Have you compared prices on PriceRunner? Sometimes shipping costs are added, sometimes products have free shipping. Many online retailers offer free shipping if you spend more than a certain amount.
Check an extra time that it is the right model you are looking for. A good advice is to double-check things like colour and size, as the same item can often come in many versions.
Does the retailer give you a serious impression? If you are unsure, check out other customers' ratings and reviews on PriceRunner.
Feeling safe makes it easier to shop online. PriceRunner has a Buyer Protection scheme for registered members, which covers you up to £5,000 if the product is not delivered or if there is a problem with it and the retailer does not resolve the problem within a certain time. And the good news is that it does not cost anything to be a PriceRunner Plus member. Nor do you pay any extra for our Buyer Protection.

There are many easy ways to pay. But if you pay by invoice you can withhold the payment if something turns out to be wrong with the delivery. However, be careful to check if there are any extra fees when you pay by invoice. It is also important to pay on time – otherwise the interest can quickly add up and make your purchase very expensive.
Buy from retailers who are as local as possible. Sending an individual package across the world is not climate-smart. And choose products with a lower climate impact.
For purchases within the EU, you have a two-week right of cancellation from the day you receive the goods. One advantage of e-commerce is that you can actually return a product you do not want.
More about the right of cancellation
Check the retailer’s return policy before you buy; check what it costs to return an item and how complicated it is. If you buy products that weigh a lot, it can be both time consuming and expensive to return them.
