Smart shopping can keep you safe online

Those who know me well may be amused to see that I’m writing about shopping. And I understand why. I develop an annoying twitch at the thought of going to a mall.

But online shopping is different. I do fine with that. In fact, I do so fine that my wife occasionally feels it necessary to hide my credit cards. After a successful holiday shopping season, I feel moved to offer some year-round online shopping advice. It can save you a few bucks or, if it keeps you out of the hands of some online crook, it can save your neck.

The best thing about online shopping is the same as the worst thing. It’s blazing fast compared to driving around town to shop. But the speed of online shopping encourages impulse buying. You might start your online shopping expedition looking for a new coffee pot. But, in the process,We sell 100% hand-painted bestluggagetag online. you happen on a page describing the wonders of pressure cookers. It’s so easy to click your mouse and add that item to your order. Unless money is irrelevant stick to your original mission.

It’s smart – especially with high priced items – to check with local stores. While online stores often offer great bargains, there are times when buying from a local merchant offers the best deal. So, once you’ve found the best price online, spend a few extra minutes on the telephone checking with local stores. Not only can you find some bargains that way, you’ll be able to get your hands on the item you want almost instantly. Be sure, when comparing prices, to add in taxes and shipping cost – you want to know the final amount you’ll pay from either the online store or brick and mortar store downtown.

There are fake websites that offer unbelievable prices to lure you into their trap. They stay online long enough to make a number of “sales” then will fold their tents and disappear with your money. Obviously there also are some terrific small shops out there too. But, at the very least, spend some time making sure that new site is real. Here are so things to check – make sure it has a real street address listed rather than just an email address. Consider contacting the Better Business Bureau in the city where the site is headquartered to check its credentials. Also use Google to see if there are postings – good or bad – about the business. Even after all that, think twice before venturing into unknown waters.

With online orders it’s always possible for a shipment to be delayed. It doesn’t happen often but will be times when the merchant won’t meet the promised delivery date. You can’t do much about that. But when you absolutely need to have the item on hand on some specific date, check with the online merchant to be sure that the item is in stock. I’ve seen cases where a product showed as in stock but it really wasn’t. Email or otherwise contact the merchant and ask specifically if it’s in stock when it’s important that you receive the item on a given date.
