DermStore (www. dermstore. com), the online source for skin care and beauty products, has again been recognized as a BizRate Circle of Excellence Platinum Award winner. Selected from over 55,000 merchants at leading shopping-search-site Shopzilla. com, DermStore was chosen as part of an exclusive group of 50 online retailers to receive the Circle of Excellence Platinum award.

To qualify, retailers participate in the BizRate Research Customer Certified Merchant Program, which allows online buyers to complete surveys upon checkout and after delivery of goods - in order to accurately measure the online shopping experience and to monitor the store's post-transaction fulfillment performance. To win, merchants' survey volume must be in the top five percent, from September 1, 2004 to August 31, 2005, and merchants must achieve a performance rating above the Industry average on all service metrics. DermStore was one of nine health and beauty e-tailers recognized for superior service.
