Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Square Kilometre shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Square Kilometre offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Square Kilometre at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

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 Square Kilometre? Wrong! If the Square Kilometre 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 Square Kilometre then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Square Kilometre? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Square Kilometre and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Square Kilometre 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 Square Kilometre then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Square Kilometre site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Square Kilometre, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Square Kilometre, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Square kilometre (United States spelling: square kilometer), symbol km², is a decimal multiple of the SI Units of measurement of surface area, the square metre, one of the SI derived units.1 km² is equal to:

• 1,000,000 m²
• 100 ha (hectare)

Conversely:

• 1 m² = 0.000 001 (10-6) km²
• 1 hectare = 0.01 (10-2) km²
• 1 square mile = 2.589 988 km²
• 1 acre = 0.004 047 km², 40.47 ha or 4047 m²

Note: "km²" means (km)², square kilometre or kilometre squared, and not k(m²), kilo–square metre. For example, 3 km² is equal to 3 * (1,000 m)² = 3,000,000 m², not 3,000 m².

Comparative order The 1 E+6 m² orders of magnitude page gives comparisons with geographic areas.

A hectare (104 m²) is less than a square kilometre which is less than a square megametre (1012 m²).
