arfur mo Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 hi all,i just wondered had anyone else suffered these 'mistakes', internet shopping runs hand in hand with Tv shopping as all the vendors have web sites. so if they want people to overcome their fears and mistrust of what is remote shopping, against where normally they go into a store view and handle he goods then pay usually taking the item their and then, against risking being 'screwed over', the performance of these two is not helping that quest.many of you run web sites as a legit form of advertising, i'm sure some sell items direct to the visitors and nothing wrong with that, but these sort of events don't help you gain the overall confidence of the 'grazing' customer which in turn damages you.regsalan ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzwould u like some Ovaltine to go with your Knapp Norman?regsalan If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!!
