Fair, but I don't see how navigating a virtual three-dimensional mall is going to be more efficient than just ordering stuff online.

The up-side of visiting a real mall would be the ability to view objects, touch them, smell them, and so forth. You're also be able to purchase the object on the spot and bring it home with you. VR doesn't really offer that though. Maybe you'd get a rough idea of the size of an object but you wouldn't be able to say, try it on or smell it, and you'd still have to wait for it to be delivered to you.
