When you check out, you sign into your account and all of your information is remembered. If you are a new member, you must create an account. They will ask you the normal questions, like address, phone number, name, Zip Code, and your credit card number. Checking out is easy and painless.

Shipping: During checkout they will ask you for the shipping option you want. You can choose from Standard Shipping, Overnight, Second Day Air and International. Standard usually ships in 3 to 10 days after you place your shipment. Overnight shipping usually ships in, you guessed it, overnight. Second Day shipping usually comes in 2 days after you place your order. I haven’t shipped Internationally yet, but according to Buy.com, it ships in 10 to 13 days after you place your order. If you are in the UK, Buy.com has a separate site for you.

Standard Shipping Prices: Depending on the cost or weight of your item(s) is the cost of shipping for that item(s). Average prices are $4 for most things and $10 for TVs and other large items.

2nd Day Air: Again, the cost of shipping depends on the price and weight of you item(s). Most item(s) ship for $7 and TV and other large items cost around $13.

Overnight: The most expensive domestic shipping, but is good if you are in a rush. Like the other shipping options, price of shipping depends on the price or weight of the item(s). Most items cost $10 and heavy items like TVs cost $15

International Shipping: Like I said, I haven’t shipped internationally yet so I don’t know the prices. Buy.com won’t tell you the price of shipping unless you fill out the order form so they know where you are shipping your item(s).

Buy.com is the best shopping site on the web for most items. It has great selection and is easy to use.
