Buying a Suit Online - 7 Tips You Can Use Right Now

By Victor Santerino

I have spent years perfecting the arts of both selling and buying a suit online. Read through this article and your next shopping experience will be safer, smoother, and more satisfying than ever before.

Use a secure server when making purchases online. Using a secure server will keep nasty trojans and viruses from stealing your personal information.

Buy from a trustworthy source. One way to do this is to buy from a company that is recommended from a reputable source. Also read what others who have purchased from the company have to say about it.

Determine what your shipping costs will be before you make your purchase. The vendor should be upfront about all costs before the sale is made. This practice will eliminate any unwanted surprises.

Know your measurements in advance. Knowing your measurements is important in determining what size suit you will need to purchase. Guessing at your measurements can lead to disappointment and ultimately will not solve your problem of needing to purchase a suit to wear.

Make sure there are plenty of pictures in the listing. Online retailers should provide you with a minimum of four pictures. You will want to see both the front and back of the jacket, along with the front and back of the pants.

Make sure the seller has a good return policy. A normal return policy should state that you have somewhere between 15 - 30 days to return the item. Fifteen days is adequate but keep in mind the longer the policy, the better.

Use a credit card to make your online purchases. Credit card companies will help protect you against fraud and will fight for you if you cannot get a refund. Also many credit card companies offer cash back on purchases which will save you some money. - 16651
