> I have to return so much stuff, live with so many things that I don't actually love, … and spend hours on hours researching everything because I can't hold it in my hand.

i’ve basically stopped shopping online for these exact reasons. including my entire Christmas shopping list, all bought in actual stores.

- the amount of time researching what i was buying online was beyond ridiculous

- the colors or size or material was just plain wrong or misleading more than it was correct

- after all of the research, i would still end up returning so much of it.

over the past year i just save all that time and frustration and just go to the store, hold the thing, and buy it. done. so much easier.

i can’t stress how much i detest the dishonesty and misleading garbage of online stores.
