Online shopping is great to find those perfect Christmas gifts, but how do you shop smart to make sure things work out well?

Checking if a shop has an ABN is the easiest way to know if it’s an Australian business. Smart online shopping is about more than just the price – checking product and shop reviews from other people may help you avoid disappointment.

Tom Chapman, Consumer Protection Officer in the Kimberley, talks to us about all these things so we know what to look out for.
