What should I be aware of before buying office supplies online

Can All My Supplies Be Bought Online?

If you buy all your goods online, take into account that you will likely need to pay shipping or freight fees. You should also be aware of what your supplier's return policy is. It can be difficult to ascertain if something has all your prerequisites (such as a storage cabinet) by looking at it. Seeing the item in person may be the best way to shop for some of your items.

Shipping costs are calculated by both weight and package size, so ordering a stack of storage boxes online may not be as cost-effective as simply driving down to the retail store.

The Internet is a great tool for ordering all types of office supplies, but if you plan to purchase large or bulky products, you may be able to save money by avoiding adding boxes or packing peanuts to your order.

Familiarize yourself with the policies of your online supplier so that there are no surprises with shipping fees or nonreturnable goods and restocking fees.
