Safe Online Shopping Tips
How can you tell if an online company is legit when you're thinking of buying something? Well, there are some key things to look out for:
If you get an unsolicited email about a product from a company you don't know, then DEFINITELY do your homework before you buy. Check out their reputation, or see if the same product is available from an online business you trusts.
Since web addresses can change, look on the site for an address and phone number. Know where to complain or contact if you are dissatisfied or have a question. You might also want to review the Privacy Policy to make sure they won't sell your information to marketers.
Read the refund and return policy (if the website does not have one). Can the item be returned? What if it is opened? Is there a restocking fee? What about damaged merchandise.
If the site displays the BBB Online Reliability logo, click it and read the popup (hold your Ctrl key if you have a pop-up stopper) to make sure the company is currently participating.
Keep a record of your online purchase. Print out the page with the seller's name, address, and phone number. Print out the page about the item you ordered. Print any email confirmation messages you get and any follow-up messages about problems in shipping.
