Shopping Tips

• Watch out for shipping costs. A patch can be shipped very cheaply, but some sites charge a set shipping fee for all purchases, such as $4.95 for orders under $25 or $3 for the first item and $1 for each additional item. You can look elsewhere for sites with cheaper shipping, but when it comes to collectibles, sometimes you just have to have it, no matter what the cost. Even if this is your attitude, you can still save money by consolidating orders and purchasing multiple items to take advantage of flat-rate shipping costs and additional-item discounts.
• When shopping online, make sure you only order from secure sites. Look for a URL starting with https or a locked padlock icon on your browser before submitting financial details.
• When purchasing from individual buyers, look for feedback whenever possible to see if he or she is a trustworthy seller.
• If you're paying through PayPal, pay with a credit card. This will allow you to do a chargeback if your product never arrives.
