Discount shopping websites?(genuine ones, have been caught out by dodgy one!)

[Arabella36]

Anyone know of good value shopping websites? Am thinking of Christmas shopping online. Have received fake goods through a copycat website last year so don't want to repeat that mistake!

Depends on what sort of things u are wanting to buy, I have found Dixons to be fantastic for electrical, play.com for cd's and games etc, wh smith sell their books and stuff cheaper online than they do in shops. If u use a credit card for purchases over £100 you will be insured if anything goes wrong or is a dodgy site, if you use a visa debit card you have some protection but not the same level of cover as it's not a legal right on a debit card like it is with a credit card. If you have still got a maestro card or an electron or something, never use it for online shopping - if the goods don't arrive or are faulty u have no comeback on the money through the card company!

i'd second play.com and amazon too

Thanks for the tips!
