  2. Internet:
    3. -Always make sure the purchase is secure. If the URL doesn't have "https" don't buy from it. Buy from a well-known company and make sure it has customer reviews. Verify the warranty and make sure the manufacturer or seller provides a warranty. Always get a receipt and keep it until the product arrives and is correct.
  3. Local Retailer:
    4. -Its possible for representatives to give you incorrect or false information either to help the sell or because they representative may not know all of the required information. Always ask if they can demonstrate to make sure what they're saying is correct.
