• Resumen

  • Gruntkowski and Martinez examined the impact of factors such as perceived risk and perceived usefulness on German consumers’ intention to purchase groceries online once the COVID-19 pandemic had subsided. They also compared consumer perceptions before and during the COVID-19 outbreak. This comment shows that Gruntkowski and Martinez’s research suffers from a number of problems, the most important of which is the use of an unrepresentative sample. They should therefore have refrained from generalizing their findings to the German population.
