Some online retailers offer free shipping.
But only from companies that list phone numbers and mailing addresses. When buying several items from the same online store, you sometimes can save money by having all the items shipped together. If you do not want to enter your credit card number account online, call the store's 800 number or fax it. Companies that participate in the BBBOnLine Privacy Program, for example, agree to open themselves up to monitoring and consumer dispute resolution. Check out a company's refund and returns policy.
