HISTORY & WHO'S BEHIND SHOPSAFE?


shopsafe.co.uk was launched in January 1999 and re-designed in May 2000 to make it even easier for the public to find safe shopping web sites. In the United Kingdom, the company behind ShopSafe is Edward Robertson LTD. Established in 1996 they are experts in setting up online stores, and have used their knowledge to put together the ShopSafe service. You can go to the Edward Robertson web site.

All other sites in the Shopsafe Group are owned and operated by ShopSafe Pty Ltd TA The ShopSafe Trust. In Australia, ShopSafe.com.au was launched as a local service in July 1998 and relaunched as a multi-site global service in 2002 with cooperation and assistance from ShopSafe UK. ShopSafe.com has been on the web since 1998 serving both the UK and Australia. In early 2003, a transition was begun to move the focus of Shopsafe.com to serve consumers in the USA. Shopsafe.co.nz was launched in October 2003 to serve consumers in New Zealand.

WHAT IS SHOPSAFE?


ShopSafe is a consumer guide for online shoppers. It is a shopping directory that lists only well designed secure online shops and stores. When examining a site for inclusion into the ShopSafe directory we look for:

  • Online ordering and security of credit card payment transactions.
  • Delivery prices and information that is clearly displayed.
  • A wide range of products, suitable for "high street" consumers.
  • Sites that are based in locally (and display local contact details) and deliver locally.
  • Prominent display of customer service information.
  • Good design, making the site quick to load and easy to use.
  • A Privacy Policy


QUOTES


"The ShopSafe web site fulfills a basic need - to shop. We want our web site users to find what they wanted, show them some things they didn't expect and give them a good time while doing so."
- Graham Miller.

"Shopping online with confidence online is all about trusting the retailer. Always look for a logo from a safe shopping scheme such as Which Web Trader or the ShopSafe "we're listed" logo on the home page. They've done the hard work for you in working out whether or not it's safe to shop,"
- Simon Crisp
