Online Shopping For Ink Cartridges, Stationery And Accessories

Any long-serving postman will tell you that whilst the volume of written mail that

he or she is required to take out and deliver on an average day has diminished, so the number of parcels being ordered through the post has risen enormously.

There is a very good reason of course for both trends. Written mail has been rendered superfluous in many areas of activity by the widespread use of e-mail. Indeed the act of physically writing a letter and then folding it, placing it in an envelope, addressing it and applying a stamp can appear a daunting, almost Herculean task when compared with the ease with which an e-mail can be transmitted.

The growth in parcel traffic can likewise be put down to Internet usage, and in particular to the explosive growth of online shopping.

It is now possible to shop at many of the big established stores without ever setting foot on their premises. Their Internet presence offers a convenient alternative, and the partial switch by customers to online trading has allowed the stores to realign and to rationalise.

But online shopping has also created opportunities for new firms to get in on the act. Not requiring the enormous overheads that having a store physically located in every town demands, new vendors have been able to get involved and to establish themselves as serious players in the online shopping market.

What is most important of all for any business seeking to trade goods on the web is actually trust. Customers who are being asked to pay up front and, more importantly still, to submit their credit or debit card details need the reassurance of knowing that they will receive the merchandise they have requested, and also that their personal details will not be misused.

As well as serving the bigger names in shopping on the web, the phenomenon has given birth to another area of opportunity known to some as dropshipping. Here anybody with a website can effectively set up and market their own store, take orders from customers and simply pass on the order to an actual supplier. The dropshipper takes a cut of the fee and processes the order usually without ever setting eyes on the shipment itself.

One of the commodities that is especially popular with online shoppers is printer ink. Because ink cartridges are small and light, and because of the amount of competition involved in the market (especially when one takes into account the market for compatible ink cartridges), one is able to shop around online and to select the most suitable product for ones needs, and secure the best bargain.
