Save On Shipping Charges

Here's a simple way to save when buying your gifts. At CollectionsGiftsandMore.com  we ship from one central point so when you order multiple items your shipping charges per item scales down. Here's an actual example:

Buy 1 Disney Mickey & Pluto Lighted sleigh at $32.95 and UPS ground shipping to my home is $13.83 = 13.83 per item
Buy 2 Disney Mickey & Pluto Lighted sleighs at $32.95 and UPS ground shipping to my home is $16.35 = 8.18 per item
Buy 3 Disney Mickey & Pluto Lighted sleighs at $32.95 and UPS ground shipping to my home is $20.74 = 6.91 per item

Since 3 of these would cost $98.85 you would only have to spend another $1.15 to bring the order to $100.00 and shipping would be FREE.

This example is of multiples of one item but the same holds true when you buy different items. When your shopping at CollectionsGiftsandMore.com your freight charges are calculated each time you add something to your basket so there's never a surprise when you checkout. Try adding items to your basket and go to the shipping page each time to see what effect the changes have on your total. But remember, when your order is over $100.00, you will want to click on the Money Saver freight button and get your Free shipping.

If you plan on buying several things in a short period of time you may want to consider buying all at one time instead of paying multiple shipping charges. You should also consider this when comparing pricing for your online purchases. If you save a little buying from a second source but spend a lot for shipping you may not be saving any money.
