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 Aviva shopping experience:

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

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

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

Aviva plc () is the world's fifth-largest insurance group, the biggest insurance group in the United Kingdom and the second-largest insurance group in Canada. Worldwide, it trails behind AXA, Allianz, ING and Fortis (finance). It is one of the leading providers of life and pensions products in Europe and has a presence in 25 countries worldwide, notably France and The Netherlands. The company was formerly called CGNU, and was created by a merger of Norwich Union and CGU plc (itself created by the 1998 merger of Commercial Union and General Accident) in 2000. The Aviva name was adopted in July 2002. The company still uses the Norwich Union name within the United Kingdom.

Its main activities are long-term savings, fund management and general insurance. It has around £332 billion of assets under management. The group has just under 55,000 employees, including just under 35,000 in the UK, serving 35 million customers worldwide. Aviva plc is the holding company of the Aviva group of companies, which carries out life assurance and long-term savings business, fund management and all classes of general insurance. It also invests in securities, properties, mortgages and loans, and trades in property.

Aviva approached the UK's other insurance giant Prudential plc in March 2006, with a view to merging to form the world's fifth largest insurance player, but withdrew once it became clear the Prudential's board would not consider the suggestion.

On 10 January 2007, it was announced that CEO Richard Harvey would retire on 11 July 2007. He has been succeeded by Andrew Moss, the former group finance director.
