Whether shopping is faster online depends on circumstances.
I live in New York City. Everything I need on a daily basis is available within a couple of blocks walk. My SO shops in Chinatown on Thursdays for things like roast port and beef neck bones for soup, and that's a convenient subway ride.
Online shopping is mostly for tech gear, but I get the best of both worlds. My preferred computer retailer is in the borough of Brooklyn, and a hop, skip, and jump away by subway. I can order online, have the order picked, and go pick it up, same day, instead of order now and get it delivered sometime next week. Because I usually need this sort of thing now rather than later, that's a considerable boon.
But then, I live somewhere where things
are in convenient walking distance. I recognize that others may not have that advantage.
