I always try to find items which qualify for free shipping (for orders over $35). I find that I don't really need to pay for 2-day shipping or anything faster, because my items were nearly always shipped within 2 days (most of them on the day after ordering), and they always arrive on the day following being shipped out. The fast shipping speed may be the result of me living in the Greater Toronto Area, near major distribution nodes or depots. Maybe they have the items I want in stock in the local depot by chance and don't need to ship them in from far away. I live in a condo therefore the chance of losing the parcel is small (I see most negative reviews here are from lost deliveries leading to slow refund or lack of acknowledgement of refund request).
