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 Minute shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Minute offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Minute 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 Minute? Wrong! If the Minute 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 Minute then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Minute? 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 Minute 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 Minute 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 Minute 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 Minute site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Minute, 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 Minute, 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.

A minute is a Unit of measurement of time equal to 1/60th of an hour and to 60 seconds. (Some rare minutes have 59 or 61 seconds; see leap second.)

The minute is not a SI unit, however it is accepted for use with SI units. The correct abbreviation for minute or minutes is "min".

In geometry, a minute is a unit of angle, 1/60th of a degree (angle). It is then also known as a minute of angle or minute of arc, and can further be divided into 60 arcsecond.

In astronomy, the minute is a unit of angle and time, 1/60th of an hour of right ascension. It is then known as the minute of right ascension, and can be further divided into 60 seconds of right ascension.

The symbol for a minute of time (or of right ascension) is min.

The symbol for a minute of arc is a prime (symbol) (′). For example, fifteen minutes could be written 15′. However, more commonly an apostrophe, or single quote (U+0027), is used.

The Earth turns on its Geographical pole Axis of rotation through fifteen minutes of arc in every minute of time. A minute of arc at the Earth's equator is approximately a nautical mile.

The fact that an hour contains 60 minutes is probably due to influences from the Babylonians, who used a Numeral system counting system.

Origin The first division was originally known as a "prime minute", from Latin "(pars) minuta prima", meaning "first minute (i.e. small) part (or division)". Likewise, the second was known as a "second minute", meaning "the second division".
