First, always know what you re buying. Although a Web site says it has the best chocolate covered beans, make sure to study the seller s item description, including any photographs. Watch out for fine print and adjectives that might suggest that what you ll get in the mail won t exactly be what they offered online. And remember the old saying, -If something sounds too good to be true- If those high-grade espresso beans seem too cheap, chances are they might not be as high-grade as you thought.
The second step is to take care how you buy. Before making a purchase at a Web site, find out what type of payments the site accepts and how they ship their products. A red flag could be any Web site that asks for Social Security numbers, driver s license numbers, or bank account information. You shouldn t have to give these things for some candy.
