Between mid-December and the early January Holiday Season it becomes very important to save money by using your time wisely. It is also a good idea to order supplies you might need for this tax season as early as possible. Often during this time of year people are frantically rushing around trying to prepare for the holidays and also trying to get their tax office(s) ready for the upcoming season. This creates a lot of stress, and usually adds significant costs to get it all done. To help alleviate some of the stress during this season here are a few tips and tricks that you can try out to help you get what you need, without having to break the bank to do it:
Amazon Prime
In case you don’t know by now, Amazon Prime is a huge time saver. This service allows you to order online, and ship most items to arrive in time with Free 2 Day shipping.
Ebay- Same State, or Nearby shipping
If you select Ebay stores/vendors who are closer to you, most items can be shipped with regular shipping, and will arrive quickly. Shipping times can be your ultimate downfall when it comes to getting everything you need in time.
Local Businesses
Utilize local businesses to source some of your office materials and supplies. Often times you can get what you need the same day. Each year holiday online sales increases while in-store declines. Take advantage and skip the shipping altogether.
Site to Store
Large chain stores like Wal-Mart, Target and others offer you the ability to make your purchases online, and have your items ready for pickup at your local store. This saves you both time and money.
Quick Ship Products
Many print shops have long production times simply because they have to produce your custom marketing on the spot. Many suppliers offer Quick Ship products that can be produced and shipped within 2-3 days after the order. Some even offer this perk at no additional charge. These types of products are a sure way to get everything you need in time for your season.
