What We Asked Parents About In-Store vs Online Retail
Here’s a peek at of some of the key questions we asked parents about in-store and online shopping:
- Which retail stores do you enjoy shopping in-store and why?

- What factors influence your decision to shop in-store vs online?
A Selection of the Feedback from Parents on In-Store vs Online Shopping:
“Checking out is the most stressful when you have children with you, something to keep them entertained and involved would be great.”
“Tesco have a great variety of groceries online but delivery is either too expensive or near impossible to get a time suitable. Dunnes is also great online for children’s school clothing, underwear and socks range. That would be my first go to.”
“A lot of the retailers have difficult returns policies which require going to post office and paying for returns. I wish they would make returns easier.”
“Dunnes have a good online system for delivery and click and collect which I use very regularly. Would like if other stores had the same.”
