Online Shopping

I use the virtual credit card number system my credit card company provides. You log on and set up a virtual card for a specific purchase. It has a short expiration date and is only usable one time only before it expires. Great way to head off credit card number theft and I've even caught one company that was trying to double bill me that way.

That sounds fantastic. I will check into it.

I would call and complain. If you ordered that Wednesday and said 2 day shipping unless it was in the middle of the night, it should have been there on Friday.

Most sites will just claim that they don't guarantee same day shipping- so if you ordered on Wednesday, but they didn't ship it till Friday, two day shipping = Monday/Tuesday (depending on the ship service) with the weekend.

I voted a 2.

I hardly ever shop online. Usually I only shop online if I have something that can only be found online.... or if someone gives me a gift certificate to amazon or something like that.

I don't use Ebay, don't trust it but I'll do other sites like bustedtees or 80stees for close.

I have ordered online before & have no problem ordering from actual sites like Circuit City, Best Buy, Wal Mart & Amazon. I pretty much won't order from random fan sites unless the site in question got amazing reviews from fellow forum members

I voted a 3....it has its purpose but I rarely use it unless I can find a better deal online than in the store....I prefer handling things before ordering....I ordered a bunch of carrying bag samples that looked really good online but when they came in I didn't like any of them at all.......

Answers are pretty close to what I presumed.

I love it. Just bought some comics from Amazon last night.

Also a great way to check if it works. Let's say you wanna try shopping from this site but your a little apprehensive, well what you do is when your with a friend tell them you bought the shirt your wearing from the site and that they should try it out. Then if they do ask them how they liked it. and bah bam you got yourself a solid test if the site is trustforthy.
