A couple more tips for saving money with online shopping:
Freeshipping.org and RetailMeNot keep a running list of online retailers offering free shipping and their codes.
Shop at sites that allow returns (preferably, both online and in their physical stores) – and, better yet, where you don’t have to pay for shipping to return the item. Macy’s, ShopBop and RevolveClothing usually offer prepaid shipping labels to customers who are unsatisfied with their purchase.
