Today, we are going to continue on secure online shopping topic. Besides log into secure online sites, credit card usage, and password issues, there are more secure or safety methods when purchse online.
Human always make mistakes. Thus, we need to double check the online form after typing in the amount of order. People may type in “11” instead of “1”. There are many online forms that will tell buyers the total price and amount of order. So, buyers are strongly recommended to check the items, quantities, and prices before confirming the order. Then, please check any confirmation e-mail that sent by seller. If there is any problem, notify the seller immediately.
Besides that, people may regret on what they have ordered. Some online shopping websites allow buyers to cancel orders but some not. For some websites, buyers can cancel the orders in a short period of time. However, if buyers did not act within that period of time, the order cannot be cancel. In this case, buyers are suggested to read the policy on “return” and react to it.
Then, buyers should keep a record on the orders made. Print and file a copy of the order form or confirmation letter in case you have a problem with it. The order form or confirmation form must indicate the items, quantities, prices, shipping costs, or even dates of delivery. By law, online businesses must deliver merchandise within 30 days of purchase or should notify you if there will be a delay.
Lastly, please remember that precautions are very important when you made online purchase. Just to tell you that “The Federal Trade Commission received 221,226 Internet fraud complaints in 2007” and we believe that there are more cases. Value your hard earned money, be careful when online shopping.
