Millennials are more likely than older generations to partake in “riskier” shopping behaviors. “Adventurous” Millennials are driven by getting what they want at the best price possible, even if it means making purchases overseas, and Paypal reports that 41% have bought an item from a website that was in a different language from their own. This doesn’t mean they aren’t prepared for what may go wrong: 46% use a shipping option that is faster and more reliable, and 63% check up on currency conversion sites before clicking confirm. They also haven’t lowered their standards—unlike older generations they are much less accepting of shipping delays and cancellations. (PYMNTS)
