About:  Shopping securely and safely from home over the Internet

Try to use a web browser which uses 128-bit encryption like 
Internet Explorer 5.0 or Netscape Navigator 6.0 or later
If possible buy from companies that have a UK High Street presence
Always check for hidden costs before ordering i.e. Postage and Package ( Check for delivery times ) 
( Additional charge for credit card use )
Before purchasing from a company on line check that they have contact address and telephone number
Try to use a credit card that provides some form of fraud protection ( MOST DO )
Before entering credit card details look for closed padlock at the bottom of your web browser 
this indicates that the site will encrypt your credit card details for safety 
Print off a copy of your order with all reference information incase you need to contact the company
If possible use sites that display the Which? Customer Association badge 
as they conform to a voluntary Code of Practice 
Try to have a current version of Anti Virus on your computer 
The Internet is a safe environment and the ideal way to buy gifts when used with common sense
