Lots of online shopping websites offer free shipping once you’ve spent a certain amount of money, but you might be tempted to spend the extra cash and get your items more quickly. Before you pay for faster shipping, Google the location of the shipping warehouse from that company. If it’s only one or two states away, you’ll likely get the items much faster than the free shipping estimation suggests, so don’t bother paying for any expedited shipping. It it’s all the way across the country, you might want to pay the extra fee and get your items to your doorstep more quickly.
