Online Shopping
 
Do you do any and where do you shop and what do you buy?

I have purchased DVDs and CDs at Amazon.com. I bought my camera at Ritz camera online last year. The store at the mall did not have the model I wanted so I ordered it online and got it in less then a week. Tax free, too :blob2:
I ordered from Dunkin Donuts.com at Xmas time. :laugh:

I ordered my contact lenses online and got them on Monday.

I have ordered DVDs from, Wal Mart, Circuit City, and Best Buy in the last few years.

Other then that I am not a big online shopper but I think that I am going to become one.

The only thing I don't like about buying online are the shipping costs. They're ridiculous. You find a DVD online that's $5 cheaper than in a store, but then you essentially pay the same amount once shipping is tacked on. And if it's defective, you have to pay to send it back. :(

Yeah, someplaces do have free shipping but you have to wait a longer time to receive it. I hate waiting. I do seem to have good luck with Amazon, however.

Oh man...
 
I got my digital camera at Buy.com.

I've shopped just about everywhere online. LOL Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Amazon.com, and yes, Ebay. I love www.alldirect.com when I am looking for an import or something, they have a pretty great selection of CD's, DVD's and books. Decent prices too, check 'em out. :thumbsup:

I've bought my mom a Valentine's package and my friend a Christmas chocolate package online.

I love to compare prices on stuff, see who charges tax, who doesn't, where I can get free shipping, etc.

but I enjoy www.cdinzane.com , I paid $2.99 for shipping and had the cd 2 days after I placed my order...That was the fastest I have ever seen an online order arrive and the price was reasonable, $10.95 for a 2 disc import!!!! And this release (Chris Caffery's "Faces/God Damn War") was NOT the edited US release either!!!

Plan to wipe cdinzane.com out when we get our taxes filed (Have a ton of medical expenses to claim, Both Deb's & my own, Not including mileage, etc.).

I use amaxon alot because it has free shipping for orders over $25.

I also like neimanmarcus.com and circuitcity.com - both always have some advertised online sale that ususally is not in the stores :cool:

I like Barnes and Noble online because all orders over $25 give you free shipping and they guarantee that you'll get it in less than three days. :woohoo:

I was left in one once. We stopped in before dinner. Before I knew it, they left and ate and came back and got me. Good thing I wasn't that hungry. :rolleyes:

LOL, I have to do that in a lot of stores. :eek: Do not go down that aisle, just run in and get what you came in for. I have to put blinders on.

YEP - and I am a member of the club and get a discount!!!!

Goldie has seen my obsession with airline and other points in action. I usually find a way to get the most for less and why not - better in my pocket than in their's. I am flying to Hong Kong and China in March FIRST CLASS on Air France for FREE with Delta points. I am also staying for free a few night in the hotels I am going to. If you can learn to work the points, you have got it made!!!!!

You got ****ing gypped, dear. :laugh: A yearly fee just to get 10% off of full retail? No thanks. :laugh: What drives me mad about B&N is that everything is list price. That's just wrong.

You travel whore, you. I'm insanely jealous. My junior year of high school I was in the culture club (save the jokes, ass :laugh: ) and we were supposed to go to China but the trip ended up falling through :distress: I am going to North Carolina in March though but China/Hong Kong sounds pretty nice :nod:

I shop on amazon.com a lot (the different country sites, actually) for things that I can't get on the US site. I've gotten some DVDs from Canada and France :thumbsup:

www.shopintuition.com
www.urbanoutfitters.com
www.allposters.com

and of course E-bay and Half.com

GypsySorcerer 01-29-2005 10:34 PM

The usual suspects..... Amazon, B&N, buy.com, e-bay.

I've bought food gifts from Omaha Steaks and Hickory Farms. Clothes from wet seal and delia's. I also buy a lot of my jeans online from Old Navy, because I know the size and lenght I want, and it saves me a trip to the store.

tynan88 01-29-2005 10:44 PM

OMG You are so lucky Strand, first class! WOW! I don't have a credit card so I can't buy online but I get a lot of cd's from cd-wow, I can't remember the exact address but it's international in the sense you can pay in any currency however they all ship from Hong Kong and I have found to be extremely cheap.

My Dad buys my stuff for me and I pay him.

Tynan

StevieNicksEO17 01-29-2005 10:55 PM

eBay the most, and then Amazon and then fleetwoodmac.com! Shopping online is the best
