Online shopping?

By FranElizabeth

There has to be logical reason why the shops in Doha are not online? I'm baffled though.. stores like The One for example. It would be so much easier to check out what you wanted and then just go pay for it- Is there a reason or have they just not thought of it yet?
Thanks,

Two bay what? I went shopping today too and now have a freezer full of Quorn thanks to QL Lovelies:)) Megamart is awesome.. pantry has so much Heinz in it it might turn orange.

No sofa yet though.. went to City Centre and everything was vaguely excited about one.. until I got talking to the Chancer that runs or owns the place. Think I'm going to have to be patient on that one.

Have squidgy cushions though. It's a girl thing. Veggie Quorn, cushions and Heinz. Bloody awesome:))

Its mainly to do with culture. Qatar is a small place and its more common to "go to the shops", then sit at home and shop..

By the way, I went window shopping yesterday..Bought two bay and one roud one with coloured glass..

really? through PayPal?

well... may be they just recently implemented it.. at least a year ago or so, you couldn't do it..also it depends on the website where you buy. i mean when the sellers set up the PayPal account, they can block some countries from accepting the payments through PayPal ..

well... anyway.. qatar need a it more time for developing shopping on line...
