E-Gov Sites Offer Suggestions for Holiday Shopping
E-government websites offer useful holiday shopping advice to consumers via the following:
-- 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."
