We couldn't agree more with this article. A lot of companies in Spain also offer the facility for cash on delivery - if you do this remember to have your cash at hand or they can refuse to serve you. If you are remotely located be sure to also specify directions as well in any order notes you may have the facility to add to. As a British company operating here we ensure that Internet security and safe payment is always a priority - so make sure that the top of the URL also reads "https://" that means the URL is secure.
