Over the years I have bought quite a few things online, I can't ever remember getting ripped off.

I purchase quite a bit online. Although I generally do not buy breakable items, my experiences have all been good.

Over the years I have purchased many items on line but I only do it with sites that allow me to return and ship the items for free.
sometimes i order online at target or walmart  but pickit up in store so if there is a problem I can return it at the store :wave: :peace:

We've had nothing but good experiences when ordering online so far.

I've bought lots of things online.  I have received a few items broken, not working etc., but have never had a problem returning them.  Just make sure you are buying from a reputable seller.

I have to say that I don't ever remember a time being ripped off buying something online. Yikes!

I mostly shop at Amazon and Walmart, and have pretty good luck there.

With Amazon, the items they ship always arrive in perfect condition. The only problem I've ever had with broken items have been when I've purchased from an Amazon Marketplace seller. But the returns process was pretty painless.

I had one order from WalMart that arrived in horrible condition, because the distribution center didn't put any padding inside the box at all. WalMart refunded my money and replaced all the dented items free.

Most of my experiences have been good....what I'd rather be doing is selling online.
