GOG sells DRM-free PC games as digital downloads, and its GOG GALAXY app installs them once they're on your account, so there's no shipping to factor in.
Saving at GOG is mostly about timing: Weekly Deals rotate every week, and the games made in Poland promotion lists titles at up to 90% off.
GOG.com's catalog mixes new releases with older titles tagged Good Old Games, across genres such as RPGs, strategy, city builders, platformers and shooters, and US shoppers see prices in USD. Next to the paid games, the store lists free mods, among them editions packaged as GOG One-click Mods.
The company also runs the GOG Preservation Program and a GOG Patrons membership that asks players to help keep classic games alive. Community areas include forums, the GOG Dreamlist and a Classics Vault. Games can be bought as gifts and delivered to the recipient's email address, and game codes are redeemed on the website or inside GOG GALAXY. GOG's support team says it tries to answer every message within 24 hours.

GOG shipping, returns and perks
What GOG sells
DRM-free PC games delivered as downloads, with the GOG GALAXY app for installing them.

Requests start on your account's Order History page. The refund window wasn't on the pages read, so check GOG's support centre refund policy before buying.

Support
GOG's support team aims to answer every message within 24 hours.
Sales tax
Added at checkout wherever it applies, so the total can end up above the listed price.
GOG's redeem page at gog.com/redeem, and the matching "Redeem GOG code" option in GOG GALAXY, are for game codes: a code that adds a title to your account.
The pages read don't describe a separate discount box at checkout, and the games made in Poland promotion is a plain deal, shown at up to 90% off with no code involved.
That makes the sale price the main lever.
Because sales tax is added at checkout where it applies, compare the final total with the deal price before paying, especially when a game is a gift sent to someone else's email.

Buying a game as a gift lets you pass a sale price on to a friend by email.
