Dads, grandfathers and younger siblings particularly like to receive these items. It makes them feel that you want to make them a part of your college experience. All apparel is seasonal merchandise. This means that it is sold for a few months (a season) and then replaced by a new design. When visiting a website that sells clothing it is wise to look for the clearance page links first and see if what you want isn't "out of fashion" and thus greatly discounted before you get distracted by the current merchandise..
		CREDIT CARDS
		The best way to pay for online purchases such as textbooks is with a credit card. All of the major credit card providers have taken steps to protect their cardholders from fraud and limited their liability. Debit cards do not normally have these protections and so we strongly recommend that they not be used. Use the most up to date version of your browser when shopping with a credit card and always make sure that the lock or key icon is on the bottom bar of the browser insuring that the sale is encrypted.
		KNOW THE LAW
		The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) and Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) establish protections against lost or stolen credit or debit cards, and procedures for resolving errors on credit and bank account statements. Under the FCBA, your liability for lost or stolen credit cards is limited to $50. If the loss involves only your credit card number (not the card itself), you have no liability for unauthorized use.
