Shopping Sites ~ Personal Experience



 Like anyone that shops online, uses a service or goes to a restaurant; we all have a variety of experiences.  Some are good and some are bad.  One thing that I like to do before a purchase from either a new site or an item that I am unfamiliar with is to look at other people's options and experiences.  You have to understand that anyone that gives a site one * may have had one of those occasionally "it happens" experiences.  Make sure that when you are reading reviews and opinions that you don't let one good or one bad review color your entire decision.

To get reviews, go to your search engine (google, yahoo or your preference) and type in the SITE Name (i.e. dailysteals.com) or you can go to http://www.resellerratings.com/ and enter the site name for reviews.  If looking for a particular item use your search engine or EXACT item name of what you are researching, including model number.  More than likely you will find reviews/comments.  If it is a product, Amazon.com is a helpful resource.  Why are they helpful?  Because shoppers like you and I write them.  With this in mind, it is helpful for you to also review any items you receive.  Whether you like or dislike, you need to be honest because people depend on what goes into the reviews.

I will start listing my shopping sites (which changes from time to time) with information that MAY assist you with your shopping.  By no means is my experience exactly like others so use your own judgement and know for the most parts companies have good customer service but, issues are dealt with by humans and we all have a bad day!!!

FAVORITE SITES
Kohl's - (Kohl's.com) They have frequent sales, you can stack coupons (many times up to 4), they have "Kohl's Cash" and rebates occasionally which means you are going to get a "killer deal".  I have never had a problem with them and if you order something online you can also return it to the store.  If you have a Kohl's Credit Card, you will also receive "special deals" throughout the year such as pick your own day discount, Birthday Cash, and Free Shipping.  There is no cost for the credit card but on the down side, you can't download into Quicken.

Questions????





I have tried to make things easy in my blog but things can be confusing so....should you have questions on any of my blog procedures, feel free to contact me via email and I will respond as soon as possible.  Make sure you put in the Subject Line BLOG QUESTION.  I will fix my email so "hopefully" they will not fall into my spam box.  I can be emailed at jlshipman225@gmail.com.

Happy Shopping
