| Shopping Tips |
| To maximize your shopping experience, here are a few shopping tips to follow while on GoSale.com:
|
| Research the product. |
| Having a strong knowledge-base about the products is
essential in order to make prudent buying decisions. Thoroughly
reading the product descriptions, inspecting the large detail
images and checking the product specifications are all excellent resources
to use to become familiar with the product. GoSale.com also provides customer
reviews where actual owners post their thoughts about the product.
Be sure to take into account the length of time the reviewer has owned
the product and look for general trends of satisfaction rather than isolated
cases of discontent. Also place more weight on the average review if the
product has numerous reviews. |
| Research similar products. |
| GoSale.com provides shoppers with "Similar Products" for
many of the items listed on the site. Researching these and other
products from the same category can help to highlight products
that you were previously unaware of. In some cases, a "Similar
Product" can lead to the discovery of a product that better suits
your needs. |
| Calculate the total cost of the item. |
| Be sure to inspect the selling price and the shipping cost of the item. In some cases, the store with a slightly higher base price may actually cost less in term of total price if they offer discounted or free shipping. |
| Select a store with a good reputation and a good price. |
| Although the store offering the lowest price may have the best deal, also be sure to take into account the stores reputation and selling policies.
Be sure to inspect the store's return and exchange policy before making a purchase. In the event that you need to return the item, a store with solid customer support will truly pay off. |
| Keep a lookout for special deals and rebates. |
| GoSale.com also provides exclusive deals and rebates
that are offered to GoSale.com users. These deals are located
on the left column of category pages under the "Special Deals" heading.
Clicking on the deal link will take you to the store's website
and qualify you for the discount. |
| Pay by credit card for faster processing and high confidence. |
| Although online fraud is extremely rare, many credit
card companies offer fraud-protection services to ensure your
confidence when purchasing online. Most all merchants listed
on GoSale.com employ a technology called Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL) that encrypts, or encodes, sensitive information before
it is sent over the Internet. Credit cards are also processed
much fast than other payment methods such as personal check or
money orders. |
| Share your experience. |
| Help others make prudent purchasing decisions by sharing
your experiences and impressions of a product you own
though our customer reviews. When posting a review, it is best
to have spent some time with the product to get familiar with
it and be sure to include the length of time you have owned the
product as well as the pro's and con's that one might experience
with it. |
