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 Sweet Track shopping experience:

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

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

9. Contact - got a question about Sweet Track, 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 Sweet Track, 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.

{{Infobox Megalith| Name = Sweet Track| Photo = Sweettrack.jpg| Type = causeway| Nearest Town = [Street, Somerset| Nearest Village = Westhay, an ancient [causeway in the Somerset Levels, England, is one of the oldest engineered roads discovered and the oldest timber trackway discovered in Northern Europe.

The track was discovered in the course of peat digging in 1970, and is named after its discoverer, Ray Sweet. It has also been called the Eclipse Track. It extended across the marsh between what was then an island at Westhay, and a ridge of high ground at Shapwick, Somerset, a distance close to 2,000 metres (over a mile). The track is one of a network of tracks that once crossed the Levels.

Built in 39th century BC, during the Neolithic period, the track consisted of crossed poles of Ash tree, oak and Tilia (Tilia) which were driven into the waterlogged soil to support a walkway that mainly consisted of oak planks laid end-to-end.

Due to the wetland setting, the components must also have been prefabrication.

Most of the Track remains in its original location, and several hundred metres of it are now actively conserved using a pumped water distribution system. Portions are stored at the British Museum, London, while a reconstruction can be seen at the Peat Moors Centre near Glastonbury.

Since the discovery of the Sweet Track, it has been determined that the track was actually built along the route of an even earlier abandoned track, the Post Track, dating from 3838 BC and so 32 years older.
