Help avoid online order slow- or no-shows

Contact lens seller turns a blind eye to the law
Cosmetic contacts lenses – also known as costume or decorative contact lenses – can change the way your eye looks without correcting your vision.

Buying an internet-connected smart toy? Read this.
Before giving in to your kid's plea for a new toy, you may want to collect some information about it. Why? Well, for one thing, that toy may want to collect information about your kid.

Sometimes they even tell people to divide the cash between pages of a magazine. […]

Fake promises offer no sigh of (debt) relief
An offer of reduced monthly payments — or complete forgiveness — on your student loan may make you want to sign up…and exhale. Unfortunately, though, some of those programs wind up costing you hundreds or thousands of dollars for nothing in return. What’s more, you could’ve gotten real help for free. […]
