The most important tip I can give you is to use a secure server when making your purchases. Fraud is not as prevalent as some naysayers would have you believe, but it is something to watch out for. Using a secure server will help you feel at ease throughout the buying process and make the purchase that much sweeter.



Make your purchase with an honest vendor. These can be found through feedback systems and recommendations from trustworthy sources. Knowing that your seller will give you proper treatment is a nice way to do business.

Determine what your shipping costs will be before you make your purchase. The vendor should be upfront about all costs before the sale is made. This practice will eliminate any unwanted surprises.

Know your measurements in advance. Knowing your measurements is important in determining what size suit you will need to purchase. Guessing at your measurements can lead to disappointment and ultimately will not solve your problem of needing to purchase a suit to wear.

Make sure there are plenty of pictures in the listing. Online retailers should provide you with a minimum of four pictures. You will want to see both the front and back of the jacket, along with the front and back of the pants.

Make sure the seller has a good return policy. A normal return policy should state that you have somewhere between 15 - 30 days to return the item. Fifteen days is adequate but keep in mind the longer the policy, the better.

Use a credit card to make your online purchases. Credit card companies will help protect you against fraud and will fight for you if you cannot get a refund. Also many credit card companies offer cash back on purchases which will save you some money.
