please state your name, position and corporate afiliation..thank you very much

Shopping online offers the advantage of convenience. You don't have to get in your car and deal with traffic and parking and crowds. And it saves time and gasoline. This means you have more time that you can spend pursuing other interests. If you are buying a gift online, the seller will ship the item for you, at your expense, saving you more time that would be spent going to the post office or UPS. Think how many times you will avoid waiting in lines, over a period of years, if you shop online. That adds up to a lot of hours that you have to enjoy as you wish.

I am a business owner, so anything that saves time interests me.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what company I work for. You can call me buzy bee. I am a supervisor in one of the leading markets right now. All I can say whenever you are making a purchase online see what is their policies about RETURNS some companies do not accept returns from purchases online or they would charge you for a restocking fee. Also, since you will be paying by credit card make sure the website is secure and also make sure you have an awesome FIREWALL. (This will protect from people hacking into your information and they would be able to steal your identity through this.) It is convinient but we will hope and pray it would be safe too someday... Hope this helps! Goodluck

No corporate affiliation but I buy a lot of stuff on line, both from EBay and catalog companies. You have to know that the seller is reliable. On EBay you can generally tell from the feedback. Catalog companies that have been around for a while are known to be reliable but if you never heard of one before, be careful, they could take your money and disappear. I recommend getting a Pay Pal account for those sellers that accept it; that will protect your credit card. You can send money to anyone using Pay Pal.
