Have a new pair of shoes in time for your big event at a fair price

Important events require a drop dead gorgeous outfit, and what outfit is complete without a bargain online shoes deal in Australia ? Many shoppers venture online for those less common styles that are sure to get noticed for all the right reasons. While there is plenty more choice this way, prices and more competitive and there is a market for the more niche, less mainstream styles,  it can create some unexpected delivery surprises if the fine print is overlooked.

Check the shipping rates and times for your online retailer before buying your new shoes to avoid disappointment. Shipping costs can be deceiving. The low prices on the site may only be for the standard post, with express options costing $20 or more. If you really need the product in a few days, then you may be willing to pay this. Sometimes, sites lure in customers with unbelievably low product costs and then recoup the losses in a whopping shipping charge. Before you get too hooked on your choices, check the shipping and returns policy.

Shipping is expensive for shoes because they are so heavy. If you see a couple of pairs that you like, you may be looking for ways to convince yourself that you need both. If you need another reason, consider that most retailers encourage multiple buys by only charging the single shipping cost. If you think about it, you are actually saving money… Maybe. 

Things can go wrong, orders can be misplaced and sizes can be sold out. For this reason, order in advance, with an estimated arrival time of at least a week before your event to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Double check before you add to cart that your size is actually in stock, or if there is a little disclaimer saying it is backordered. This will add days or even a week onto your estimated shipping time. Importantly, shipping estimates are just that; estimates. Read testimonials and feedback on social media for your retailer that you are buying from to see what other people have to say. A lot of negative feedback could mean that this estimate is inaccurate. However, keep in mind that all good feedback does not guarantee a stellar company as there is nothing to stop them deleting their negative reviews. 

The last tip is to track your package wherever possible. If it is delayed, you will know about it and can ask your customer service team about the problem. Also, when it is on board for delivery, you can arrange to be home that day to receive it. If your driver misses you, it might add an extra day in delays, plus you have to go and pick it up from the post office or depot.
