Default online shopping

Below listed are a few tips to make this process a safe and simple experience.

• Shop early – With the easy selection process online, sales in peek season is high and there runs a risk of the product running out. Therefore it is better if you place your order well in advance in such seasons.
• There are some stores that provide free shipping on a purchase over a specified amount. Therefore keep track of such splendid offers if available and make the most of it.
• Look out for bargain offers online. A slight in depth search is sure to find you mind-boggling offers.
• Make sure you never disclose off you password to anyone else.
• It is safe to shop with the company that has disclosed its telephone number and contact address. A postcard number alone is not satisfactory enough as it would be difficult to track down the company in case of any fraudulent activity.
• A print copy of the purchase order and the confirmation number should be taken for the records.
• Prior arrangements should be made with the company if the goods you purchased would arrive only after thirty days of placing the order.
• Your social security number, mother’s maiden name, your email id and other such personal information should not be disclosed off to the company unless you receive proper, satisfactory explanations from the company.
• Be clear with the security procedure and the privacy policy of the company. In case you don’t find them in the site ask the company to mail them to you promptly.
• It is always safe to pay through your credit card or other charge cards instead of cash or cheque.
• Well-known companies are the safest place to shop.

Confused Re: online shopping

I did everything right according to your list. I ordered a free trial, which it turned out didn't work for me, so I returned the merchandise and closed the contract before the 30 day time limit clause and after getting an RMA#. I have 4 emails to prove I did it correctly and timely according to their instructions. This morning I discovered they sent me more merchandise costing $49 plus shipping, and charged my credit card, plus the billing placed my credit overlimit so now I have an additional $35 charge. I've written to them asking for justice. What can I do legally to get my money back and report these people so they will cease this practice?
