Análisis

Of Internet purchasers, 4.6% had problems with their electronic shopping during the last two years (2008 and 2009).Problems with online purchases were generalised among all groups in the study. However, those over 65 and those living in capital cities have more problems with their online shopping than other groups.

 

The main problem observed was a delay in order delivery, with almost four in ten purchasers (39.6%) experiencing this type of situation.

Payment problems (end price different to that established or payment problems), despite being the main reason for purchasers not buying, had a light weight among all problems: only 28.7% of the purchasers had this problem.
