Now that the weather is getting better, you might be considering some new clothes or some new sporting activities to keep you busy outside. One of our talented developers stumbled across some tips and sites to help you get the most for your money.
Did you know that taxes and shipping are not only based on the state in which you reside, but also on the location of the company you are purchasing from and their location and/or distribution location? You may not be that quick to click the purchase button anymore. A little research can mean a few extra dollars staying in your pocket.
If you are lucky enough (as far as the on-line shopping world is considered) to live in Delaware, New Hampshire or West Virginia, then your on-line shopping worries are not as severe. These states have the lowest average shipping times, shipping costs and pay no sales tax! If you are lucky enough (as far as beach goers consider) to live in Hawaii, then you should hit the pavement in search of your shopping items. They are in one of the worst shipping areas in the country. Other unlucky on-line shopping states include Alaska, California and New York.
Once you have decided on an item you would like to purchase, take an extra few minutes and do some research on where this product is available. If you can find the item from a source that has a low price, doesn’t charge sales tax and that doesn’t have a distribution center in your region then you should consider buying from them, often!
