1. Create an internal system for keeping track of "problem credit card accounts," or accounts that have previously had chargebacks, for future cross-referencing.
2. Only charge the consumer for goods that have been delivered. Obtain a permit, and only after the good or service has been delivered should the sale be made.
3. All order forms, shipment slips, delivery receipts, and customer details including address, phone number, delivery signature, necessary bills, and e-mail address should be kept in-depth records.
4. Be cautious when using "transient" shipping addresses for people, such as hotels, PO Boxes, etc.
5. Indicate specifically on the sales documentation whether the transaction took place online, by phone, or by mail.
6. The terms and conditions, in particular the refund/cancellation policy, must be understood by all customers and signed by them at the time of purchase.
7. If a consumer returns an item or disputes a charge, you should credit their account right away.
8. Verify the address on orders that seem suspect, phone the consumer to confirm the order, and always send an email to the customer informing them of the order.
9. Send your goods as often as you can with a courier who can give you a signature as proof of delivery.
