We will order the bathroom cabinets online. We ordered our dining table from a well-known mattress store online after the branches did not want to match the price from their own online shop. Small items like network equipment and technology are generally ordered online. We ordered our sofa from the furniture store where we also ordered our kitchen. The price was reasonable and not cheaper online either.

I just ordered our sink online - otherwise (almost) everything concerning the fine installation of the electrical and network systems.

We bought the sofa/chair at the furniture store, the kitchen is being made by the carpenter, the lowboard was made by my sister. The rest is Ikea & Ebay Kleinanzeigen

So we order tons of stuff on the Internet... I don't go to the specialty store beforehand to mooch advice and then order online. I think that’s pretty unfair...

If I do go there, I also buy there.

For the house, we got almost all the

- electrics from the Internet
- bathroom fittings
- various equipment items
- refrigerator and other kitchen appliances and also white goods
- ventilation system
- air conditioning

Lamps, on the other hand, come from the furniture store etc.

For our new dining room, for example, I went to the furniture specialty store and negotiated a 40% discount off the marked price, compared to the RRP it was even 80%.

When it comes to furniture, it is not easy to find cheaper options online in the higher price segment. Many furniture pieces are sold through large chains (e.g., musterring), where you really can’t get the furniture any cheaper anywhere. Some furniture items are apparently not allowed to be sold significantly cheaper either (e.g., stressless). With "noname" or direct sales, the price difference is really huge. I no longer buy from these chain alliances because a large part of the costs just evaporate for nothing. I prefer to buy directly and know that the expensive money at least somehow partly goes into the product. A stressless chair/sofa is a top-quality seat and lasts forever. We currently have a hjortknudsen sofa, where there is no intermediary chain, but the furniture dealer orders directly.

On the topic of the Internet in general:

- Lamps are thrown onto the internet by the dozen much cheaper
- bathroom furniture is available online with hefty discounts (cabinets etc.)
- Plissee is available online at half the price compared to retail stores

I buy almost everything I have a concrete need for on the internet: furniture, lamps, small parts, tools, electrical appliances, clothing, shoes, plants, even my cars (I've never test-driven one)...

Before a major purchase decision, I naturally inform myself as thoroughly as possible, but usually only online, not in local stores. After the purchase, however, I am also satisfied with what I have and don’t keep fussing about what doesn’t suit me.

The only thing I (still) do not buy on the internet is groceries.

That does not mean that I no longer go to hardware stores, furniture stores, Ikea, or similar. But only impulse purchases happen there.

With the lowest price guarantee, you can even outsmart the internet. I bought my shower fittings at the hardware store with a lowest price guarantee. Lowest internet price minus 10 percent extra. Worked wonderfully with many things.
