E-Gov Sites Offer Suggestions for Holiday Shopping

E-government websites offer useful holiday shopping advice to consumers via the following:

  • FTC Consumer Alert – Holiday Shopping? How To Be On Guard When You’re Online
  • and Consumer Action Buying tips: “Before you head out to the mall or shop online for that perfect present, take a few moments to read these tips to help you have a less stressful holiday season.
    — Decide in advance exactly what you want and what you can
    afford.
    — Read sale ads carefully. Some may say “quantities
    limited,” “no rain checks,” or “not available at all
    stores.”
    — Don’t buy on impulse or under pressure. This includes
    donating to charity. Do your research.
    — Get a written copy of guarantees and warranties.
    — Get the seller’s refund, return and cancellation
    policies.”
