Brite Rich Tip: Don’t you just hate shipping fees? Here are some of the best ways to avoid getting dinged by those dreaded add-ons while shopping online:
1)Crunch the numbers
Check out PriceGrabber or NexTag to compare.
2)Hunt down free-shipping codes
FreeShipping and FreeShippingOn, offer exclusive free shipping promotions and codes from more than 700 retailers each. Users can search by retailer name or by product category.
3)Check for minimum-order requirements
Amazon Super Saver Shipping, which offers free ground shipping for orders of at least $25 in qualifying items, is such a popular promotion that sites like Amazon Filler Item Finder now exist to help people meet the minimum and save.
4)Use your store credit card
5)Become a member
If you don’t want another credit card, find out if a membership is offered.
