Digitals4shop's shopping tips
What should you do before you order?
Research the Web Site Before You Order.Do business with companies you already know. If the company is unfamiliar, do your homework before buying their products. If you decide to buy something from an unknown company, start out with an inexpensive order to learn if the company is trustworthy. Digitals4shop,being an authorized online retailer provides you with a higher level of protection for your goods and assures you the best possible service available online.
Reliable companies should advertise their physical business address and at least one phone number, either customer service or an order line. Call the phone number and ask questions to determine if the business is legitimate. Even if you call after hours, many companies have a "live" answering service, especially if they don't want to miss orders. Ask how the merchant handles returned merchandise and complaints. Find out if it offers full refunds or only store credits.
Are your Online payment really secure?
The padlock in your browser does NOT mean a website is safe. Often people do not fully understand that the padlock only means that you have a secure online connection and not that the website is safe. Click on the padlock to read the site's security message. It should have the name of the company. Make sure it is a name you can trust.- Before you make a payment, make sure your browser says "https://." and not just h"ttp://."- Newer browsers look for secure sites so your address bar may turn green or red. If it turns red-STOP!- When possible, use a trusted payment site such as Paypal.- Check the company with the online Better Business Bureau.Thankfully, most consumers are not held responsible for fraudulent purchases but in the long run we all end up paying. Besides that, there can be a lot of red tape involved in proving a purchase was fraudulent. It is better to take precautions before entering your credit card information than to be sorry afterwards.
When can I expect delivery of the item
A Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") rule states that if a seller says that a product will be shipped within a certain time, the seller must reasonably believe it will. If the seller doesn specify the time within which an item will be shipped, the seller must reasonably believe that it can be shipped within 30 days from the day the order is placed. If the seller can ship the goods within the stated or 30-day deadline, the seller must notify you, then give you a chance to cancel your order and receive a refund. Or, the seller can just cancel your order and refund your money.Violating these rules or regulations can expose a seller to legal action by the FTC, the Postal Service, and state law enforcement authorities. The FTC can assess penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation. These regulations do not apply to products ordered on a cash-on-delivery (C.O.D.) basis.
