A Guide to the World Market
For years there have been stories like the
New York mogul who ordered fresh baguettes flown in by the Concord
supersonic jet every morning from a bakery in Paris. In Toronto I
can get apples from South Africa and even garlic from China.
Recent, wild currency fluctuations has spurred more cross country
purchases than ever before, and it¡¯s not just a matter of going
from Toronto to Buffalo either! www.nextag.com and
http://yahoo.shoptoit.ca/ are sites with all kinds of rankings and
security features where every manner of consumer products can be
delivered right to your door. A new site,
http://consumercontractor.com even sells complex HVAC systems and
other equipment for residential, industrial and commercial
buildings.
So, together with you checking out the newspaper flyers, you should
surf the web for the most appropriate products at the best prices.
Just make sure you factor in delivery costs, warranty exclusions and
possible sales taxes and/or customs charges. Phoning the
manufacturer's customer service line before you buy and asking
questions about the product will help greatly in making an informed
decision. Going into the manufacturer¡¯s website may give you
detailed specifications, photos, installation guides, add-ons, etc.
that will make your purchase a rewarding one.
Search on Google for a particular model serial number -- quite often
you'll find a critic / evaluation of that particular model. You may
also find comparisons with other similar models.
Make sure that you take advantage of coupons and special discounts
that many sites offer. Enquire about second address delivery
service, insurance, return policy, gift wrapping and personal card
services. Will there be a re-stocking fee?
Many times you will be dealing with a different currencies;
www.globexgx.com is a good site to exchange and transfer money. Make
sure the website is secure; www.paypal.com is an example of a secure
method of payment.
Keep asking questions by phone, fax, blog and/or e-mail until you
are satisfied that you have the perfect product for the best terms
and conditions.
