I love ordering stuff online. I get to spend my time, compare lots of different things easily, and can focus on the most important aspects (like measurements or technical specifications). I tend to put it out of my mind once I've ordered it, and instead of getting anxious waiting it's more like a happy surprise when it turns up!
I kind of feel like that, but also get anxious. I can't visualise anything, and although I know how long a centimetre/metre are, I can visualise how big 1.37 metres is in my space without a tape measure (which only kinda helps), so I hate purchasing size based things online. For general things, I do prefer online though. But expensive things give me buyer's remorse, I guess cause of the lack of instant gratification
I'm more worried about stuff being out of stock by the time it comes to ship and then waiting for it and not knowing where exactly they're going to deliver the item to.
