How much should you pay for shipping?
Shopping increases traffic on the roads. But we do have another option: shopping online is like public transportation for goods, a greener option since then one delivery truck is out there instead of 500 cars.
So how much should you pay for shipping costs?...
NOTHING--both ways! Yeah, baby!
These companies off FREE standard shipping and FREE returns both ways!
--ASOS
--FOSSIL
--Nordstrom
--Piperlime
--Zappos
--Zara
I love free shipping both ways because it lets me try new fashions and sizes without any risk.
NOTHING--one way
These companies offer FREE shipping all the time:
--3 cheers for L.L. Bean who has committed to free shipping within the U.S. and Canada forever more for everything!
--It has become the norm that shoes ship free. Shoes.com, Nine West, Aerosoles, etc. all offer this deal.
--Banana Republic Luxe card provides free shipping for life from Banana Republic and their four affliates: GAP, Old Navy,
Athleta, and Piperlime--worth getting the card (which has no yearly fee) for this savings alone.
Who else? Please add to my list!
Low shipping costs:
--Boden and Long Tall Sally ship for a flat $10 from England--now that's pretty good!
--ModCloth ships orders over $50 for free; orders under $50 are just $4.
--Amazon is pretty inexpensive and always fast.
Free shipping on orders over $50
Many companies offer this deal or a variation on it (free shipping over $75, over $100, over $300). It's not bad if you're already planning to spend more than $50, but so many stores price items just under $50 to keep you from ordering just one thing--or does it just look that way to me since I try never to spend over $50? :-).
--Backcountry.com
--Forever 21
--Urban Outfitters
--Eddie Bauer
High shipping costs:
These companies offer shipping for about $10 and up, which I call expensive. Some of these stores regularly send out codes for free or reduced cost shipping, which helps.
--Victoria's Secret (just ordered from VS--shipping costs about $9, but it's lightning fast (about 2 days), as are
their returns)
--Anthropologie
--Garnet Hill
--J. Crew
--Madewell
--Wrap London (flat $15 fee from England)
--Kohl's
--Sundance Catalog
