In this section, we will cover how to stay safe while shopping online. Online shopping can save time and sometimes money. It means you don’t have to travel to crowded shops or wait for a bus or look for a parking space. It can also be more accessible than physical spaces.

Online shopping means you can shop at any time that suits you. You can buy clothes and food, and have them delivered straight to your door.

Online shopping allows you to compare products and prices using a price checker so that you get the best value for your money. You can get detailed product information and suggestions on how to use certain products. A store locator or store finder enables you to find the physical address or postcode of a retailer.
