MyChoiceMall.com - The Ultimate Online Shopping Mall

          MyChoiceMall.com ® serves the general consumer public by providing the convenience of a single online destination to locate favorite stores and brands, and to present new opportunities for personal shopping needs without any cost or fees for users. Many of our patrons regularly take advantage of simple strategies to make their shopping experiences more enjoyable and a consistent source of both convenience and real savings. Some of these are listed here for you to consider as you shop at MyChoiceMall.
         Minimize Impulse Purchases   Personal shopping styles aside, most of us do our most effective shopping when we have some idea what we are seeking before we begin, and are less influenced with the perils of temptation encountered as we browse for our itended item. Not only do these interrupt our shopping quest and time allowances, they threaten the budgeting for the item we originally desired. If these unexpected opportunities are truly appealing, write them down and revisit them after you've made your primary purchase. The extra time to unhurriedly evaluate these opportunities is often useful to avoid any buyer's remorse that may result otherwise.
          Shop Sales And Promotions   Every season presents a new series of sales events from almost every store, but they don't always coincide with our shopping needs. Traditionally, stores offer goods on sale after they are in high seasonal demand, but when shopping online you will discover almost every store seems to be offering sales and promotions that boast very desirable pricing throughout the year. In fact, many of the offers are available only online and are one of the ways stores have found successful to introduce and test new items and brands prior to bringing them to store inventory levels. It makes sense to allow a little extra time to conveniently browse a few of the stores in MCM to see if the same item you want is offered for a better price. This axiom is especially useful if you shop for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and other occasions throughout the year rather than resort to the seasonal markets. If, for example, you find the item you plan on giving as a Christmas present offered on sale for a significant savings in July, the savings alone may justify purchasing it earlier than planned and simply storing it until the season arrives. Imagine your total savings if you practiced this shopping strategy all year long!
          Use Coupons, Promo Codes, & Rebates   This makes perfectly reasonable sense for everyone that wants to save a little money, and although it might take a minute or two longer as you shop online, it always results in a lower price. These offers are free, and the issuers expect them to be used, so don't allow yourself to feel the slightest awkward in doing so! Prior to final check-out, browse the store's website for a place Coupons, Promotions, or Rebates are offered to see if one is available for you to apply to your pending purchase. Some special offers from our Partner Stores are listed at the MCM Lobby for your convenience, and represent another exclusive benefit to MyChoiceMall patrons.
          Batch Regular Orders   If you regularly order the same items, consider "batching" your orders. For example, if you always take the same assortment of vitamins and make periodic purchases, it would make more sense to batch them and not have to pay shipping or other fees more than once. Many stores have this regular purchase option available within their online transactional or Customer Profile areas at no additional cost, and this auto-delivery feature can be modified or cancelled at any time. Never having to miss a shipment, or to have fewer charges on your monthly bill is simply shopping smart!
          Don't Compromise On Quality   One of the best things about shopping online is the assurance of quality and value consumers receive when shopping for familiar brands from trusted stores, and the ease of browsing many different stores quickly. Although availability, prices, and services may vary widely, brand-name products themselves do not have different standards of quality for different methods of distribution. The same model brand-name camera, for example, may be offered online by Store "X" for quite a bit less than Store "Y" and the brick-and-motar Store "Z" at the nearby mall, but it is still the same camera nonethless. This is not the case, however, when attempting to compare a brand you are familiar with a similar item that boasts the same features and benefits that bears a less than familiar name and a more enticing price. Since you do not have the ability to personally evaluate the item when shopping online, you must rely on the information supplied to you, which may not be sufficient for you to make a reasonable decision. Traditionally, most of the frustration and regret experienced by online shoppers comes from previous instances where a simple transaction turned into a nightmare once the product arrived and subsequently necessitated a return, if possible. Not only was the consumer disappointed in the product and the store that "sold" it to them, they were left with less than an overall positive memory regarding shopping online altoghther! Don't shop by price alone: if you know what you want, then be willing to shop for it, and to buy it for a price you find desirable. This way, you will not be disappointed. The bitterness of poor quality far outlasts the sweetness of a low price.
          Check The Warranty, Guarantees, & Fine Print   This seems obvious, but it always is worth repeating since most consumers tend to overlook this aspect of shopping for a number of reasons. Always be sure the item you are purchasing comes with the Warranty you expect, one that can be reviewed prior to purchase. Make sure it has the features and offers the same protection you feel is proper, for in many instances, the specifics of the Warranty are your official recourse should the product not perform as purchased. Additionally, many retailers will offer extended Warranty options (usually at added cost) and Guarantees that cover many of your concerns. It is up to you to decide if this meets your approval and merits your confidence, however. If a Warranty or Guarantee is not present or does not come with your purchase, this may be an indicator that you might be better off making your purchase in-store with the assistance of a knowlegeable sales staff able to answer your questions to your satisfaction. You should always examine the "fine print" regarding your purchase, for even though an item may have an excellent Warranty, you may be required to ship the defective item prepaid to a service center rather than drop it off at a more convenient location. If you find service is available only from the distributor of the item (the store that sold it to you) rather than the manufacturer or authorized representative, then you would be best advised to pass on the purchase altogether.
          Understand The Terms Of Your Purchase   Being fully informed is the best way to avoid disappointment. Some of the most common questions you should ask regarding every purchase are: What are the costs involved in this purchase? Who pays for shipping? When can I expect delivery? Do I need to be home to sign for it? Can I pick my purchase up at the nearest store? Can I return it, and if so, how long do I have to decide? What are the procedures I need to follow when making a return? If the purchase proves to be defective, what can I do? What happens if I miss a scheduled payment? Is financing available? Can Gift Cards be used to make this purchase? Certainly, there are more than just these few questions that merit your consideration when shopping online, but the point is you should be practicing diligence as you make your purchases. If you shop intelligently and with reasonable expectations, you will likely not be disappointed or taken advantage of. Every Partner Store in MyChoiceMall has subscribed to a strict set of standards as a requirement for inclusion, and upholds the commitment to complete customer satisfaction that MyChoiceMall has established for your assurance.
          Join Preferred Shopper Programs   Many stores offer special programs that reward returning customers, and whenever possible, you should consider participating in the various benefits that are available. Every purchase made as a Preferred Customer in these programs may allow you to take advantage of special pricing, special cash-back rewards, additional savings on pruchases, exclusive merchandise offers, and more which are not made to the general public. With the requirement of strict Privacy and transactional policies throughout the commercial sector, MCM patrons do not have reasonable concern regarding personal security from any program offered by any Partner Store of MyChoiceMall. Still, you can only reap the rewards of these exciting Preferred Programs if you participate, so by all means do so.
          Subscribe To Newsletters   Most of your favorite stores offer regular e-zines (email magazines or newletters) that are full of tidbits of information you will enjoy and can aid you in your online shopping experiences. Many of these subscriptions offer 'interest-specific' editions where you can find news and advance notice of upcoming merchandise introductions or special sale events in the category you find most appealing. These privately distributed online publications often offer subscribers exclusive discounts and private sale events as regular expressions of their commitment to serve their Preferred Customers with incentives they both appreciate and deserve. Every such e-zine allows you to easily opt-out at any time, and all of your personal information is guaranteed protected, so you can try them even for a short time with complete confidence.
