2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a June 22? Wrong! If the June 22 is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about June 22 then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your June 22 wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your June 22 then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
