1. They offer free shipping
Most online retailers, especially when referring to big ones, are really popular for offering free shipping. However, this is actually a trick that will most likely make you overspend. How so? The retailer will offer you free shipping only if you spend a big chunk of money.
For instance, if you want to buy your friend a gift for under 20 dollars, in order to get free shipping, you may have to search for another gift worth at least 50 dollars.
So, who wins here?
