Combine your orders to shop a little greener and save on shipping

If you are a veteran online shopper, you’re probably familiar with free shipping. Spend a certain amount of money, and the retailer will ship your items for free. It may take a few days longer to get your order, but your pocket book will thank you.

There’s another good reason to combine your orders: it makes your shopping a little greener. Say you’re ordering three DVDs from Amazon.com – those would easily fit in one box. Shipping them separately means more packaging, more waste, and more energy spent.












Want to be greener still? Ship them to a KinekPoint Depot! Chances are the courier delivering your package already has to stop by a KinekPoint location and, if the courier tries you at home and misses, you’ll likely have to drive out to their depot to retrieve your package – using more fuel in the retrieval of your shopping.

You can't put a price on love

Retailer's worried about the effects of the economy on their Valentine's Day sales may have a reason to breathe a little easier. Discover® Card's Fourth Annual Valentine's Day Shopping Survey revealed only a drop of 2% in planned shopping budgets over 2008 figures. More surprising is the fact that women may actually plan to spend more money this year.
