You can buy almost anything online, often for a fraction of the cost you'd pay in a bricks and mortar store. But navigating the global digital shopping centre can be a headache. What are your consumer rights online? How can you be sure an internet-only company is a legitimate business? Is it possible to save money by importing the same products from overseas? We answer these questions and more.
