Holiday Use Sours a Few Consumers on Web Shopping

By LESLIE KAUFMAN

Amid post-Christmas giddiness about the stellar holiday drawing power of Web merchants like Amazon.com and portals like America Online, a survey to be released today found that while record numbers of Americans tried Internet shopping, they were not always happy with their experiences.

Consumers who expressed satisfaction with their online shopping excursions dropped by 14 percentage points from six months earlier, although the vast majority -- 74 percent -- still considered it a positive experience, according to the survey, which was conducted by Jupiter Communications, a new-media research company in New York.
