There are a number of things you should look for when considering a company from which to make a purchase. If you're unfamiliar with the company, check them out before placing an order. Most holiday products are in stock and ready to ship. If you see something you want, order now, especially for the hottest new must-have toys. Look for specials.
Many Internet sites offer a special of the week.
Visit favorite sites regularly to catch best buys. Most companies will offer gift messaging, and sometimes a gift card and gift wrap either free or for a nominal fee. Use e-mail to ask questions. If the e-tailer doesn't respond in an intelligent and timely manner, you might not see anything but a charge on your credit card. When in doubt, check it out.
