Buy Webkinz at the Best Prices

It's no secret, webkinz are the hot ticket with kids between the ages of 5-13! With Christmas around the corner, parents everywhere are going to buy webkinz for their children and will be looking for the best deals online.

Although you can generally find webkinz for sale at places like Hallmark and other various gift and specialty shops, often times they have a limited selection or are simply sold out.

These days, more and more people are turning to the internet to make their purchases. It beats having to search all over town for what you want and fighting traffic getting there, especially during the holidays! When buying what you want is only a click away, often times cheaper, and easier to get exactly what you want, ordering online is hard to pass up and hard to beat when compared to shopping in the stores!

We've compiled a short list of the best places online to buy webkinz. We hope this list will save you time and most importantly money! Each site listed with webkinz for sale were graded on the criteria below. The criteria used was based on actual purchases of at least one webkinz pet from each site.

- Competitive Prices: We looked for sites selling at the current average market price and below. Sites were awarded more points for below average price, discounts offered, discounted or free shipping, special discounts when spending a certain amount of money, and a policy of matching lowest prices at competing sites.

- Inventory: Sites scored more points for having a complete inventory In Stock, ready to ship! This included the webkinz in higher demand compared to the commons.

- Buying Experience: This entailed a user friendly website, if the products were easily located, a quick and easy checkout, and a follow up page detailing your purchase information and important details.

- Customer Service: Basically we had no negative issues in making purchases from any of the sites listed here. In order to get a general idea of customer service, we sent emails to each site with inquiries and questions regarding the site, the products, and general webkinz information.

- Receiving Products: Here we looked at delivery options, how quickly our order was delivered, and condition received.

Below we display the sites we found to be the best places online to buy webkinz starting with our #1 pick. Again, this list is based on our personal purchase experience with these sites using the above concerns. There were about a dozen or so sites "tested" but we have only listed those sites we feel are the best and are actually still currently purchasing from. We will continue to update our list regularly. We have included special discount and coupon links where applicable.

Luckily for us we discovered that they also sell Webkinz! Jake's has a full selection of Plush Webkinz and Lil'kinz available. Their prices are the average going price or slightly cheaper.

#3 Amazon.com: Amazon.com is our #3 pick for buying webkinz online. Basically everyone is familiar with Amazon online by now. They have everything you can imagine for sale. What we like about Amazon is the trusted, well established name/company. There certainly is no issue with Amazon when it comes to worrying about whether or not you're dealing with a fly by night online store, lack of customer service, return policy, etc.

When it comes to webkinz, Amazon just about has all the webkinz items and accessories. Their prices are about average at times being slightly higher compared to other online shops. For some, paying the extra dollar or two is an acceptable trade off for peace of mind in knowing who you're dealing with and that you're getting what you pay for.

So far, the other great thing about Amazon is they seem to always have their inventory in stock which is a real plus when trying to find the hard to get in demand webkinz! We haven't found any decent discounts to speak of with Amazon so they remain our 3rd stand in and go to store to buy webkinz when everyone else is out of stock on particular webkinz items.
