Beware Cheap Websites

Know why? Well, first of all, the products will probably be cheap (say, 3 for a book) but then the shipping rate will be ridiclous. (10. So your cheap book becomes 13.) So, before you buy anything, look at the shipping rates. Second, if you're buying clothing, make sure the website has a return policy. Otherwise you could end up with something you can't wear. Not good. If you're buying something like unused clothing on eBay, only buy it from a eBay shop, because the seller may not be reputable otherwise. (Has anyone seen the underwear on eBay? Who buys underwear from eBay? WHO?!) Another reason you might want to return it might be that it looks different from the picture. Look at who is shipping it. My mum bought a book on the net, and the shop that sold it to her were fine, but the shipping company weren't. As in, they didn't ring it when it came in, they told her they couldn't see, they didn't know, and she didn't get the book for months. So, um, the moral is: only ship from guys who you know. Or something.
