Online Shopping for the Holidays Each Year online sales grow dramatically If you don’t shop online, you should Many retail stores now have online sales Sales tax issue is still in dispute Will never replace retail stores, but will probably cause them to change the way they do business. By Phil Goff Branch 116 November 17, /17/2011

Online Shopping for the Holidays Advantages of Online Shopping You get to see a complete array of items, not just the one or two a store carries You can read reviews by prior customers to see if something lives up to it’s claims Many times you don’t pay sales tax (although that is likely to change.) You can shop when you want, not just during store hours. Shipping is fast and reliable. (You can track delivery.) Returns can be made without waiting in lines. Online stores retain your invoice for you. You don’t have to go to the store. 211/17/2011

Online Shopping for the Holidays Security Credit card theft almost never occurs on the internet I use Costco’s American Express. If there is a problem within 60 days, just tell A/E not to pay the bill. Organizations like PayPal act as a broker and can be used with eBay to protect your card number from a small retailer 311/17/2011

Photography Shutterfly, Costco, Snapfish and Kodak Calendars Coffee Mugs Notepads (only $7.99 for a nice pad) Photostamps (cost ~ 90 cents each) Mousepads Online Shopping for the Holidays 411/17/2011

Online Shopping for the Holidays Most Popular Website is Amazon.com Amazon sells everything so go there first. Generally purchases over $25 have free shipping. If it comes from Amazon then no sales tax. Amazon has a great Wish List function so ask relatives to build a Wish List. Amazon offers a browser add-in so that your wish list can reference other websites! Works in Chrome, IE, Firefox and Safari. 711/17/2011

Popular Items at Amazon.com Cameras and accessories. Check dpreview.com for unbiased camera recommendations. Magazine subscriptions. Amazon carries all magazines at competitive subscription prices. Amazon gift certificates are quite popular. Ebooks for those who own Kindles. Online Shopping for the Holidays 811/17/2011

Online Shopping for the Holidays Don’t overlook eBay.com Sells many new items of all kinds Most can be purchased with a “buy it now” pricing (no bidding necessary) eBay protects its buyers so you are unlikely to be cheated 911/17/2011

Online Shopping for the Holidays Other Websites to Consider Meritline.com. They sell a ton of small cheap items. Most are technology type gadgets, but do carry other stuff. Newegg.com. They sell computer and other consumer technology items. Great website to learn about an item. Customer service is excellent. All the major stores have good websites – Macy’s, Sears, Home Depot, etc. bhphotovideo.com is an excellent resource for cameras and accessories. 1011/17/2011

Miscellaneous Websites to Consider United States Mint (usmint.gov) sell coin sets and other good gift items. (Beware of similar named websites that are not the U.S. Government) For tools, try toolking.com. They have some good prices (don’t forget Amazon, Sears, Lowes, etc.) harryanddavid.com sells top quality gift baskets, etc. rockbottomgolf.com sells discount golf supplies. smartplanethome.com sells kitchen gadgets that are good for gifts. Online Shopping for the Holidays 1111/17/2011

12 Online Shopping for the Holidays Questionable Websites If a price is much lower than the major websites, then you are asking for trouble. Watch out for discount photo stores in Brooklyn and NY area. If the website doesn’t list the location of the Company, then don’t order anything from them. Check the website with the BBB at Google a question about the website such as “problems with wydeals.com” Don’t bother with questionable websites. There are many legitimate sites such as Amazon, Newegg, etc.

11/17/ Online Shopping for the Holidays Shopping Online is easy. If you enjoy walking the malls just before Christmas then do it. I’ll be at home watching football.
