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 Wamu shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Wamu offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Wamu 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 Wamu? Wrong! If the Wamu 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 Wamu then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Wamu? 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 Wamu 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 Wamu 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 Wamu 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 Wamu site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Wamu, 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 Wamu, 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.

WAMU is a public radio station that services the greater
Washington, DC metropolitan area. The station broadcasts on 88.5 FM; online at wamu.org; and on
HD Radio at 88.5, Channels 1, 2, and 3. WAMU is on-air 24 hours a day. It is licensed to
American University and its studios are located near the campus in northwest Washington, D.C. WAMU's HD Channel 2 broadcasts WAMU's BluegrassCountry, which is also available at bluegrasscountry.org.; Channel 3 broadcasts content from WTMD, a AAA station in Towson, Maryland as well as other NPR programming and BBC World programming. This change became effective on
September 17, 2007.
WAMU is a National Public Radio affiliate, carrying content from NPR, American Public Media,
Public Radio International and the BBC World Service. In addition, WAMU produces its own interview and
bluegrass music shows, including
The Diane Rehm Show,
Hot Jazz Saturday Night,
The Kojo Nnamdi Show, and
Bluegrass Overnight.
For more than four decades WAMU has aired rebroadcasts of drama, comedy and variety programs from the "golden age of radio." The Old Time Radio program now known as
The Big Broadcast originated in 1964 (as
Recollections, hosted by John Hickman). Since 1990, the program has been hosted by Ed Walker, himself a storied Washington broadcaster. In its current Sunday evening incarnation
The Big Broadcast features four hours of various programs heard during radio's early days – from roughly the mid-1930s through the 1950s – typically including programs such as
The Jack Benny Show, Dragnet, Gunsmoke, The Great Gildersleeve, Lux Radio Theater, and
Philco Radio Time with Bing Crosby.
WAMU-AM was a carrier current student radio station with limited range. It was only available on campus. The call letters of this station were changed to WVAU.
History
WAMU made its first AM broadcast on July 28,
1951, and the first FM broadcast was on October 23, 1961.
In 2004, the prominent Washington journalist Ellen Wadley Roper left WAMU a $250,000 bequest.
As of January 22,
2007 at 8:00 PM, WAMU became
Washington, DC's only full-time
NPR news station, when
WETA (FM), also in Washington, DC, changed to an all classical music format, filling the void of
WGMS (FM).
