TECHNOLOGY SHOPPING PORTAL, Techbargains.COM®, OFFERS TIPS TO SIMPLFY ONLINE SHOPPING THIS
While everyone’s holiday list will be a little different this year, chances are most will include consumer electronics. This product category can be daunting, especially for the novice gift-giver. The top consumer concerns nationwide are “where to begin” and “how to ensure the best deal.”
For insight into how to find the best deals on the hottest tech products, follow these tips from the experts at Techbargains.com®, a leading destination for trustworthy information and reviews of the latest technology devices and gadgets. They can help you save time, energy and money:
1) Be Patient
Prices can change on a daily basis, and special deals come and go within days or even hours. Patience can help save money, especially on larger-ticket items like flat screen televisions and digital cameras. To help avoid the “will it go lower” problem, make a target price for items, especially higher priced ones. When the right price, with the right terms, with receipt guaranteed before the holidays is found, take the plunge.
2) Use a Price Search Engine
Find the lowest price on a particular item with a price search engine such as Techbargains.com. When buying from an unfamiliar vendor, check various vendor rating sites and search engines to see if the vendor is reputable.
3) Don’t Forget the Warranty
Make sure to make big purchases, on items such as TVs or computers, from authorized dealers to avoid an invalid product warranty. For example, when purchasing computers, the experts at Techbargains recommend that consumers buy from a vendor that offers an on-site warranty. This will permit the machine to be repaired on-site. Consumers should also remember that some credit cards will double product warranties up to an additional year.
4) Factor the Sales Tax
The lowest price on a product may not always be the cheapest buy. When buying online, consumers pay sales tax if that company has a local presence. Buying from companies that do not have local retail outlets could mean that the product may appear to be more expensive, but not paying sales tax can make the delivered price more attractive.
5) Save on Shipping
Look for sites that clearly state all shipping and handling charges before an order is placed. Some vendors offer great prices, then make a large profit on the shipping costs. To save money, try to purchase all your items in one transaction. Consumers can also save money by shipping the product the slowest way possible, such as UPS ground, but this requires buying ahead to avoid last-minute express shipping charges to ensure pre-holiday delivery.
