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.
