As the Christmas shopping season draws closer, many people are becoming more willing to purchase major items online. This is especially true for people living in rural areas buying larger items such as beds or other pieces of furniture. A recent online purchases survey shows almost three-quarters of Americans are trustworthy of internet shopping sites, and are willing to purchase items when they are included in special offers of low or no shipping charges. For people looking to buy a new bed online many sites will not charge you to ship the item, simply because they know how important being competitive with a traditional brick and mortar store is. One of the tips you can use when shopping online is to visit local stores to see particular items you want, and then search for these item numbers through internet-only bed stores. If you find an online furniture store that also has a toll-free phone number, you may be able to ask them to price match the item you saw locally. When purchasing a new bed of sofa online, you should also carefully check the actual size specifications of your desired item. Because of the different ways product photos are taken it can be hard to truly judge the actual item size without knowing the measurements. By using a simple tape measure and some pieces of string you can actually "build" a replica of the item in your house. Finally, if you bought a new bed online and it is delivered to your home, check the condition of packaging before you open it. In most cases damage done to an item can be detected without having to open the box. If you do indeed have a damaged or defective new bed, contact the company and ask for immediate pick-up for a return of exchange. Because most online bed stores are doing their best to match the customer service you would receive from a local store, they will most likely do their best to make the return process as easy for you as possible.
