Buying a Fridge Online - How to Spot the Best Deals

Looking for the best deals on fridges online 

Most people don’t know you can get fantastic deals for fridges online, if you’re prepared to do a bit of patient shopping and hunt around. The online retailers are highly competitive, particularly among each other, and they keep their prices down as far as possible. When you’re shopping for major items like refrigerators, you can save a lot of money upfront.

Fridge shopping- The science of getting good deals
There are various ways of finding the fridge you want:

• Brand name shopping- This is shopping by checking out specific name brands. It’s a good way to get a clear picture of prices, sizes, and values. Even if you don’t buy the fridges, you’ll soon see what’s a good price and what’s not for the various brands and sizes of fridges.


• Shopping by price- A bit more time consuming but worthwhile, shopping in your budget bracket is a good way of investigating the market. You can also find some good marked down deals online, so you’re likely to spot a bargain.


• Shopping by type of fridge- If you’re looking for a particular type of fridge like a big three door family fridge, this is a quick, simple approach. You can also use the brand name approach to check out the different options and features.


• Package deals- You can sometimes find fridges and other types of appliances as part of a package deal. These can be really excellent value, sometimes including blenders and other kitchen equipment.


• Single brand shopping- A very simple way of checking out a range of fridges, you can for example confine your search to LG fridges, and find the right LG fridge.


• Comparison shopping- The best online retailers provide a “compare” feature so you can match your choices and check out the differences more clearly. This is very useful if you’re having difficulty making a decision.

Information and inquiries

You may not get all the information you need while shopping. A lot of fridges come with features like different freezer capacity, and sometimes size differences can be in odd-looking measurements like 129 litre or 466 litre, useful no doubt for experts but not necessarily for people looking for a fridge they can fit into their kitchens. You may or may not understand the importance of a top or bottom mount freezer. You can inquire online about these issues, and learn a bit more in the process. The online retailers are quick to respond and usually provide the information you need pretty quickly.

Delivery and other options

Delivery charges should be clearly shown upfront on the product page. Delivery costs may or may not include conditions or discounts based on the value of goods purchased. Delivery schedules and times are the main issues here, but you can usually arrange for your fridge to be delivered at a time suitable for you.  

Another option for consumers- Some online retailers will also pick up old fridges. A charge may apply, but it solves the problem and saves time hauling the old fridge away.

Now all you have to do is find excuses to stock the new fridge with all your favorite foods and drinks.
