… of online purchases is to check out their rating with Resellerratings.com. Not all of the stores people mentioned are listed and you have to read their ratings with a skeptical eye as some folks just like to whine, but it can help in making an informed decision. Also it definitely pays to fully understand the resellers return policy. Some have a full money back satisfaction guarantee, others only a store credit. Number of days in which you can return, shipping charges, restocking fees if any can all vary greatly. I am sure most people know to do this, but I admittedly learned an expensive lesson or two in learning to fully read the policies.
And to share a good online buying experience…
I just placed an order from Kisan Technologies last week, for a Vectralight license plate frame. They sent the wrong item. I wanted the euro-version for my Triumph (amber signal lights) , they sent the US version (red). I called them up and they immediately sent out a replacement. They didn’t bill me for the replacement (the we will bill your card and credit you back once we receive the wrong item routine) and are trusting me to ship the wrong item back using a label *they* provided. Talk about a good buying experience even though I did initially receive the wrong item. Mistakes like that can happen. It is how a seller deals with the mistakes that make a difference. Just wanted to give a shout out to them for resolving this well.
