subject: What You Need To Know About Buying Toys Online [print this page] Youre walking through the toy store with your sweet little cherub, who is acting, at that moment, like anything but. Youve got to buy a birthday present for his friend at school, but progress is slow as your little treasure wants to pick up, throw, investigate and turn on the sound of almost every item he passes. In a wake of squawking realistic prehistoric birds and an avalanche of lego you suspect he may have caused, you end up grabbing the first semi-decent toy you can find, regardless of the exorbitant price-tag or the fact that its made for 7 year-olds and the partys for a four-year-old. Toy shopping, in spite of the fun and joy it conjures up in popular imagination, can be a heinous, tedious and soul-destroying ordeal. OK, perhaps I am being a tad melodramatic, but thats because there is a much, much easier way to go about buying toys: Shop online!
Heres everything you should know before you start:
Know your delivery times
Before you buy anything online, check how long their delivery times are. Usually there will be a few options in regard to shippingyou can ask for express postage which will get it anywhere in Australia within a day or two, or you can settle for regular mail which could take up to a week. If youre ordering toys from overseas you should allow extra time, and its always best not to leave it to the last minute just in case theres a hold-up! Kids are especially unforgiving about people who show up to their parties empty-handed
Compare Prices
One of the best things about buying toys online is that you dont have to traipse from one store to another to compare prices, you can do it from the comfort and safety of your living room! Much easier on the shoes (and the wallet), you can see the difference in pricing from a range of online stores and choose the one thats the best value!
Find the Un-findable!
Another thing to remember is that the internet is the worlds biggest database of anything you could possibly think of, so if theres something particular you or your child wants that youve been unable to locate, heres your chance! Think limited-edition, movie props, vintage toys from the era of your childhood and anything else you can think ofuse your online toys experience to fulfill those childhood dreams.
