Shopping for the Holidays

It's about 32 days to Christmas and most of us have yet to come up with Santa's List. Malls will be surely packed and most people would go for an easier way to shop - via cyberstores. And why not?

It is so easy to shop from online stores. You have at you fingertips all the good stuff that online stores pre-select to sell in their stores. With just a click of a mouse, you can virtually shop hop from one store to another and make a tour of countless stores that are open everyday, 24-hours in all parts of the globe.

Whichever way you want to shop, you must remember to apply a little strategy to your shopping task. It is always best to come up with a list, categorized accordingly (age, gender, wish) AND stick to it! Do remember to shop from trustworthy stores that can deliver the goods on the day they say they would.

There is an even easier way out! Have you tried a PERSONAL SHOPPER? A reliable personal shopper is the best thing next to Santa Claus. She (most likely, she is female) will suffer the shopping ordeal for you and enjoy it, too.

Well, let me know of what you know about holiday shopping. Do leave your posts of wisdom as early as possible.

Contact Links

Contact links are convenient ways to leave your comments at requests and inquiries shopdrops.com or any website you visit and spend time in. Just click on the link, fill out the form and submit. Normally, the customer care of a site will get back to you within 24 hours.

Leaving a comment or inquiry will help you decide before a purchase if you have questions about an item you would like to order. You can make this a rule of thumb before you finalize an order with an online store that you are buying from for the first time.

Always ask when in doubt. This will save you and the online store time, money and effort.

Complaint Department, am I?

I have been getting inquiries and complaints from people who shop from stores other than mine. Their complaints are almost always "unfulfilled orders". I have been patient with them telling them that no, www.shopdrops.com is not in anyway, affiliated with the store/s they placed their orders with. I am a Yahoo store and I guess shoppers somehow come across my contact form and they decide that I have connection to other stores, especially the ones they placed orders with.

These shoppers should always keep a copy of their confirmed order so that they know where to go for inquiries and order tracking when the need arises.

At any rate, I have opened an unofficial complaint department at the link below. I will try to help anyone recover or expedite their unfulfilled orders. Note the highlight on the words "I will try". There are no guarantees but at least, you have an alternate recourse. I will help - I must as well, since I am getting all these unsolicited requests for help.
