The "Gift Center" and
the "Shopping Center" were designed as a safe, quick and easy way for
busy professionals to find online quality products at bargain prices. Most
people have long known the financial advantages of buying online, but you may
want to check by yourself. Many first-time Net shoppers worry about hackers,
unscrupulous vendors but the hype outweighs the actual danger. Here are some
tips to help you make sure you're really getting a good deal.
1-Who is the
merchant?
Nobody can be familiar with all the companies doing business on the net,
so we did some research and have weed out unreliable vendors or companies with
average performance from our selection. All our vendors are U.S. based and have
an outstanding reputation for quality products with fast and accurate shipping
and excellent customer service. Most of them are now the leaders in e-commerce
such as Jacksons & Perkins, Gardener's Supply Company, Bonsai Boy of New
York, Yard Mart...
2-Check the
retail price
This may seem obvious, but compare the prices. You'll need to know exactly what
you're looking for and check the prices before you buy. We know it's kind of a
pain, so we are always hunting for bargains and display only competitive items,
but do your homework and look around. Sometimes the lowest price doesn't mean
the best deal. For big-ticket purchases such as electronics, a warranty with a
reliable company is your best protection if something goes wrong.
3-Don't forget
the shipping cost
A few of our vendors are shipping, free of charge, in the U.S. but
policies are changing from time to time. So, check the total amount you will be
charged during your check-out and find out how long it's going to take for your
order to arrive. Remember, shipping cost are offset by the convenience of
shopping from home.
4-Is your
privacy protected?
YES. All our vendors have a Privacy Policy and your personal information is
safe. In most cases, name, credit card number, shipping and billing addresses
are the only information our vendors will require to take your order.
5-Always
pay by Credit Card
With a credit card, any loss due to fraud is limited by law to $50, and most
credit card companies will cover your entire loss. Many cards also offer some
measure of consumer protection, letting you challenge charges for unsatisfactory
merchandise.
6-What type
of ordering is safe?
There are very few proven instances of credit card fraud online, but to be safe
submit sensitive information only on a secure site. To confirm that you are on a
secure server, look for an unbroken key or padlock at the bottom of the browser
window when you're typing your credit card number. These symbols mean that the
information you are sending is encrypted. All our vendors have secure servers.
7-Print out
a copy of your order and keep it
It's important to keep records on old-fashioned paper. Print out and file any
records related to the transaction. It will help you to remember what you
ordered, its description, delivery date and the vendor name, address, e-mail and
phone number.
Follow these commonsense tips, and you'll have nothing to fear. We took the time
filtering out and checking the best online stores to select the hottest
products.
