How to shop online

As online shopping is both convenient and comprehensive, it is becoming more and more common all over the world and becoming an important part of our lives. As a new college student and an international student, shopping is a significant part when we come to a new environment.  For new college students, it may be the first time we leave our family and need to do everything ourselves, including buying things. However, there are so many online shopping websites on google, how to choose the one that is the most appropriate for us? In this article, I will simply introduce the common online shops in America and provide some tips for shopping online.

 

The first is about your ID. We need to register for an ID when you enter a website for shopping. This usually needs an e-mail address for registration. I recommend students to use an e-mail that they won’t use for important things because there will be lots of advertisement sending to your email.

 

Then we need to choose a suitable website to buy things.

1, Amazon

You can find almost everything here! It is like TaoBao in China. And the operation is also easy: Enter the thing you are looking for in the search field and choose the one you want.

2, Yamibuy

A website selling Asian products. You will love it if you come from Asia because you can find what you meet in your hometown/\.

3, Urban Outfitters

This website includes all kinds of cloths. There will be more choices here than other websites.

4, Sephora

This website is famous especially in girls. You can buy quality makeup and skincare products here.

 

 

 

 

But facing so many sellers and similar products on the internet, it is difficult to choose the one you will pay for it. So there are other three websites I recommend for you.

 

Google Shopping       

Type the product information in the search field, you can see the lowest price of the product on the market. Besides,  things like shipping fees, customer evaluations will also show on the website. You can also see the competitor price of the same/similar products. Google Shopping can even recommend the lowest-priced item in your neighborhood based on your location so that you can get it as quick as possible.

PriceGrabber         

This website is similar to Google Shopping. Directly type what you looking for in the search column, then the website will list the lowest price of the product and the information of the sellers.

 

Three camels (camelcamelcamel.com)

This website is dedicated to finding the historical prices for Amazon Deal, making it easy to see if the current price is the best or not.

 

There are a lot of choices to shop online. And there are many more useful websites in spite of what I introduce. You will group your way forward after you spend your time in college. I hope this article can help you with the very first time you come to college.
