Internet Opens Up a World of Shopping Options Online shopping offers vast new opportunities for Canadian shoppers to access unique, high-quality merchandise from retailers in the United States and beyond, and have it delivered directly to their doorsteps. At the same time, many U.S. retailers are looking northward and finding new ways to accommodate a nation of potential new customers, for whom online shopping is a growing pastime. U.S. retailer JCPenney has seen Canadian business on its ecommerce site, jcp.com, grow double digits in the past 3 years. The retailer says Canadian customers are drawn to jcp.com's vast assortment of fashionable apparel and home merchandise that provides high quality at smart prices. JCPenney was the first U.S. department store to sell via the Internet, and today, jcp.com consistently scores high marks in independent surveys of speed, quality and ease of shopping. Online sales via jcp.com surpassed $1 billion for the first time in 2005, and continue to grow at a rate of 20 percent to 30 percent year over year. Shopping Your Way Internet shoppers can take advantage of expanded merchandise offerings that many retailers offer online. JCPenney calls jcp.com its "largest store" because the web site offers more than 200,000 items and is backed by 6 million square feet of warehouse space. Offerings include 17,000 distinct items in window coverings; men's shirts in sizes up to 5XL; and heavyweight, all-cotton JCPenney Home Collection towels in 42 colours. "Our goal is to provide customers with the best online experience in the industry," said John W. Irvin, President of JCPenney Catalog and Internet. "We know customers appreciate the convenience and breadth of merchandise our site offers, and the trusted quality and value JCPenney is known for." The site features many popular brands such as Levi's and Nike, and many that can't be found anywhere else online, such as decorative home accessories and home textiles by Chris Madden for The JCPenney Home Collection, comfortable and classic casual wear by St. John's Bay, and career apparel by Worthington for women and Stafford for men. Keep It Safe and Sound JCPenney offers its Canadian customers trouble-free transactions. Canadian purchases on jcp.com usually are delivered to the customer's home within seven to 10 business days and order totals include all applicable taxes, duties and shipping costs. With more than 40 years' experience selling directly to consumers via its legendary catalogues, and more than a decade in online retailing, JCPenney has earned a high level of trust from its millions of customers. "Our site uses the latest encryption technology, which assures customers that sensitive information can be transmitted safely and securely and won't fall into the wrong hands," says Kevin Gebhardt, Vice President and Director of Multi-Channel Coordination for JCP Direct. 406 Speers Rd., Oakville (across from Rona Lansing) $ 95 39 per month o.a.c. as low as 905-337-2066 VISIT THE SPECIALISTS TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE www.cobblestonembers.ca THE BIGGEST SALE ER!
