when you buy luggage online check out the
etailer carefully
Secure:
The first
thing that should hit you when you buy
luggage online - is: “this site is
secure!” That discount luggage you have
fallen in love with may be beautiful but
the “discount” on your discount luggage
may not be so great if your credit card
information is stolen. The luggage site
should advertise what security service
they use such as HackerSafe and that
they have a secure socket layer of SSL.
Additionally the luggage website should
post what credit cards they accept.
Remember that a Yahoo store is always
secure.
Privacy:
When you buy luggage online remember some websites earn more money off of
selling their customers information than
they do from the luggage. Make sure that
they privacy policy states clearly that
they do not share “any” of your
information with “anyone”. Not
affiliates, not vendors, not business
partners.
Contact Information
and Service:
So many
discount luggage
sites only provide the bare bones of
customer service. Go ahead and pay a
little more for your luggage so that you
have the option to talk to a real person
on the phone. Additionally you should be
able to return the luggage easily with
no questions, no hassles and no
restocking charges.
Free Shipping is
great.
But remember that an online
luggage shop simply builds the cost of
shipping into the price. You may get a
better deal from a site that does not
offer free shipping. Sites that charge
for shipping should charge exactly what
the shipping cost –EXACTLY. If you sense
a luggage vendor is making money off of
shipping – do not buy luggage online
with them.
Excellent
Navigation:
A luggage site should be
easy to navigate. You should be able to
find our detail information about the
piece of luggage you are going to buy
with out any hyperbole. Easy to shop
site are usually site where the vendor
really cares about their site, their
product and your frustration level when
shopping. It is a pride in ownership
issue. If the site look ill kept and
poorly maintained you may want to
consider what kind of product the
luggage vendor will deliver.
Easy Check Out:
When you want to buy it should be easy.
If you have to click around 5 or 6 times
to get to the buy now button you may
want to consider another vendor the next
time you decide to buy. I always suggest
www.ebags.com and www.tumi.com
