• Make sure the online business can send items to the area you live in.

• Check for length of time to be delivered and associated shipping fees to see if they fit with your time-line and budget.
• Record the items you purchase. Be sure to print yourself out a copy of your confirmation number and your purchase order to keep for your records.
