Shopping for Appliances for your home can be a
nightmare.
How to shop safely online.
Dont get caught out by hidden charges
Check that the price you think you are paying includes VAT and delivery.
Also, some retailers may issue a small charge for paying by credit card.
Check for security
Its pretty rare nowadays for a website not to offer secure online ordering,
but you should check the page is secured before entering any personal details.
The easiest way to do it is by looking for the little padlock item at the bottom
of your browser and also 'https' at the start of the text in the address bar
(where you enter the address of a site). Usually only ordering pages need to
be secure.
Pay by credit card
Despite what you may have heard to the contrary, online fraud is very rare.
Usually credit cards offer you complete protection should your details ever
be used for a fraudulent transaction.
Tell others about your experience. The best word is the word of mouth.
What to do if it goes wrong.
Firstly, dont panic! Contact the retailer as there may be a
perfectly reasonable answer to your problem. You may also want
to contact the DTI, just to check
your rights as a consumer. If you suspect criminal activity, let your card
issuer know straight away so that they can hault the card and investigate
the matter.
Now you can access many stores and compare prices
without having to trawl through site after site. all you need to
do is click on the sites included in this page .... Happy shopping.
