Will I save money if I buy things off of Amazon.com?

Question

My sister told me she got free shipping off of a bag she bought from the site- is it like this for all of the products or no?

Answer 1

no she got very lucky. just keep looking for free shipping deals.

overstock shipping is 2.97 no matter if you buy one big thing or 100 things all at once. they got a deal on their shipping to lure in shoppers. i have bought from them and i love everything i got except for a knife set. pretty good success rate.

no matter where you shop just keep looking for that deal you want.

best wishes.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Yes u defenetly save money.

For example i bought a 4GB memory card for my phone and i got it at amazon for 15 dollars where at best buy it was 50 so yeah amazon is better. Plus sometimes they offer free and quick delivery.

And yes thats for most porducts. Most of the time theres a price reuquiremen meaning the ammount u spent. But not always sometimes its free shipping on everything.  

Answer 4

Amazon.com does indeed have some bargains.  I've shopped there myself at times.  However it is not the end all=be all of shopping sites.  There is no one site where everything you want can be found at the best price available.  A smart shopper always looks around at the different prices available at different places... and not only at the prices, but as you pointed out, at the shipping costs as well.  Sometimes a price can be similar at two sites, but the cost of shipping will make all the difference.

So if you have the time, go ahead and look up what you want to buy at Amazon.com.  Then see if you can find a better total price at another site.  You might, and you might not.  But it is usually worth the time to check it out.

Answer 5

yes and better quality  and faster delivery =]

Answer 6

Yes, you can save money buying from Amazon.

There is a good side to Amazon and there is a bad side.

One of the bad side is Sometimes you won't get stuff for Months.

This happened to my best friend.  She didn't get the book "Breaking Dawn" until last week when she Pre-ordered it for it to arrive Aug 2.

Answer 7

No, you have to qualify for what they call "Free Super Saver Shipping." Which, usually isn't too hard to do. Here's the fine print from amazon:

FREE on Orders $25 and Over (some restrictions apply)

How do I take advantage of FREE Super Saver Shipping?

    1. Place at least $25 of eligible Amazon.com products in your Shopping Cart. (Eligible items will say "eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping" next to their price.)

    2. Proceed to checkout.

    3. Ship your items to a single U.S. address.

    4. Select Super Saver Shipping as your shipping speed. Please note that your order may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to ship out from our fulfillment center(s). Transit time for Super Saver Shipping orders is 5 to 9 business days after shipping.

    5. Select "Group my items into as few shipments as possible" as your shipping preference.

    6. Place your order, and enjoy the free shipping!

    * Eligible items fulfilled by Amazon.com may not be eligible if fulfilled by a third-party seller. Look for the "FREE Super Saver Shipping" next to the price in all "New, used, and collectible" listings to see if the item is eligible for FREE Super Saver Shipping from any particular seller.

    * The price of shipping a magazine subscription is already included in the subscription price. However, the price of a magazine subscription can be applied toward the $25 order total needed to qualify for FREE Super Saver Shipping.

    * You will not receive FREE Super Saver Shipping on your order if any eligible items are canceled, bringing the total below $25.

    * May be used with 1-Click® orders. To take advantage of this offer, please follow these steps:

         3. Finally, select Super Saver Shipping as your shipping speed

I have qualified for free shipping many times from amazon. Most likely you'll save money by shopping on amazon, even if you don't get free shipping :)
