Are refurbished discounts
good?
The problem with buying a returned product
that is not refurbished by the factory is it has not been certified by the
manufacturer, and never buy an item listed as 'refurbished by a factory' as
that is meaningless. If you buy refurbished goods, it is best to buy directly
from the manufacturer, many of which have an 'outlet' link on their website.

See a great deal online?
Before you buy from any online business, make sure they post their address and
phone number, preferably with a picture of their actual company. We have seen
companies hide their contact information, and that usually makes them a bad
choice to buy from. |

Stealth inflation:
Have you
noticed the items you buy are not being sold in smaller packages for the same
price? Fun Size candy which came in packs of 8 are now sold in packs of 6 for
the same retail cost. That is a sudden 25% increase in retail product cost, and
it is not just candy bars. The U.S. dollar goes far less than it did a few
years ago, effectively cutting your wages. |

If you can't get pre-sales information, you won't get help
after the sale either.
If the pre-sales agent on a
phone call cannot or will not get you the information you need prior to the
sale, odds are your experience with that company will only be worse after the
sale. Business put their best people on the sales lines which are sometimes
monitored for quality. If you are not satisfied, say it to the agent and don't
be afraid to say they lost a sale as a result. Businesses want your money and
you are sometimes better off not buying from a company that will not give you
product information. |

Made in
the USA? Wal-Mart will tell you:
If you see your
favorite generic pain reliever in Wal-Mart and want to know if it is made in
the U.S.A., China or another country, call the phone number on the label and
ask them. Wal-Mart staff in the call center will gladly look up the product
details and tell you the country of origin based on the lot number. When we
called we discovered they were made in the U.S.A. |

Buying online is
not always the best deal:
'Show-Rooming' is a
retail term for products people look at in stores and then the customer buys it
online, thus costing the retailer money so you can save elsewhere. Buying from
the retail store can save you money in the long run because what you are buying
is service. If a product has a problem and you purchase it online, returning it
may cost you more in the long run. |
