Seven Habits Of Effective Online Shopper
March 23rd 2009 09:30
Why shop online? Compared to brick-and-mortar stores, online stores are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The selection at the big web shopping sites, especially for books and music, can be much larger than at your local stores. If you have ever circled the web or window-shopped online, think about the wealth of merchandise and the ease of shopping even in your pajamas in the middle of the night.
Here are some tips culled from the Better Business Bureau’s web site and issues of Consumer Reports, to help you get the most out of your online shopping experience:
Habit # 1 : Use comparison sites and shopping bots wisely.
Habit # 2 : Watch those shipping costs.
Habit # 3 : Determine the company’s refund and return policies before you place an
order.
Habit # 4 : Always use a credit card to order.
Habit # 5 : Save a copy of your confirmation/receipt.
Habit # 6 : Order from secure, well-known businesses and establish a relationship.
Habit # 7 : Shop with a coupon/discount if possible or use charitable portals.
