Now that the spending season is in full swing, make sure when you’re making online purchases you’re getting the best possible deals! During the holiday months companies like to take advantage of people already spending, and often times prices will go up, shipping will go up, and customer service will be very poor.
Now this isn’t the case for many places, however, I have noticed the holidays bring out the money signs in people’s eyes, and everyone even consumers are all trying to make a buck and save a buck. When shopping online, make sure you research an item before you purchase it, search for discount and promotional codes online. Make sure you hit up all locations that may sell the item.
One thing I like to look for when shopping is free shipping! Free shipping is a must especially if I am ordering electronics, musical instruments or anything heavy. Shipping can lead to the high cost in items. So if purchasing gifts online this holiday season, look for free shipping, promotional and discount codes, and search and see who may have the product cheaper. If you do your research before you shop, you will find you can save yourself a lot of money!
I agree with the free shipping – not just this time of year, but ALL year. The costs are so inflated ‘ what is “processing & handling”? Anyone know? Yet they always seem to tack that on. I’m sure a lot of companies has lost business due to the outrageous shipping charges. And that’s ridiculous, really!
