Shopping Online safe from Trinidad and Tobago

 










Hello and welcome to my website, I am going to give you some valuable tips when shopping online. These tips will save you time, money and make your shopping experience much easier.

Firstly I would like to address one of the main concerns, of new comers to online shopping. Many people are scared of giving their credit cards details to websites online. I live in Trinidad and Tobago and i have been shopping online for over ten years, and I can tell you, I have never been cheated or treated unfairly online and I purchased from many websites.

To avoid being scammed by unscrupulous online businesses you need to be smart, the below are some tips when choosing a website to purchase from:

1) Chose reputable sites that you know, such as walmart, sears, Amazon, eBay, Victoria secrets Lowes, brand smart etc. If you are not sure about the website do not purchase from them.

2) You should always register with PayPal if you intend to buy online; PayPal is one of the most trusted online payment methods available. PayPal is also needed if you want to purchase from eBay.

One of the ways I use to personally check a legitamate is if they accept PayPal. Once I can pay with PayPal I will definitely buy from that website. PayPal gives you added protections and you can contact PayPal 24 hrs a day, any issues is dealt with promptly. PayPal would not associate with any business that is not above board.

3) Simple checks such as proper design of website, contact information, phone numbers, and a Google search on the website name and reviews can also be done to verify the website.

4) Once you have done these checks are satisfied that the website it safe you can proceed with your transactions.

If you live in Trinidad and Tobago and would like to shop online, you are among thousands of customers who enjoy doing this every day.

Shopping online has become the trend for the young and old, as almost anything you want, you can find with the click of a mouse.

In the convenience of your home or office you can browse thousands of products in a short time, read reviews and find the lowest prices.


The below are the Steps to follow to begin shopping online:

Step One

The first thing you need is a credit card.

In order to shop online you will first needs a credit card, this can be obtained very easily if you have a job and a good credit rating. Is you do not like using credit cards; you can get a prepaid credit card. Many banks in Trinidad offers prepaid credit card. Republic bank is one of them. With a prepaid credit card you upload the funds you want to spend on the card, this way you do not spend money that you do not have.

Step Two

The second thing you need is "sky box" or Private Mail box.

Once you have a credit card the next step is to register with a Courier company that offers Private Mail box services in the United States. The below are a list of the popular companies in Trinidad that offers these services.

- TTpak - www.ttpak.com

- Jetexpress - www.jetexpresstt.com

-Aeropost - www.aeropost.com

Step Three

You go online find the items you need and purchase it using your credit card.

In looking for your item, you need to ensure you buy from reputable website, if you are not sure you should research the website reviews before making any purchases.

Is maybe wise to register with PayPal as PayPal is a very secure pay to pay online, and a number of companies accept payment via PayPal.

In order to purchase from eBay you will also need a PayPal account.

Some Safe Sites to Buy from:

I have only listed a few popular websites that accepts Trinidad and Tobago credit card. Some websites do not accept non US credit cards.

www.amazon.com - Amazon is if not the number one shopping site online, there you can find almost anything and great prices. I personally shop on Amazon for almost everything; I always go to Amazon first. You also do not need a PayPal account to shop on Amazon they accept almost any credit card.

Amazon customer service is also very good, if you happen to have a claim they settles very fast and fairly. I highly recommend Amazon for shopping.

www.ebay.com - here you can find almost anything at great prices, before buying from eBay you must have a PayPal account. You should also check the sellers rating on eBay before buying form them. EBay has a very good feedback and rating system of their suppliers. Do not buy from sellers with negative and low ratings. If you are treated unfairly or your item is not shipped to you, there is a claim systems that you can get refunded. I am used it and it is good, but not as good as amazons.

I find Amazon to have Superior customer services, one of the best I have experienced.

www.walmart.com - household products

www.macys.com - personal and household products

www.jcpenny.com - personal and household products

www.lowes.com - household products

www.sears.com - personal and household products, appliances etc

www.victoriasecrets.com - personal products - clothing and beauty

www.colemansfuniture.com - for furniture a very nice items.

www.homedepot.com - household products - appliances, building, decorating and renovations

www.eldoradofurniture.com - furniture


If you are a frequent online shopper you may want to consider registering with ebates. Ebates give you cash back whenever you click on purchase something’s via their website.

    You can definitely add the card to PayPal. Keep in mind though, that at this time, you may not be able to add some pre-paid debit or credit cards if we cannot validate the billing address associated with the card.

    In terms of adding funds, you cannot use a card to add funds to the balance. However, if you can successfully register the card, you don't need to add funds first.

    Just make a payment, and we'll debit the card directly. :smileyhappy:

    Thanks!

  14. To check whether a site is legit usually, I do follow a simple checklist to see how well they do, especially when I need to part money with the site; 1) Does the site have a current SSL certificate? 2) Use WhoisXY.com to check the whois information and check whether the contact information matches with the one in the website. 3) In the domain contact details, is there a valid email address. 4) Is there a valid phone number visible, and does it work ? 5) Go through review about them using Unmaskparasites.com and check whether they are scam free. If I am satisfied with the result then I purchase a small priced article and if it is delivered safely and promptly then I go to purchase my desired product. You also can follow the steps that I do...In general, anyone who is trying to do legitimate business on the web will go out of their way to try and make it clear that they are legitimate. So if a site has not even done the bare basics to give customers enough confidence to buy they're products, then it is almost certainly some sort of scam.
