subject: Be Careful Dont Get Ripped Off When Online Shopping [print this page] Here are a few tips on what to you look for in an online shop, read before you make your first purchase? to make sure you don't get ripped off .....
The last thing you want is to get ripped off, that would definitely not be a good start to the day. So think before you enter your debit card or credit card details , first thing to check is does the web address starts with "https:". in this case the "s" is the stands for secure. This means the website is secure, and you are less likely to have your credit card details stolen or cloned
Get the best price
this always seems like an obvious one. But not all shops will sell the product you're after at the anyway near the same price, so the thing to do is try lots of different web sites, so you eventually get the best deal.
Choose one a well known brand preferably with a well known shop.
although you probably haven't even thought about customer service with many of your purchases, but if something you buy something like a television or mobile phone, it is always better to if you have a well known shop to take it back to. If you purchased your product from a web based site which has high-street shops, it is usually much easier to get a replacement or repair.
a store which will still be around in a few months
Ideally expensive purchases should be from an on-line shop which has been around for quite a while . You might save a few pounds by going for a cheaper online shop which nobodies ever heard of, but what happens a few months down the line when your nice new television develops a problem, and the web site has disaperes? its usually worth spending a bit more to get the customer service you require
Choice... lots of it please
Lastly, i always make sure that i have lots of choice so choose the right shop ideally one which has a large choice. It's all well and good having cheap items , but if they haven't got what you really want , you might end up buying something which you don't want, just because it's availiable and cheap.
