Online Services voucher codes May 2021

Is there anything more convenient than being able to get what you need without having to leave your house? Online services mean you can order your groceries, take some courses, watch your favourite shows and so so much more. Don’t worry about having to lift a muscle to do anything other than shop online!

Shopping for services online has plenty of benefits:

• Easy to find - finding a product online is just so much easier than running through a store to find the right product or size. You can order your shopping online and have it delivered to your doorstep, at a convenient pickup point (Click and Collect) or even to collect in-store.
• Freedom of choice - product options are so much broader when you shop online. A particular product will be online in many more different sizes and colours compared to what you find in-store.
• Rare products - online shopping can also be very useful for buying rare or niche products. For example that limited edition sneakers you really wanted or the yoga mat that’s only available overseas.
• Privacy - when you shop in-store everybody sees what you buy. In some cases, this might be problematic or even embarrassing. With online shopping, you always get the desired privacy and anonymity.
• Saves time and energy - you don’t want to waste precious time by waiting and searching the aisles during shopping rush hour, just to find what you wanted is already sold out. This problem can be easily remedied by ordering online and having your items delivered to you!
• Cheaper products - some products are much cheaper online, as some specials are online exclusive, which means only online shoppers can access them.

Should you choose to shop from the comfort of your home online, here are some tips and tricks to make sure you shop safely, securely and smartly:

• Shop with trusted online retailers or do thorough research before making purchases from unknown retailer sites.
• Never provide your credit card information if you do not see the ‘padlock’ on the upper left-hand side of your address bar, or if the address begins with “http://” instead of “https://”.

• Keep your information private. If the retailer asks for too much information such as your birth-date and social security numbers, do not complete the transaction.
• After shopping online, it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on all your banking statements, checking them weekly rather than by the month, just in case something slipped to a hacker. Notify your cardholder service if there are any discrepancies immediately.
• Maintain good virus protection on your computer to prevent spyware and other hacks from accessing your information. Many trusted anti-virus services are available online for free so you can take advantage of convenient online shopping.
• Avoid using public Wi-Fi to do your shopping, rather use secure connections.
• Be cautious of unsolicited emails and pop-up internet adverts with too-good-to-be-true offers. Use caution when a deal is drastically better than others and always double-check before clicking on ads.
