Free shipping? Isn’t that every girl’s dream. To live in a country where a very few international brands have their own stores, is hard. But it’s even harder to live in a country where the ‘good’ stuff are incredibly expensive to buy. What’s more frustrating is to have to live in a country where you usually need to pay twice the price of the product, just to get it couriered to your doorstep. Beautiful Lanka, intriguing really. Your average package delivery charges only would cost you about a $10 to $20 if you’re lucky, or more, depending on what shipping line you choose. We gawk online on Kate Spade or Zara or even the smaller and more affordable sites, wishing that it shipped our clothes, shoes and handbags right to our doorstep for free. Well, eBay does the deal, but what about the rest of them? What we find on sites like ebay.com or amazon.com or alibaba.com are usually the same old we see every time we log into them. We monotonously scroll down, only to find ourselves looking at the same pair of sandals we saw 5 minutes ago. It’s the time of the year where your favourite online stores decide to go on a wipe out clearance sale, some of them as high up to 70% off. Guess what? We’ve come up with two sites that offer absolutely free shipping*! Keep scrolling to find out more.
*Free shipping is only entitled for purchases over a certain rate. Chill, the benchmark amount isn’t as high as you think it is!

ASOS – asos.com
ASOS is definitely a personal favourite. This site doesn’t require any introduction. The moment you lay your eyes on it for the first time, trust me, you are bound to keep coming for more. Spending hours of my time going through handbags, sandals or even some really cool beauty products they have is something I do pretty much most of my time. ASOS is every shopaholic’s online procrastination dream. Word of caution: their incredibly vast collection will leave your cards empty when you’re done. If you’re lucky enough and do check them out immediately, maybe you too can enjoy the clearance sale they’ve got going where you can find your favourite products on sale as high up to 70% off! ASOS is like the mother of all street fashion sites, she owns the top place in my go-to online shopping places, and probably yours too by the time you’re done shopping.
Well most of the time, the guys are left out cause sites that offer as attractive prices or shipping rates as this one, don’t really cater to the men. Don’t be disheartened boys, ASOS.com is your knight in shining armour. From blazers to shoes, they’ve got your wardrobe essentials covered!
Shipping Rates: Shipping is absolutely FREE for orders over £20.00 (that’s about Rs. 4200) or otherwise it only costs you as low as £3.00 (Rs. 630) if your order is less than £20! If you thought this is great, well you’d be more surprised to hear their time span for delivery, just 2 weeks! Guess you wouldn’t have to wait for over a month again, like you’d have to do with eBay!

TOBI – tobi.com
Tobi.com is a on the quality clothes but a tad bit pricey end of the scale. They don’t offer free shipping unless your total is at least Rs.14,386.18 to be exact (according to the conversion rates when I wrote the article). But standard shipping if it’s below the said amount would just cost you only Rs. 1,500. Sadly though, the boys wouldn’t really find anything for themselves in here, but the girls are going to go crazy over their shoes and outwear!
What’s even more exciting is the fact that they offer a flat 50% of your first order, all you got to do is to enter your email address and sign up as a member! If this isn’t enough, they have a 30% off the new arrivals up to a 7 days from when the collection is launched to the site. They also have seasonal campaigns, like the end of season sale ongoing at the moment where a wide range out outwear are for a flat 70% off! It’s your dream site. Right now, in head with the super bowl there is a storewide campaign where products are a 50% off when you use the promo code score50. (It ends tomorrow, 09.02.2016 so hop onto the site ASAP!)
Shipping Rates: Free shipping for a total of over Rs. 14,350. Standard shipping (2-4 weeks) will cost you about a Rs. 1,500 but if you need your products faster, you can opt for Expedited shipping which can guarantee the product at your doorstep within 1-2 weeks! But, this will cost you more than twice the price of the standard shipping rates! (Rs. 4,298)
