Internet Shopping Tips

Shopping online is now generally considered safe and secure.

Here's some tips to make sure your experience is a good one:

• Don't be afraid to use your credit card or check card at a secured site if you are using a secure browser like Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Explorer, or America On Line.
• Look for the padlock icon on your browser's status bar which indicates that the page is encrypted to make sure transmission of your information is secure and cannot be intercepted.
• Shop with catalog companies you know or have been recommended.
• Make sure you know their online refund and exchange policies before you order anything
• Proof your order carefully before submitting it.
• Don't give out your password or any personal information other than card #, name, address, and phone number.
• Check for Privacy Statements and read them.
• Print out and keep a hard copy of your order.
