    I usually go with the cheapest option.

    I don't care if it takes a few weeks to get here - I'm not gonna die if I don't have the next day.

    Waited for four months to get something from ebay once, of course I blame the seller for that one..

    I rarely buy stuff through online markets and the such. But if I had to, I would go would the cheapest, as well.

    Cheapest option. Money is tight... yo

    Chances are I want it, but I don't need it, so I can live for a couple of weeks when I'm waiting.

    If it's something I want RIGHT NOW or need RIGHT NOW, then I go somewhere locally to buy it or do without it. I don't typically buy things online, but when I do..I go for the cheaper option. Now if it's gonna take a month to get here, I'll pay to rush it along the shipping side, but that depends on how fast the processing of my order is.

    Usually the cheapest option. My last online purchase was Pokemon HeartGold back in April, and I received it a week after I ordered it. ^_^

    Moderate speed and moderate price.
    But if it's from Japan or something, that I'd buy the most expensive, and fastest option.

    Like others have said, I go with the cheapest option. I don't mind if it doesn't come the next day, I can wait.

    I've never paid for some two day option it's kind of ridiculous the prices, so I usually stick with the free or regular shipping which takes one-two weeks I guess on average.

    I just go with the standard option they have, most of the items I look at just have 7-10 business days so there is really not much of cheaper or more expensive. I could do express shipping and get either the next day or next three days but there is nothing I need that bad to order something express.

    I would LOVE if I could have it shipped overnight, but sadly, I don't want to have to pay more then 20$ just for shipping charges... so slow and cheap is my only option :/

    I'm a poor college student, so I usually go the slow, cheap route. Only exception was the cosplay outfit I bought recently, since I needed it in time for an anime convention that's coming up in two weeks. Fortunately, it's already here.

    Most things though, I can wait if it's gonna save me a few bucks.

    Generally I hate buying things online simply for the reason that you have to wait. I wish I could go for the Express shipping that gets you it in like, 1 business day, but that is really expensive. I usually just go for standard shipping. It's the only two options I've ever come across anyway.

    But I usually avoid online shopping altogether, cause I love getting stuff in-store immediately. Unfortunately, the selection online is generally much larger than a store one, so. :(

    I usually pick the option that is somewhere in between. I don't like to spend to much money in shipping, but I'm not pacient enough to wait for some weeks.
