This is the place to get low prices, special offers, and
free shipping on many items. Let me give you a few tips about
shopping at buy.com
After you have set up your payment method (by the way, they accept
Paypal as well as credit cards and bank cards), pay close attention
to the shipping address. You can setup several addresses, which
is convenient when you buy something for your son who lives 2000
miles away. However, the last address used will be default, so
when you buy another item be sure it is selected to the place
you want the item to go. If you mess up like I did, you have
to cancel the order then reorder. No big deal, but irritating.
The shipping option will always be set to a reasonably priced
3-5 day option, even on items with free shipping. You must select
free shipping. The instructions will say 7-10 days for free shipping,
but ignore that. I've never waited longer than five or six days.
More often it is three days. Small items are shipped USPS which
is the longest wait you can have, and that is usually five or
six days. Another thing to notice is the return policy for each
item. I have returned things, and it is a very clean proceedure,
but some items, like new model items, must be returned to the
manufacturer. Also, if you buy software you cannot return it
for credit if you have opened the software package (you can return
it for replacement only if it is faulty). That's about it for
advice. So pick a coupon above and go get you something at the
best price you'll find from a reputable retailer.
