Shopping Online.... Even for Kitchen Cabinets - By: Gary Nealon

These days the best place to buy anything at a great price is online. A good example is EBay. This site sells millions of items each day at a discount price; when compared to prices at a retail store. Plus, it is easy to shop online and quite convenient when you consider that the items will be delivered to your front door. Also now with secure websites (that guarantee purchases) or with the ease and security of a credit card purchase, the time of being scared to buy something on the internet is long past. People buy everything online, so I thought, why not kitchen cabinets?

The first thing I did was some research. I found that there are basically two different types of kitchen cabinets. Assembled and un-assembled (the industry term is "RTA"- meaning ready to assemble). The prices on these types of cabinets varied greatly and I concluded that it is a much better to purchase the RTA kitchen cabinets and assemble them myself. Note- I also found that these RTA kitchen cabinets are easy to assemble and of good quality. (Stay away from any RTA kitchen cabinets that are made of particle board).

Now with the type of cabinet out of the way, I decided on some further research into who is selling these RTA products. What I found was amazing. There are hundreds of sites selling this type of product. After some more fact finding I realized that the best sites were almost at the top of any first page of a search engine. (I used search engines like MSN, Google, and Lycos). The reason I said "almost at the top" was because I was almost tricked into clicking on the very top listing. I then realized (after a little more research) that the top three listings of a search engine are paid listings. (This is how these search engines make money). Yes, it is unfair because the truly best websites that deserves to come up first on a search-- are not at the very top. Instead, look below the top and you will see the non-paid searches. These will stand out from the paid searches. (The real websites are usually about three or four down from the top)

Why is this important? It is very important because the real searches are more of what you are actually looking for; as opposed to the paid searches that are not as good of a website. Not as good meaning that these sites do not have better pricing or value, instead they have PAID to be at the top, so their sites are not the best web address for your particular product. And in this case the product is RTA kitchen cabinets.

This is where I found the door buster deals on kitchen cabinets. The best RTA sites are at the top of the non paid searches. I found some spectacular deals that made me feel like I was shopping on Black Friday once again! These door buster deals were never ending. The kitchen cabinets are about thirty percent less than all retail stores and were of better quality -- when compared to the lesser RTA kitchen cabinet sites. I saved over a thousand dollars on my kitchen and then decided to use the savings on RTA bathroom vanities. Yes, the good RTA sites have bathroom vanities as well. And the savings were just as good.
