Don’t make measurements overtop of thick or bulky clothing.
Make sure the online store will send shipments to your area.
If buying a gift, make sure there is more than enough time to have the package arrive in time.
Check for shipping charges and time it will take for delivery and make sure they fit within your budget and timeline.
Most internet sites charge a fee for shipping that changes with time - ie: if getting immediate shipping isn’t needed, cost of shipping will generally be less.
Be diligent about maintaining the privacy of the passwords you use. Try to be a bit creative when thinking of a password, and don’t give it to anyone. Don't use obvious numbers like a birthdate or phonenumber. Instead, try choosing both numbers and letters in the password.
Keep a record of your purchases. Be sure to print and keep a copy of both your confirmation number and purchase order to keep for your records.
