I often find myself shopping online to get the best selection. Not living near a lot of different types of retailers, it can be hard for me to find the brand or style I really want at a local store. I end up driving around to five different stores looking for that perfect item. I waste time and gas driving from store to store. I get frustrated looking for a parking space and waiting in line for a dressing room. In the end, the shopping trip is not even remotely fun and half the time I don’t end up finding what I wanted to begin with. Shopping online can be a huge time and sanity saver.

Tips For Online Shopping
- Security. Make sure that you shop at a trusted retailer for personal security reasons.
- One stop shopping sites. Buying several items from the same online retailer can save you money on shipping charges.
- Check sizes. Different brands have different ideas about what clothing sizes are. Check the online sizing guide to make sure you’re selecting the right size.
- Allow for shipping time. Remember to checking standard shipping times when you shop online. Shipping times may vary depending on what area of the country the item is coming from.
- Check return policies. A reputable company will have a return policy posted.
- Clearance. Check the clearance sales. Just like brick and mortar stores, online stores generally have clearance or sales sections.

very good tips! Shopping online can save a ton of time but only if you are careful about what you buy!
Oh I’ve gotten burned by not utilizing those darn sizer charts!
Totally agree that it is important to check the sizing chart. I have made this mistake before, and it is so frustrating having to send something back!
I agree. I always make sure to check it when I shop!
