Do you think that mail order business hurt the U.S. economy and its Retail Stores? I would like to hear your reasons both positive and negative. Recently on the news there was a senator that thought it was bad and discouraged people to buy online. Do you think she was right?
I personally believe that it helps save gas and gives people that can’t find a local job a way of branching out and making money another way. There are even ways to search so you can shop local or pick your location.

Yes and no. Traditional stores are probably hurting but then they have the online websites also so it might make up the difference. But then the overstock.com websites hurt the stores. So in my opinion YES its hurting the retail dept’s.

No, it didn’t hurt the economy. Yes, it did hurt the retail stores. Then Target opened up mail order and caught up..
