12. Learn the Merchant's Cancellation, Return and Complaint-Handling Policies
Even under the best of circumstances, shoppers sometimes need to return merchandise. Check the web site for cancellation and return policies.
*
Who pays for shipping?
*
Is there a time limit or other restrictions to the return or cancellation?
*
Is there a restocking charge if you need to cancel or return the order?
*
Do you get a store credit, or will the company fully refund your charges to your credit card? If the merchant only offers store credits, find out the time restriction for using this credit.

*
Does the merchant post a phone number and/or e-mail address for complaints?
*
How long has the company been in business?
*
Will they still be around when you need them?

Is there an easy, local way for you to get repairs or service?

*
What are the limits, and under what circumstances can you exercise your warranty rights?
