When you are too busy to go around the city but you're itching to get your hands on a neon sign for your newly-opened establishment, the only way to go is to go online. In the Internet, there's no need to dress up, drive around and look for parking space! and you'll definitely save a lot of time. However, there are also risks when doing transactions online. So to minimize these risks, here are some things that you need to keep in mind when approaching your neon sign purchase online.What the Signs are Made Of
The best neon signs are, of course, made of real genuine neon. It is the brightest one available and it is also long-lasting. In fact, the companies which claim to serve only genuine neon can attest to the above-par performance of their signs for 24 hours straight year after year after year.
Warranty
What if the package arrived not the way you expected it to be? Or what if one of the letters suddenly lose its light? Look for the warranty conditions. It's always good to know that, as a customer, you have something to pull out and demand just in case your purchase didn't go as promised.
Payment Arrangements
Options are always good. So when dealing with online purchases, look for the payment arrangements offered. The best online stores always have a wide array of payment arrangements and even payment schemes, which go from credit card payment to debit card payment, COD, money transfer, etc.
Safety of Shipment
Since buying a neon sign is not at all cheap--especially when you are really looking for the best one--you need to make sure your package arrives to you properly. The kind that, when it arrives at your doorstep, you have an expectation to fulfill and the company where you bought it from should either meet it or surpass it. Inquire about your tracking number and the courier the online store will subcontract. Also, inquire about the number of days before your package arrives. Usually, when it is personalized or you wanted other adjustments, it takes a longer time to arrive because it took longer to finish.
Privacy
Lastly, the one thing that you should value when doing transactions online--privacy. Almost all of the online shops promise 100% privacy but you can never be too sure. Consult with your friends about your chosen website and look for safety logos like TrustE certified privacy.
