If I am online shopping .....not necessarily Stoves.

I look at Product price, however I prefer to use a search where the combined product price and shipping are totalled and so you get the cheapest "package" price.

 

Saying all of this...I also apply a distance defined search criteria as I'd rather collect where possible to avoid any damage by transportation and the opportunity to meet face to face the distributor in the hope of future dealings.

It very much depends on the cost and weight of the item being sourced.

Why would I baulk at refusing to pay the carriage on a heavy expensive stove, since it is an unavoidable cost.

However buying miscellaneous small stuff off ebay, I will scan for the "free"(or rather actually included) postage vendors. 

SINCE some vendors are simply con artists in respect of their undeclared(until checkout) postage rates, especially when compared to the value and weight of the item being purchased.

Simple.  Always look at the total cost -because that's what I'm going to pay.

 

But I NEVER buy on price alone.  Happy to pay a bit more if I know the company has a reputation for good advice/service.

 

That's especially true if it's something that I'm only ever going to 'buy once' or 'buy very occasionally'.
