Tips for making purchases and buying:

• 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 store can send items to the area you live in.
• Be diligent about maintaining the privacy of your individual passwords. Try to have some creativity when thinking of a password, and don’t tell anyone else what it is.
• Bookmark the places you buy items at. If you wish to make future purchases or need to contact the company, it will be easy to find them again.
• If purchasing a gift, make sure there is time to spare for the item to arrive at your house or theirs.
• 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 charges and delivery times to see if they fit with your time-line and budget.
• Always keep records. Be sure to keep a copy that has been printed out of your confirmation number and your purchase order to keep for your records.
