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 Raimu shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Raimu offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Raimu 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 Raimu? Wrong! If the Raimu 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 Raimu then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Raimu? 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 Raimu 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 Raimu 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 Raimu 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 Raimu site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Raimu, 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 Raimu, 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.
Raimu was the stage name for the France actor
Jules Auguste Muraire (
December 17,
1883 -
September 20,
1946).
Born in
Toulon in the
Var (département) département, he made his stage debut there in 1899. After coming to the attention of the then great
music hall star
Félix Mayol who was also from Toulon, in 1908 he was given a chance to work as a secondary act in the
Paris, France theater scene. Primarily a comedian, in 1916 writer/director Sacha Guitry gave him significant parts in productions at the Folies Bergere and other major venues. In addition to his appearances on stage, Raimu also developed a successful career in films sometimes under the name Jules Raimu.
In 1929, already a leading actor, he gained wide acclaim for his starring role in the stage production of the Marcel Pagnol play
Marius. Although reluctant because of his disappointment over his first film role many years before, he agreed to act in Guitry's film
Le Blanc et le Noir and then reprised his
Marius (film) role on film a year later. By his late forties, Raimu had become one of his country's most respected actors and considered the ultimate actor by luminaries such as Alec Guinness,
Marlene Dietrich, and
Orson Welles.
On his passing in 1946 in
Neuilly-sur-Seine, he was interred in the cemetery of his birthplace in Toulon-sur-Mer where there is the Cinéma Raimu Toulon named in his honor. In 1961, the government of France honored him with his image on a
List of people on stamps of France.
