The procedure for buying a book over the Internet is quite simple. And for many, this method of replenishing a personal library in the light of the current development of information technology and the lack of time is preferable to a visit to a bookstore. Although you should not discount the fact that shipping costs will have to be added to the cost of the book, but it often significantly increases the total costs.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - access to the Internet;
- - at least the approximate titles of the books of interest.
Instructions
Step 1
If you prefer a specific online store or other resource (some books, especially those that have not been republished for a long time, can only be found on second-hand book portals and specialized online message boards), you can start your search right there. But often, especially when buying new items, it is more efficient to use search engines. Along with the results of the search itself, contextual advertising is also at your service, especially when using Yandex. Often the price is also included in the results of the issue.
Step 2
Don't be fooled by the lowest price. Study the delivery terms carefully and compare with other options. It is possible that due to the difference in the cost of this service in different stores, the offer of a competitor may turn out to be more profitable, for which the price of the book itself is slightly higher.
Step 3
If the exact price of delivery and all its available options can be found only when placing an order, try to do it in several stores at once and choose the most profitable one. In the rest, you can cancel the order at any stage until it is finally transferred to the picking service. Usually, the books you have selected are added to the cart, and the transition to checkout is carried out after collecting all purchases by clicking on the appropriate button ("Proceed to checkout", "Checkout", "Order", etc.).
Step 4
Some online stores require mandatory registration or authorization, if it already exists, when proceeding to checkout. There are also some where you can make a purchase without registration. Registration is usually convenient for users who plan to frequently make purchases in a particular online store, since they do not have to re-enter the same data each time (name, delivery address, etc.). It can also be beneficial with various discounts, bonus points, etc.
Step 5
Choose the most convenient (or most profitable) payment method. Usually online stores offer various options: by credit card, through electronic payment systems, bank transfer, through terminals, cash on delivery, etc.
If you prefer the prepayment option, make it and wait for the delivery of the goods: a call from the courier, a notification of the receipt of a parcel or a parcel, or a notification of the receipt of an order at a self-pickup point.
