5 Things to Know when Shopping on Amazon

1. Evaluate “Amazon’s Choice”
   Don’t assume product is better quality or value without doing your own research.

2. Choose your seller wisely
   When you buy from third-party seller, you might not get Amazon’s typical, 30-day full-refund return policy, click on seller’s profile page.

3. Beware of “Hijacked” reviews
   Check written reviews, rating stars may have been for other products.

4. Be savvy about shipping
   Prime, Free 2-day, Free Standard, possibly discount for No Rush, various options.

5. Practice Deal Diligence
   Comparison shop outside Amazon, verify where the better deal is.
