6. I've ordered numerous pairs of athletic shoes on line

with no problem. It helps to have a brand you know is compatible with your feet. Also, check out ahead of time what the company's shipping policies are. Some ship free and offer free returns (e.g., Zappos) and some you have to pay both ways. Others have free shipping specials sometimes. I've also ordered clothes that were usually ok. If I have to pay to send them back though that's a deal breaker.

Another drawback of ordering on line is the color shown in the photo. For instance, I wanted a hat in a shade of blue that the company called "denim blue" but it was really dark blue.

I also once purchased furniture that I was SURE would match the rest of the wood furniture in the bedroom. In reality it was several shades lighter. It was a special order so it was mine to keep. Oh well...
