Macy's official takeover of the Chicago landmark, Marshall Field's, featured the first debut of Halloween. A few stores, along State Street, showcased the first signs of ghosts, spider webs and scary creatures that would do their time until October 31. By gosh, it was only September 9th and we had already fast forwarded into Halloween.

Meanwhile, in two weeks, Halloween will be upon us once. To investigate the costume alternatives for the American consumer, AlertsForConsumers.com toured a couple of Halloween costume sites. Three Web sites were evaluated for cost, shipping, navigation and novelty of Halloween costumes. Here’s what we thought:


Best Shipping
We saw our share of Osama Bin Ladens and George W over the last five years. At costumes4Less, the site has an amazing selection for kids’ costumes. The Halloween costume site, Costumes4Less.com is literally an online catalog of outfits. This site won for best shipping price.

Easiest Navigation
At HalloweenMart.com, the navigation of site is easy to follow. Although the prices are nothing to write home about, the clearance and special pages feature quite unusual costumes. The best deal for the money is the Howard Stern look-a-like face on the site.



Complete Halloween Costume Ideas
AnniesCostumes.com shoppers have an abundant selection of costumes to choose from for babies, pets to adult costumes. For only $24.95, men can play Uncle Sam for Halloween. Although, the woman's version of ol' Sammy is quite naughty, the Sexy Sam costume sells for $52.95. And for the couple that must dress in matching attire, opt for the Plug and Socket. This Halloween fashion is a cross between, chic peppered with raunchiness but it's a great deal for only 55.95 (that's the sale price) .

Although Annie’s features affordable costumes, the customer pays in shipping costs. But the most convenient aspect of Halloween shopping at AnniesCostumes.com is that customers may track their outfit from the time it leaves Annie's until it the time it arrive at your home.

Halloween Costume Consumer tip: Wherever you purchase your costume online, remember to review the details of what’s included with your Halloween gear. Many of the sites feature a single that does not include all the accessories that make the costume authentic, complete and ready to wear.
