FedEx Media Alert: A Stress-free Experience While Shopping Online for Your Gift of Love

KUALA LUMPUR, February 7, 2012 – According to a recent survey, savvy Malaysians intended to cut down their trips to the mall last year as they planned to conduct half of all their holiday shopping online.  With the hustle and bustle of modern life, online shopping is not only an effective use of time and money, it also enables many Malaysians to browse and select their desired purchases from the comfort of their home or multi-task while on-the-go.

No matter what you purchase online, the same basic requirements apply – to have a safe, secure and stress-free experience. Here is a quick checklist with tips from FedEx on how to make the most out of your online shopping expeditions.

Be Safe: Before you start filling up that online shopping cart, make sure you have the most up to date Internet security software. This will help thwart online predators looking to hijack your credit card details and other personal information.

Shop Smart: Only do business with reputable online e-tailers. If you haven’t heard of them make sure you check to see that you are on a secure site and that they have their contact information including phone, address and e-mail, so you can get a hold of them offline. Take some time to look up consumer reviews and recommendations for the e-tailer to gain an understanding of the e-tailer’s reputation in the marketplace.

Review Return & Exchange Policies: Before making an online purchase, familiarise yourself with the e-tailer’s return and exchange policies, particularly when purchasing from non-Malaysian based e-tailers. Return and exchange policies can vary during a sale, holiday season or according to country, so it’s wise to have that information in advance. Remember that some e-tailers let you return to their local brick-and-mortar stores.

Virtual Receipts: Even though you won’t have a tangible set of receipts as if you were shopping in a brick and mortar store, start a file folder of all of your purchase confirmations. This will help with tracking your spending as well as keep your receipts in one organized place for returns or exchanges.

Shipping: Always opt to ship with a reputable transportation service provider to ensure your items arrive safely and in good condition and you can enjoy your brand new purchase right out of its package!

联邦快递资讯速递：轻松无忧 – 网购贴心好礼新体验

吉隆坡，2012年2月7日 - 根据近期调查显示，精明的大马人盘算在去年上网进行半数节日采购，以减少出门前往商场购物的次数。 随着现代人的生活日益繁忙，网上购物不仅能有效管理时间和金钱，也令消费者舒服窝在家里，或在外面忙碌时抽空选购他们心仪的货品。

     

不论你在网上购买什么产品，都必须符合这些基本条件 - 安全、可靠和轻松无忧的体验。有鉴于此，联邦快递为你提供带有提示的快速检查表，教你如何最有效地完成网上购物。

安全至上：当你还未开始使用网上购物车之前，确保你拥有最更新的网络安全软件。这有助于防止网上盗贼有机可乘，偷窃你的信用卡资料以及其他个人资料。

精明购物：只和信誉可靠的网上零售商交易。如果你未曾听说过有关网站，务必检查该网站是否安全，并且有提供网站的联络资讯，包括电话、地址和电邮，以便可以在离线时联系他们。查看消费者对有关网上零售商的评语和建议，以获知该网上零售商在市场上的声誉和口碑。

查看退货和换货政策：还未进行网上购买之前，先向网上零售商了解退货和更换政策，特别是向并非驻马来西亚的网上零售商购物的时候。退货和更换政策可能在促销期间、节日、假期方面，或因不同的国家而有差异，因此预先取得第一手资讯才是明智之举。切记，有些网上零售商让你退货给它们开设于当地的实际商店。 

虚拟收据：与在实际的商店购物不同，虽然没有有形的收据，你应该把所有的购物确认凭证保存在一个文件夹里。这将帮助你跟踪所有的开支，而且有条理地保存收据，也方便未来用于退货或更换的需要。 

运输快递：务必选择有信誉和可靠的运输服务公司，以确保货物安全送达，并保持完好状况，让你打开包装后可即时享受全新的货品！
