• Try not to use obvious numbers like a birth date or phone number. Instead, when possible use combinations of letters and numbers.
• Make sure the online business delivers their items to the area you live in.
• Be diligent about maintaining the privacy of the passwords you create. Try to have some creativity when thinking of a password, and never divulge it to anyone.
• Bookmark the sites you make purchases from. If you wish to make future purchases or need to contact the company, you can easily go back to the site.
• If purchasing a gift, make sure there is time to spare to have the package arrive in time.
• Most internet stores charge a fee for shipping that changes with time - ie: if quick shipping isn’t necessary, cost of shipping will generally be less.
• Check for cost for delivery and how long it will take to arrive to see if they fit with your time-line and budget.
• Always keep a record of your order. Be sure to keep a copy that has been printed out of your confirmation number and your purchase order to keep for your records.
