Any other internet shoppers out there?
 
Hi all:

I was just wondering if there are any other villagers out there that are internet shoppers like I am. I buy most everything on Amazon.com or loads of other websites. I'm not one to drive all over town looking for an obscure item. If Belks or Bealls don't have my size, I order it on line. Just wondering if there's anyone else out there like me? :024:

I'm right with ya.

And when I find a site that has what I want, I then go to fatwallet.com to see if I can get cash back from FatWallet by entering the seller's site through FatWallet.

And before I checkout I go to retailmenot.com to see if there are any checkout codes for the seller's site.

My name is Pooh and I'm an Amazonaholic!.... ;) I buy lots of things online and many, many of the items come from Amazon. Their prices are hard to beat...and with free shipping for so many things, it's nice not to have to cart stuff to the car or cart.

I have a prime membership to Amazon. My sister pays $75 a year for it and is allowed I believe 5 guest e-mails on her account. I get free shipping almost all of the time. She won't let me help her pay for it because she uses it so much for her at home business. Nice perk.

Before I buy anything directly from department store websites, I do an internet search for a free shipping or percentage off coupon code and enter it into the coupon code slot. I don't normally have to pay shipping or I'll get a percentage off that I would have never known about if I hadn't done the search! :024:

I love hearing everyone's tips!!!

Wow! Haven't tried those yet. Thanks for the tip! :wave:

You said it! My sister even orders her cat litter on line in 70 lb bags for free shipping! I can't believe she has the UPS man delivering her cat litter!

I have prime, too. Love it and it's paid for itself many times over. I forgot about adding a few others...have husband on, but might be able to add Mom, too? Will check on that, thanks for the reminder!

i'm semi-disabled and buy everything on amazon and let ups deliver to my lanai. super convenient and good prices

jimbo2012 04-23-2012 03:18 PM

Amazon is great, hen it's Amazons inventory and their shipping, but the majority of products are not in fact from Amazon, they are from third party merchants who pay Amazon a 15% commission to sell their products.

Many times you can go to that merchants website and get it for less.

Don't ask how I know:024:

Prime membership is an awesome thing to have! My sister also added my son's e-mail to hers and he has twin 11 month old babies and all of his baby food and formula and diapers shipped directly to his door! The largest thing I had shipped for free was our 50 inch TV! We were going to buy it locally and it wouldn't fit in the car. I went on line to Amazon and they had it cheaper and free prime shipping. It came right to our door. Paid a guy to hook up the sound bar, blue-ray player and fine tune the TV for $65.00. Worked out great! :024:

Pretty nice website! I checked it out and saw a 7 topping pizza at Papa John's today only for $11.99. Can't beat that!

Thank YOU.

Another Amazonholic here. It costs me less to order it with free shipping than to drive to the big stores and hunt for it.

Just purchased a Dream Number mattress this afternoon on line. It had free shipping and will be coming by Fedex to the door. It beat the price of Sleep number and Relax in Comfort and had a 90 day return policy which included the return shipping if we don't like it. Couldn't beat that. I use Amazon alot too and the various herbal sites for our supplements. Just found overstock.com which has tons of stuff too. Happy Hunting everyone!
