'Consumer Focus Scotland online survey
Our aim is to find out if online retailers are giving consumers enough information upfront about general delivery options on their websites (before you register or make a purchase). Sometimes this information is hidden away under ‘Customer Services’ or ‘Help’ sections and can be difficult to find. From your previous experience of buying goods online or by having a look at your favourite website we want you to rate how easy or difficult this is.
PLEASE NOTE: WE WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE BEFORE A PURCHASE IS MADE – DO NOT REGISTER OR ENTER ANY DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD DETAILS
Please complete our short survey which will take no longer than 5-10 minutes giving your views on this subject:

There is a section at the end of the survey for any other comments – if you have had any personal experiences (good or bad) please let us know.
The closing date for responses is Friday, 12 February 2010 - if you have any questions about the survey please let me know.
With best wishes.
