Portable USB Scanners - How to Find the Best Portable USB Scanners

You know that you need a portable usb scanner, but can’t decide on one because of the vast choice of similar devices in the market. As a matter of fact choosing a portable scanner is easy. First you need to define what your specific needs are. The following questions will help you determine them:

What documents are you going to scan – business cards, identification cards and passports or important business documents?

Will you be using the usb portable scanner on the road to back up hard copies? Are you going to send them over the Internet?

How much are you willing to spend on a portable usb scanner?

Answering all the above questions will help you save time when you start searching for portable scanner.

So far you should have settled on a particular usb portable scanner make and model. The next step is to choose a store to buy it.

Since there are so many merchants - both online and offline the decisions would be hard. You can start researching merchants by asking friends and colleagues who have already purchased portable usb scanners.

If you have no one to ask pick a few merchants and start reading reviews by past users at websites such as ePinions.com.

After choosing a merchant the next thing to do before purchasing an usb scanner is to visit their website and find the contact pages.

What you are looking for is a physical address, emails and phone numbers. You want to be sure that you are dealing with legit merchants not with scams.

If a phone number is listed give them a call and see if you can reach a live person. Shoot them an email with a question about the portable usb scanner you are about to buy and see how long it will take them to respond.

Finally, head on to Better Business Bureau’s website (www.bbb.org) and check for complaints against the merchant. If everything looks fine go ahead and buy the portable usb scanner you have set your heart on.
