Remember to:

  • Keep track of when your items are set to ship. Most retailers ship within 30 days of purchase unless otherwise specified.
  • Pay by credit card for extra protection. This will prevent you from paying for things you ordered but didn’t get, or for fraudulent sales in your name.
  • Read the reviews for a company. Doing this before buying will give you a better understanding of their reputation and business practices.
