University Studies 7 ISSN 2414-6773
Abstract
Online shopping is a renowned substance around the world. Bangladesh is close to this phenomenon. Numerous online shopping sites or shops have already been established. This study explores the overall consumer attitude towards the perception of online shopping in Dhaka City. Online shopping is in a race with traditional shopping. The study reveals that the main favorable attitudes of consumers are searching online products, detailed descriptions of products, and time spent on online shopping, whereas unfavorable attitudes are delivery time of the products, price of shopping goods, trust and security, and quality products of shopping goods. The study suggests delivery time should be reduced, the price of shopping goods should be reasonable, trust and security should be enhanced, and quality products should be ensured.
