might like.

The widespread use of online technology in people’s everyday life has encouraged the growth of e-commerce worldwide. The popularity of social networking sites, the omnipresence of cheap electronic devices as well as the faster internet connection speed here are believed to be strong drivers of this growth.

Given the increasing number of complaints about online shopping services, it appears there is a growing need to set up some kind of business etiquette on e-commerce that places the emphasis on customers’ convenience as a priority. Some online stores believe their managements must implement a set of standards to maintain their customers’ trust. Despite people complaining about and criticizing online shopping, there is no denying it provides an important service in people’s modern lifestyles.

More and more online businesses are popping up as they are cheaper to establish and easier to manage compared to conventional businesses.
