For many, online shopping is such a scary thing that they are so reluctant to try it. But once you have learned the intrinsic things involved, shopping online becomes a breeze. It is very important to know where and how to shop, whether it's offline or online.

My very first order on Amazon was in way back in 2002. My order consisted of a self help book and a vintage VHS tape.

A few weeks earlier I had come across a friend of mine reading one of Mario Puzo's novels, The Omerta and when I asked about the book he explained what the word Omerta meant. I was captivated by the idea and decided to get the book for myself.

I asked for information on how to get the book and he suggested I checked Amazon since it was already out of stock in our local bookshop "sad". Few days later I walked into a cyber cafe in my neighborhood, I had no cellphone at this time so I made use of the neighborhood care whenever I wanted to do anything on the internet. I created my Amazon account and made my first order, which included the book, and the VHS tapes for The Godfather Trilogy.

Between 2002 and now I have made countless orders using Amazon, and I have never had a bad experience save the one time my item got shipped to the wrong address, and that was my fault because I had written the address incorrectly.
