Simply it's all about your target Market.
Retail business is not my Niche though we serve alot of individuals.

@Alvin, and that is how you have lost business you never knew you had.
And by you, I mean all other vendors who are shying away from embracing some form of e-commerce at least for their hardware, for whichever reason. Yes, you will continue selling, yes you will continue expanding, but you could have done that last year simply by changing your *delivery model*.
That said, I know next to nothing about running a business, so all this is just opinion.

True Alvin, I agree in that aspect, but how will they become better in the so called shoes and trousers if all we do is criticism here and not give actual feedback? We are a techie list and here is where we should be honing new online shopping ideas, not saying that once I am burnt I will now stick to Luthuli Avenue - where people are burnt every single day
