Top ten reasons to purchase online:
- Time Managment – Ever spent time wandering around a store looking for what you needed? That time lost is costing you money! Once you factor in drive and store time you will see that your brick and motor purchase has cost you more than just the item’s price tag. Save money by shopping online. By utilizing search engines such as Google you are taken to just the right product and are able to purchase your items and have them shipped to your branches’ doorstep.
- Availability – You will enjoy the wider selection of parts when you purchase them online. You are no longer limited to what is available in your area. This is especially helpful when you’re shopping for parts that are rare or difficult to find. The big bonus is being able to get several brands and products all in one place.
- Delivery – Parts can be shipped to your door with ease. Let the postal service take on the burden of oversized or heavy parts and save yourself time and manpower.[space]
- Comparison Shopping – Buying parts online can save you a ton of money. When you are limited to the parts that are available within driving distance of your location, you have to take what you can get. When you are shopping online, you can purchase parts from just about anywhere.
- Better Base Prices – Many e-commerce stores keep their mark-up low in order to compete with similar online vendors. This means cheap deals and better prices are available online because of the competition for your business or products are coming to you direct from the manufacturer or seller without middlemen being involved.
- Codes – Thrifty shoppers know the first commandment of online shopping is the online Discount/Promo Code. This is a great way to snag free shipping or a percentage off your purchase. Many offer special deals year-round while some sites have special use codes for opting in for things like emails or sharing information with friends.[space]
- Sales Tax – Online shops are only required to collect a sales tax if they have a physical location in our state, even if you purchase from a store across the world. Take advantage of this while you can as a recent Supreme Court ruling is putting this legislation back into the hands of each state.
- Save the Environment – even if it is just a little. When you shop online you are cutting out that extra drive to the store which saves gas and paper. For those more eco-friendly that means less fossil fuel emissions released into the atmosphere and another oxygen giving tree saved. You can even request that the online store not add extra paper or packaging to help reduce waste.[space]
- Branch Purchases – For a business with multiple locations, online shopping is one of the easiest ways to maintain and track office purchases and keep everyone on budget. When one branch handles items such as office supplies, parts orders, or even uniforms they can make bulk money saving purchases and have parts of the order shipped to different locations. Sometimes a seller will offer this option or a quick phone call and a nominal shipping fee will help get this type of branch shipping set up.
- Reviews – Reviews are the number one tool of the computer age. You no longer have to seek friends and acquaintances advice weeks in advance to find out about the pros and cons of a particular product. You can now see reviews on the seller’s site or even compare reviews on places like Amazon or Consumer Reports.
