We named our shop after trust, so we think you should check us the same way you'd check any other store. Here are the questions we'd ask before buying from a website we didn't know.
Seven quick checks
- Is there a real street address and a phone number? Call it. Ours is +1 313-565-0220.
- Does the price look too good to be true? Big-brand items at 80% off usually are.
- Are the shipping costs and return policy written down before checkout?
- Does checkout use a secure, known payment provider instead of asking for card details in a plain form?
- Are reviews detailed and varied, or all five stars with the same wording?
- Do the product photos match the description, including size and model?
- Is the website address spelled correctly in your browser bar?
Protect the device you shop on
Safe shopping starts with a safe computer and phone. Norton 360 Deluxe and McAfee Total Protection both warn you about risky websites and include identity monitoring.
Gift cards: buy from the source
Scammers love gift cards, because they are hard to trace. Only buy them from the brand or an authorized seller, never pay a bill or a "government fee" with a gift card, and keep your receipt. Our gift cards come from the brands or their authorized distributors and are delivered by email.
