8. Online shopping an the necessary of packaging.

    

    We are living in an era where we do not have to leave our rooms to buy food, clothes, toys, or personal stuff, all we need is a network connection and an online shopping website, Amazon, AliExpress, eBay, Shein, etc... Concerns regarding the environmental effects of packaging are growing as online shopping gains popularity. As we shop more and more online, the question of whether packaging becomes unnecessary is difficult and complex.

    Packaging has always been important for product marketing and distribution. Basic elements like leaves and clay pots have given way to more complex materials like plastics and metals in the packaging industry over the years. Packaging has been used exponentially more often as globalization and consumer demand for convenience have grown.

    But as e-commerce has grown, there has been a change in how things are shipped and packaged. Online shopping eliminates the need for customers to visit physical stores by enabling them to make purchases from the convenience of their homes. Since products are now usually shipped straight from warehouses to customers without a requirement for ornate packaging, this change has prompted concerns about the necessity of traditional packaging.

     The packaging industry has been significantly impacted by the transition to online shopping. On the one hand, because products must be packaged safely for transportation, e-commerce has raised the need for packaging supplies. As a result, the manufacturing of bubble wrap, cardboard boxes, and other packaging supplies has increased dramatically.

    However, there's a chance that shopping online will lessen the need for bulky packaging. Retailers can avoid the demand for extra layers of wrapping that are commonly used in conventional retail locations by shipping products directly from warehouses to customers. This might decrease the creation of waste and the supply chain's carbon footprint.

    One more advantage of internet shopping is that it presents an opportunity for retailers to switch to more environmentally friendly packaging techniques. The companies can reduce their negative environmental impact and attract eco-aware customers by offering reusable packaging options, cutting down on packaging waste, and using biodegradable materials.

    But there are drawbacks to take into consideration as well. Because products are frequently overpacked to protect them during shipping, the rise of e-commerce has resulted in an increase in packaging waste. Furthermore, the ease of shopping online has increased impulse buys, which has increased the amount of packaging that is used needlessly.

    In conclusion, the issue of whether packaging becomes unnecessary as more and more purchases are made online is complicated. E-commerce presents a chance to reconsider the way products are packaged and delivered, but it also presents certain issues that need to be resolved, like excessive packaging and waste. We can work towards a more efficient and sustainable packaging system in the digital age by taking into consideration the opinions of influential figures in the field, examining possible future developments, and analyzing the effects of online shopping on packaging.

1. My worst customer service experience!!!

Image
    As you all know, I am Vietnamese and I celebrate Lunar New Year or we call it "Tet". On the first day of Tet, we give and receive lucky money to wish all the best for children and parents. This year is the first time I have celebrated Tet far from home without my family, so I sent lucky money to my parent and my sister through the sending money app online. And my nightmare starts from there.      My friend and I have used Taptapsend, a mobile app for sending money worldwide for years, and it worked very well. We sent and received money from Finland to Canada to Vietnam in just a second. It is very convenient and confidential, and I have never had any trouble with the app. Until this Lunar New Year.      I sent money back to Vietnam directly to my parent's bank account. At first, it was pending for 2 days, I just thought it was because of the banking server. Then the app showed that my money was successfully sent to my parent. But they have not received anything at all
