If you are still clipping coupons and sifting through newspaper ads trying to find the best deals on everything your family while trying to stay on budget, then you are clearly living in the stone ages. There is a better way to do things that will allow you to put the scissors down and still save money.
There are a number of options available in terms of shopping online including eBay and iOffer. These online retailers not only save you money, but allow you to shop from the comfort of your own home too.
There are three primary reasons why some people are hesitant about shopping online though. The first reason is that they believe that buying online is more expensive than going to a store. While you do have to pay for shipping online, you usually save money on the cost of the item. Online stores don't have the same expenses as a physical store has, like having to pay a high light bill or monthly rent for a prime location in a shopping center. They can therefore pass these savings on to their customers. Also, many retailers offer free shipping to their customers or discounted rates. Haven't you seen the ads that offer free shipping on orders over $75? So the bottom line is that you can and will save money shopping online.
The second reason is that many people are impatient and want their item now. However, have you ever experienced the excitement of waiting for a package to arrive in the mail? Nobody ever gets good mail anymore, only bills anyway so this is a good chance for you to receive good mail. In addition, if you really want your item quickly, most retailers offer overnight shipping.
Finally, the third reason people have not been shopping online is because they feel they will have a lot of difficulty returning something or contacting customer service for a company or person they have not physically met. Many of the companies that sell online through eBay or their own websites, even if they are small businesses, have all added contact information for that express purpose. In some cases, you may find the customer service through a small company or single person on eBay is faster, more efficient and could be even more generous. Free rewards for being a customer is not uncommon since the little guy values the business more than a bigger company and is more willing to do whatever they can to keep you a returning, happy customer.
So if you are interested in saving money and making the money you have go further, then get started shopping online. You'll find hundreds of great deals and once you have discovered the joy and excitement of shopping online for yourself, you will never want to go back. - 33374
