Where to Buy Your Eco-Friendly Gadgets
aI’ve been doing some research to help you choose which is the best site to buy your eco-friendly products from, I will be looking at 5 sites:
http://www.itmustbegreen.co.uk/
http://www.nigelsecostore.com/
http://www.thegreenstoreonline.co.uk/
http://www.allthingsgreen.net/
I will be comparing things like prices on similar items, delivery costs and how long your product will take to reach you, these will then be ranked to help you to see which is the best to buy from.
Between the companies, we compared solar powered products, a solar phone charger, 3 of the 5 companies were selling the same charger, the other 2 only sold one type of charger.
Coming 5th in my rankings was: All Things Green
All Things Green sold the charger for £64.99, the highest out of all the sites, they also had one of the longest delivery times at 3-5 days, they also did not offer postage reductions if you spent over a certain amount.
In 4th place was: Nigel’s Eco Store
This is one of the stores that had a very poor selection of chargers, only one, and that one was priced at £54.99, the postage costs were reasonable at £2.13 for our item.
The store does have a offer where if you spend over £75 you get free postage, but £75 is a high amount. The delivery for the products was reasonable too, 1-2 days.
In 3rd place was: Gizoo
Gizoo was the other store which had a poor selection of solar chargers, only one, but this charger was the cheapest at £29.95, they offered free delivery if you spent over £30, unfortunately for us our item was only £29.95, I would rather pay the extra 5p to get the free delivery 
The postage was reasonable at £2.95, not the cheapest though.
In second place was: It Must Be Green
They sold the solar charger for £59.99 and they offered the lowest postage costs at only £1.95, although they didn’t have any free delivery offers, £1.95 is rather reasonable. The delivery itself would take about 2-3 days which is not the lowest but neither the highest.
Rolling in at first place was: The Green Store Online
The Green Store Online sold the solar charger for £59.95, the cheapest of the three that sold this charger, they also had one of the lowest delivery times coming in at 1-2 days. Although they state that delivery costs can be a maximum of £4.95 (depending on size, weight and type of postage) they offer a free delivery on orders over £45, which is our case we would get free delivery 
So that was my top 5 eco-friendly products, I hope you found it useful for when you buy your next eco-friendly product.
