Sunsout jigsaw puzzles
Random Cut
500 Pieces
Finished Dimension: 19” Square

My (advancing) Newbie Difficulty Rating:  Easy 

So much fun! Near perfect! Relaxing and satisfying to build.

Quality: Sturdy if large box. It contained a sealed bag of pieces, no poster included. Full illustration was on the box top, color match to pieces was great. The pieces are solid, they have a bit of sheen. There was some puzzle dust. No pieces were damaged, or together uncut. None were missing. Piece fit was tight, with care it could be picked up. Moving small sections was no problem.

Getting started: Find edge pieces and sort by color. I sorted the 5 hats and heads. the 5 full outfits, solid black pieces, the top blue and black section, the beige windows, the green windows, and the 3 shades of gray.

Construction: I built the frame first, then filled in the top, sides and bottom. What made this so easy was how distinct the colors were for each girl’s attire. I put in the hats and faces, then completed dressing each, one by one. I finished by filling in the remaining background pieces.

Final thoughts: Wherever they are going, I hope these girls have a good time. I certainly did putting this puzzle together. Sunsout - I’ve done several now from this nicely priced brand. They have a wide variety of designs and the quality fares pretty well. I did have one with a missing piece and one where I simply complained about the quality (pixelated image). Their customer service replaced the puzzle with the missing piece, and for the other, a puzzle of my choice. Can’t ask for better than that. I can, with confidence, recommend this brand.

My grades: Quality A-, Fun Factor A+

About: Safe Online Shopping, Protecting Yourself from Scams

Online shopping has become increasingly popular, offering convenience and a vast array of products at your fingertips. However, it's important to stay vigilant and protect yourself from potential scams and fraudulent activities. In this article, we'll provide you with essential tips and insights on how to shop safely online and spot potential scams.

1. Shop from Reputable Websites

Stick to well-known and trusted online retailers. Look for websites with secure connections (https://) and familiar payment gateways. Be cautious when dealing with unfamiliar websites or sellers, especially if their prices seem too good to be true.

2. Protect Your Personal Information

Never share sensitive personal information, such as your Social Security number or full address, unless it's necessary for a legitimate purchase. Legitimate online retailers will only require essential details like your name, shipping address, and payment information.

3. Secure Payment Methods

Opt for secure payment methods, such as credit cards or trusted payment platforms like PayPal. These methods offer additional protection and can help you dispute charges if necessary. Avoid using direct bank transfers or wiring money to unknown sellers.

4. Read Customer Reviews

Before making a purchase, take the time to read customer reviews and ratings. Genuine feedback from other shoppers can provide insights into the product's quality, customer service, and the reliability of the seller.

5. Verify Seller Authenticity

If you're purchasing from a third-party seller on a marketplace, verify their authenticity. Look for seller ratings, reviews, and their track record on the platform. Be cautious of sellers with limited information or negative feedback.

6. Be Wary of Suspicious Emails and Links

Beware of phishing attempts through emails or messages that appear to be from trusted retailers. Scammers often try to trick users into clicking on malicious links or providing personal information. Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown sources.

7. Look for Secure Checkout Processes

Ensure that the checkout process is secure and encrypted. Look for security seals or logos indicating the website's commitment to protecting your information. A lock symbol in the address bar is also an indication of a secure connection.

8. Use Strong and Unique Passwords

Create strong and unique passwords for your online accounts. Avoid using easily guessable information and consider using a password manager to securely store your login credentials.

9. Keep Your Devices and Software Updated

Regularly update your devices, operating systems, and antivirus software to protect against the latest security threats. Enable automatic updates whenever possible to ensure you have the latest security patches.

10. Trust Your Instincts

If a deal seems too good to be true or if something feels off, trust your instincts. Exercise caution and refrain from proceeding with the purchase if you have doubts about the seller or the website's authenticity.

Recognizing Potential Scams: Warning Signs

While shopping online, it's crucial to be aware of common signs of scams:

  • Unusually low prices: Be skeptical of deals that are significantly cheaper than the market average.
  • Poor website design: Scammers may create poorly designed websites with grammatical errors and low-quality images.
  • Unsolicited communications: Beware of unsolicited emails, calls, or messages asking for personal information or payment details.
  • Limited payment options: Scammers often prefer less secure payment methods or ask for wire transfers.
  • Lack of contact information: Legitimate sellers provide clear contact information, including customer support channels.
  • No return policy or warranty: Reputable sellers usually offer return policies and warranties for their products.

Stay Safe and Shop with Confidence

By following these tips and remaining vigilant, you can shop online with confidence. Remember to research the seller, read reviews, protect your personal information, and use secure payment methods. By prioritizing your online safety, you can enjoy the convenience and wide selection offered by online shopping while minimizing the risks of falling victim to scams. Happy and secure online shopping!
