Shopping On Line

Many people now shop on line for groceries, electrical items theatre tickets to name a few. Of course the internet is a global resource, which means this has opened up a whole new way of shopping. It means that you now do not only have to shop from UK stores but you may be able to shop on line in stores around the world. However there may be some additional costs such as customs duties, shipping charges and additional postage and packing when doing this.

Before shopping on line it is worth visiting the Office of Fair Trading website. Here you will find lots of useful information about shopping on line.

It is also worth knowing your rights if you have brought anything either on line, in person at your local high street stores or ordering by phone. Surrey Trading Standards provides information and assistance to both Surrey consumers and businesses in order to protect your rights when buying items or services.
