Online Shopping Update

My first order from Walmart.com arrived. I must say I was pleased in every way, from the fact that it arrived a day earlier than the estimated delivery date I was given, to the quality and pricing on the items I ordered. I was hesitant about ordering online from Walmart at first, but it's become my best online experience ever. They even let me pay through my Paypal account, which made things even easier.

Now my second order from Walmart is on its way and according to the tracking, it's going to arrive just three days from my placing the order, and three days ahead of the estimated delivery date! I can't say enough about how timely they are.

Meanwhile, I am still waiting on another order from another online site. They have very reasonable shipping rates but now I see why.

My advice is to try out different retailers online to see how expensive the shipping is going to be and also how long the orders take to be fulfilled and delivered. If you need something right away, you will probably have to go to a brick and mortar store or pay expensive extra charges for overnight shipping. Once you know the timelines of each online retailer, you will know what to expect and you can make your choices based on your impatience preferences.

Don't waste money on extra shipping charges until you know if they are necessary. In my case, I would have wasted money paying for quicker shipping options, as these are arriving in very short time periods. At the same time, I will reconsider any ordering from the other company that is taking more than reasonable time, even though the shipping charges were much less. My shopping gratification needs to be fulfilled much faster than that!
