An extremely advantageous factor for working adults is the ability to shop 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Where once you had to wait until the weekend or hurry after work to buy the products that you need, you now have these products at your fingertips whenever you need them. Rather than have to wait until your day off to visit a shopping centre, you can now access stores from the internet at any time of the day or night.

Although there are often still restrictions on human resource based services such as live chat functions and limits on next day delivery, for the most part, e-commerce shops are now completely 24/7, allowing you to buy products whenever you need them.
