Many think that shopping online can be a daunting task because you're not doing it in person, therefore, you can't inspect an item up close nor touch it. This puts you in a position of trusting the integrity of the online store, the quality of their products, the workmanship involved and whether you can rely on their service for delivery or returns. Maybe it sounds more like taking a leap of faith but online shopping is actually fun, easy, convenient and safe (if you guard your personal information properly).
At Liva Gem Loft, we not only sell handmade jewelry online, we've been buying our materials online since 2000 and it's not a task ~ it's been fun! Sure, It would be exciting to travel to the Dominican Republic to purchase the rare gem "Larimar"; Tahiti for Pearls; Hawaii for Lava beads or Burma for luscious red Rubies but we're so busy designing our jewelry, that we don't have time to fly world-wide for our supplies, (although we dream of doing so!) Buying online is
the most convenient option for us and more people are realizing that their time doesn't permit "shopping excursions" in physical locations as often as they'd like.
If you tend to browse but feel weary about online buying, we suggest that you research the sites that you'd like to buy from, use secure payment sources without having to reveal your
credit card numbers to the site, choose your "passwords" wisely and change them often!
Your online purchase ought to be fun ~ you ought to be excited to receive your package and be completely satisfied with the product you receive, so always choose a site that offers returns without a fuss.
Have a great time shopping!
