Who doesn’t love a good bargain? Online shopping has opened up so many options, but sometimes it can feel like a lot to sift through. And if you’re ordering from abroad, shipping costs can take the fun out of a great deal. But don’t worry—we’ve got you covered with some easy ways to find the best online deals and save on international shipping with Viabox.

1. Check Out Price Comparison Sites

Instead of bouncing between different online stores, use price comparison sites like Google Shopping or PriceGrabber to see all the prices in one place. With a quick search, you can tell if a deal is as good as it looks or if there’s a better price somewhere else.

Tip: Look out for extra promo codes or special discounts—many retailers offer first-time buyer deals or extra savings if you’re subscribed to their newsletter.

2. Jump on Flash Sales and Holiday Discounts

Sales events like Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Amazon Prime Day are pure gold if you’re looking to save. These sales often extend internationally, so be sure to mark your calendar and be ready to grab those deals when they drop!

3. Join Loyalty Programs or Sign Up for Newsletters

Joining loyalty programs or signing up for newsletters at your favorite stores can give you access to exclusive discounts, early sales, and sometimes even free shipping. Those welcome discounts for signing up can come in handy!

Viabox Tip: If the store doesn’t offer international shipping, Viabox has your back. With our mail and package forwarding service, you can shop from U.S. retailers and have your purchases shipped affordably right to your door.

4. Use Coupon Codes and Cashback Sites

Before you hit “checkout,” check websites like Honey, RetailMeNot, or Rakuten for promo codes and cashback offers. Many of these tools make saving as easy as a single click, and with cashback options, you might earn a bit back on what you spend.

5. Cut Shipping Costs with Viabox

Let’s face it—shipping can be expensive, especially if you’re shopping internationally. That’s where Viabox comes in! Here’s how we can help you save big on shipping:

6. Follow Social Media and Deal Sites

Websites like Slickdeals and Brad’s Deals, along with social media pages for your favorite stores, are loaded with flash deals and last-minute sales. If you’re after a specific product, check these sites regularly to stay in the loop!

7. Use Price Tracking Tools
