E-commerce Websites: Take the Hustle

and Bustle Out of Christmas Shopping


The festive season is upon us and, if you still haven’t made a list (and checked it twice), then you probably haven’t even started your Christmas shopping yet. Fortunately, if you are dreading the thought of navigating your way through overcrowded shops, there are other convenient shopping options you can rely on. With the increase in e-commerce websites in recent years, you can now do all your shopping online and from the comfort of your own home.

Where to shop?

Considering there are a growing number of well-known and reputable e-commerce websites in South Africa, consumers will be spoilt for choice when they sit down to do to their Christmas shopping. If you are looking for great Christmas gifts at reasonable prices, you will find movies, games, books, toys, home appliances, clothes and lots more online. And, since major retail outlets like Pick n Pay and Woolworths also have online shopping options, you can plan your Christmas menu without leaving home.

E-commerce website examples

Here are a few of the most popular online shopping sites which are used by South African shoppers on a regular basis:

Take A Lot
Loot
Want It All
Spree
Zando
Efficient and convenient

Most online stores have a professional e-commerce website design which is not only user friendly, but it makes your shopping experience a pleasant one as well. The other advantage of online shopping is that you can do it at any time of day or night and not have to rely on shopping centre trading hours.

Internet security

Unfortunately, when it comes to online shopping, security is a major concern. However, this shouldn’t scare you away. It just means that you must always be cautious and buy from well-known and trustworthy sites. Here are a few things which you can do to check if a website is safe:

Check if the website has https instead of http. The S means the site has been secured using a SSL Certificate.
Take a look at the address bar and check if the website has been verified by Google. A majority of safe sites will be verified by Google and by checking the address bar, you can check if a location or safety ranking is visible.
Find out as much as you can about a website before ordering from it. Speak to family and friends and see if anyone you know has used the site in question.
If you still need to buy presents for friends and family, then why not take a seat, get comfortable and let e-commerce website solutions be the answer to your problems.
