For the third time, e-commerce is a global marketplace. You can order various products and services from nearly anywhere in the world. Sure, you can use e-commerce websites just to order a pepperoni pizza, but imagine how long it would take if you ordered it from across the globe. Of course, you will not be ordering pizza from the polar opposite of your current standing point. As common sense dictates, the farther you and your order are, the longer it takes for it to arrive. This particular disadvantage does not affect services such as content creation, web development or web design, but it does massively affect products with a shorter shelf life.
Even though e-commerce offers a lot more information about a product or a service than traditional retail, it does not allow you to experience any of it before buying.
Another disadvantage that we often see pop up here and there is a credit card or identity theft. Although both are severe issues, we could argue that a lot worse could happen the next time you carelessly run over the street to grab that delicious popsicle.
Popsicles melt. While it might not be a direct disadvantage of e-commerce, the delivery of certain products is at the moment cost inefficient. However, we do hope that drones carrying ice cream in little refrigerators will be the next big thing of the future!
