How to Save Money Shopping this Holiday Season

USU Holiday Presents

Well, savings begin the moment you decide you want to shop online in the U.S. Now, how do you save more money when you begin to shop online in the U.S.?

Holiday Shopping Tips

Take Advantage of Sales

This may seem like a no-brainer. However, it’s worth mentioning. Many online retailers offer daily sales. The moment you see something worth buying for yourself or someone else, you should buy it. If you wait until the next day you risk missing out on the previous day’s sale. Also, use sites like RetailMeNot or DealNews. You will be able to find more sales and deals from your favorite U.S. retailers.

Free Shipping & Consolidation

No need to pay for shipping if nearly all online retailers offer free shipping. Therefore, you’ll only need to pay for freight forwarder shipping. If you’re expecting many packages, CONSOLIDATE them. Consolidating your packages is when the freight forwarder combines your orders. You will pay for maybe two boxes, as opposed to six.

One Stop Shops

Maybe you’re a shopper that doesn’t enjoy perusing the internet to find gifts. Or, you simply don’t know where to shop. By shopping at one stop shops, all your shopping prayers are answered. One stop shops are where you can find clothing, electronics, tools, beauty products, etc., all at the same retailer. Amazon and Walmart would be considered one-stop shops. You can purchase gifts for all your friends and family at one place, saving you time and money.

Act Now

You don’t want to miss all the sales. You also don’t want to wait for the items to sell out. It takes time for your order to ship overseas. If you want your gifts to reach you before the holiday’s end, you should put your orders in sooner rather than later. Also, loading your US Unlocked Card sooner rather than later will come in handy.
