Internet Shopping Review Sites
8 Oct 08

I do just about all of my shopping online. It is important to be careful in the future since shipping charges have gone up quite a bit and returning items is becoming prohibitively costly. Sites that review items are used only if I suspect I might get a better price on items which everyone seems to be selling at a high price. In addition, if I am unable to locate a special item I will check review sites to see which major seller has the item.
In the realm of shoes Famousfootwear.com is a fine site from which to purchase a wide variety of shoes with fast shipping. Shoebuy.com seems to be giving them a run for their money. I was searching for a duplicate pair of sandals that I had purchased at a brick and mortar Payless store. I was able to get a pair online from Payless.com. Having two of every kind like Noah is what I often do, since many of my favorite items end up discontinued.
In clothing and general items Walmart.com is the clear winner with little competition from the likes of Target. Wal-Mart’s own brand of Faded Glory is usually of excellent quality and their pants, jeans and jackets are well worth the money. My only complaint is that the Walmart.com website is not sensitive enough when I enter a search item, but it is not a major problem. For T-shirts the website Cheapestees.com has the widest selection at fantastic prices. All this for major well-known brands like Fruit of the Loom and Gilden. Nothing much to be added about Amazon. com. It is a comprehensive site that sells most everything, with a lot of help from their affiliates.
One must be careful shopping online. Since it is only done primarily through credit cards those of you who cannot control your spending should be careful. Otherwise you will end up with a major credit card balance problem.
If I have the time, which I usually do, I will contribute a rating of the product to the site. After all these reviews are helpful to me and I am just returning the favor. Hopefully, I have shed some light on some good shopping websites.
