The site may even offer fashion tips based on your cyber-self. You can see an example of this on the Land's End Web site. Technology is catching up. Some sites may already offer more precise choices or allow the customer to key in his or her measurements. A few American e-tailers allow clients to construct a pair of pants based on the exact measurements of an existing pair.
Customers can choose the fabric and even the amount of tapering on the leg.
Every time you buy from a different e-tailer, you must key in personal information and credit card numbers in order to register. Now, Canada's banks have come up with a solution called e-wallets. E-wallets are electronic files which contain your name, address, credit card numbers, passwords and any other pertinent information needed to complete a customer form. Currently, only the Bank of Montreal and the Royal Bank offer this service. Microsoft also offers a free e-wallet called Passport.
