Online retailers are increasing their selection like crazy and people are loving them for it that we don’t step in a store these days anymore. But although Lakeland shopping online is a great deal, we are always halted by the thought of having to pay those large shipping fees. Luckily, there are actually several ways you can save on shipping or not have to pay them at all.
Find the coupon codes
Online shops don’t always publish their coupon codes for all the world to see. For some reason only known to them, they are hidden in plain sight and you will only find them if you actually search for them.
You can go to the shop’s website and find the codes under the “promos” web page or you can do a shortcut: open the Google website and type what you’re looking for on the search bar. For example, you can search for “free shipping offers Amazon” or “shipping discounts Walmart.”
Visit the Free Shipping Day website
The website www.freeshippingday.com collects coupons from thousands of online merchants and publishes them on their website. The coupons are printable or downloadable or you can copy the codes and use it for your online purchases. The best thing about this website is that you would see if the coupons actually work. There’s a like and dislike button for the coupons, so you know which to use and which not to spend time on.
Buy only when shipping is free
Sometimes, websites like Zappos and Amazon offer free shipping for a specific amount of purchase. Zappos, for instance, does not charge a fee for purchases or returns, so there’s that. You can find others that offer free shipping and simply do your shopping there. Most of the times, if you ordered items for $20 and above, you won’t have to pay any shipping costs.
Shop around
When you buy a handbag, do you purchase the first bag you see? You shop around and see if there are offers you like better, right? That’s how you should deal with shipping costs, too. Find out on Google just how much the market price of a product is.
That’s the amount that you should pay with free shipping. Some retailers are smart enough to increase the amount of the product to cover for what they say is “free shipping.” Don’t be fooled by these so-called promotions.
Cut out the courier itself
You can pick up the items from the online store’s brick and mortar location. Shops like Nordstrom, Sears, Best Buy, and Walmart allow this practice. For buyers, it is also beneficial since you know that the store has the item in stock. That removes the need for a courier and you won’t have to pay a shipping fee anymore.
