My problem with online shopping has always been shipping costs. Free shipping coupons and credits are usually only on high purchases and being a frugal shopper that shops clearance and discount racks I rarely spend much in one visit to a store. Then the shipping cost outweighs the money saved on getting a sale item. I rarely shop online because of this. But I do like to patronize stores that are now offering free shipping and returns all the time — like piperlime.com. I have had few problems with customer service after buying online.
