TIL online shopping is all about minimizing shipping cost

Online shopping has been a new trend due to its transparency in price and user experience (quality). However, what you saved online might get cancelled out with shipping and handling cost. With additional time for delivery, it is not worth the trouble to shop online sometimes.

I have spent a considerable amount of time online. A great site I use for electronic is newegg.ca, it has great review system, seems to offer lower price, and if you are lucky, has free shipping. The site ebay.ca is a close second as it offers the ability to compare total price (item + shipping cost). The sellers on ebay typically offer very cheap shipping fee in exchange for long wait for delivery.
