Check your card statements carefully, especially if prices are quoted in a foreign currency. Look for a UK contact address and prices in sterling. If in doubt, e-mail the company and ask.

Sites usually have comprehensive information about products - pictures, prices, and descriptions.
Some give more details than shops do. Alphabetstreet.co.uk, an internet bookshop, has book reviews, interviews with authors, and lists of similar books. You can even write your own reviews. The easiest shopping system is the 'virtual shopping basket'. You click on items and the site remembers them.
