Products and Services
Sarah Virginia Home is an online retailer of furniture and home décor. BBB Tips for Online Shopping: Know the advertiser.Check bbb.org before you buy to see if the company is Accredited and maintains a good BBB Rating. Some of the best deals are only available online but be careful. It's easy for a fake site to mimic a famous retailer's website, so make sure you are shopping with a legitimate online retailer. If the site is missing contact information, that is a red flag. Shop with a credit card.In case of a fraudulent transaction or instances where products are not received, a credit card provides additional protection. It's easier to dispute charges that you didn't approve or receive. Debit cards, prepaid cards or gift cards don't have the same protections as a credit card. Check a site's security settings.If the site is secure, its URL (web address) should start with "https://" and include a lock icon on the purchase or shopping cart page.â?¯ Be a savvy shopper.When shopping online, be sure to take your time, and read the fine print before submitting your order. Look for the return policy; although many online orders can be returned for a full refund, others have restocking fees. Some items cannot be returned; know before you buy. Protect personal information.Read a site's privacy policy and understand what personal information is being requested and how it will be used. If a site doesn't have a privacy policy, that's a big red flag that it may be a scam. Think before your click.Be especially cautious about email solicitations and online ads on social media sites. Many sketchy retailers advertise great deals or trendy clothing that don't measure up to the promotional hype. Beware of too-good-to-be-true deals.Offers on websites and in unsolicited emails may offer free or very low prices on hard-to-find items. There may be hidden costs or your purchase may sign you up for a monthly charge. Look for and read the fine print. Beware of phishing.Phishing emails can look like a message from a well-known brand, but clicking on unfamiliar links can place you at risk for malware and/or identity theft. One popular scam claims to be from a package-delivery company with links to "tracking information" on an order you don't remember making. Don't click! Keep documentation of your order.Save a copy of the confirmation page or email confirmation until you receive the item and are satisfied. Be sure to know and understand the return policy and keep this documented with your purchase records. Keep a clean machine.Install a firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware software. Check for and install the latest updates and run virus scans regularly on your computer, tablet, and smart phone.
