I am constantly buying stuff off the internet, everytime i see things i like even if not in need of it :)
The frustrating part is that you need alot of patient for the stuff to arrive because shipping is, and can be very expensive for anything faster then ground. While some fear of being scammed and don't shop online at all, this will make your life inconvenient and paying much more at retail store will greatly limit your purchasing ability. Frankly i'm a little disappointed with some rebates that never came, so it isn't exactly cheaper then online ordering, for this reason, I no longer shop locally. Things like CDR IMHO are nearly useless, due to excessively over production?

Doesn't quite fit into your poll results. But its frequently. More than once a month, but not once a week.

I ordered shoes from Payless.com once and there's an option where you can select to ship to the store of your choice for FREE. So buying in store would've been the exact same price.

I also got a screensaver online as well.

Online shopping can be fun but with some risks, you can't return for a full refund even if the product was defective... some companies do not care whether you're satisfied or not. This saving does come with some penalties, you have to be sure that you really want it. One of main reason I return stuff locally is cost, i found it cheaper on the internet and so, it goes back to them :p

On average probably once a week. Today I just ordered some Calvin & Hobbes books, last week some flight training software. I've been buying stuff online for probably 3 years now and haven't been burned yet (knock on wood). I buy from only reputable stores.
 

About once a month for me - I order stuff usually only from the Hot Deals forums - that's the way I 'save' money. :)

Way too often.

If I see something I really want, I buy it and then pay for it when the stupid credit card bill comes :eek:
