While there are numerous advantages of online shopping there are some hassles and fear regarding them. Identity theft is the most key worry for those who fear about online shopping. But threat of identity theft with online shopping through a secure website is comparatively little. Most highly regarded online retailers will give a secure website for shoppers.

If the client is unsure about the security there is always a choice of calling customer service to leave the order. One more worry is about dealing with returns. In majority of cases the returns procedure with online retailers is quite easy like returning the product to traditional store. But some time the shopper will be financially liable for the cost of shipping the product back to the online vendor. This can be expensive if the product is oversize. Like wise some the products are not returnable except they have technical damage. Always read the return policy before you buy.
