In-Store Pickup to Save on Shipping Costs
I refuse to pay shipping fees when it comes to ordering online, only because the items I am purchasing may not work out. If I end up returning the item, I'll be at a loss of the non-refundable shipping fee. I usually wait when there are promotions to order online and receive free shipping.
