online shopping
« on: November 11, 2014, 07:17:32 am »
I try not to buy from a company that has no toll free number or any number listed on their website at all.
Sometimes, when I buy something, the company will send me the merchandise without telling me (by email) that it has shipped. If I do have a bad experience with an online merchant, I go shopping elsewhere the next time.

That is crazy.  I would not shop from a website that did not have a way to contact them other than a form where you don't know where and who they are.  And they are not required to tell you when it ships.  You ordered it so you should know it is coming.

Be very careful. There many bogus sites out there. I wouldn't shop with a company online that doesn't provide a toll-free number. Always make sure the site has https in the browser; that means that your sensitive information will remain safe.
