5 Online Holiday Shopping Tips for a More Peaceful Season

With the holidays upon us it’s time to go shopping for all the people on your list. Use these helpful tips to make finding the perfect gifts a more peaceful and rewarding experience in a year that is anything but normal.

1) Get a Head Start

Begin your gift shopping as soon as possible to avoid potential delivery delays.

2) Shop Wisely

Don’t fall victim to fraudulent sites—only shop from verified online stores. Or better yet, go directly to the brand’s website. And if an advertiser or website offers a deal that seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

3) Ship to a Secure Location

An unfortunate side-effect of more online shopping is delivery theft. If no one is home to accept your delivery, consider shipping it to your office or another safe place. Most shipping carriers have shipping lockers available for secure deliveries too.

4) Purchase on Private Wi-Fi Only

Never trust a public Wi-Fi location when purchasing online—you could be inadvertently sending your private data (passwords, credit card information, and shipping address) to someone looking for that information.

5) Check Your Retailers’ Security Policies

If you see a small lock icon next to the site address of the page you’re on, then they have installed privacy protection. Additionally, you should see an “s” in the url of the website, eg: https://
The security addition works by masking any data you share. Rest assured that https://www.mauijim.com provides secure shopping for your peace of mind.
