Common conclusions
Make sure you choose the right and secure website and store when purchasing different items to avoid dodgy transactions.
As much as possible, you should choose the option where you pay your purchase upon delivery and not through credit cards and other online transactions.
It is imperative to go through the shop page and look for the seller’s ratings and the quality of items they are selling. It will help you determine whether you should add it to your cart or look somewhere else.
Reading feedback from other people also helps with your decision making, as it gives you a background as to what kind of service they offer. If the store has a lot of five stars, give it a go. If it has three stars and below, look for another store.
Leaving the seller a message and questions pertaining to your concern is a great help to know if they are trustworthy or not. Accommodating sellers are more likely to deliver good services compared to others.
Tracking your package and going through its destination progress will assist you if your parcel is being whipped at the right time or a bit delayed. If so, inform the seller right away about your concern.
It is important to carefully read the product specifications before purchasing to make sure you are ordering the right item. In some instances, it’s the customer who is misreading the description and proceeds to check out after looking through the item pictures alone.
: Always keep in mind not to directly give important information about you, especially if you notice it is suspicious or a bit shady. Try double checking and be mindful of the cookies.
Practically speaking, if you have no busy schedule, doing meet-ups is more reliable so that you can still check the product in case of defects and damage.
If the store doesn’t offer meet-ups or cash on delivery, try checking the product if it has a warranty or none. Items with warranties are more likely credible and much safer to purchase than those that do not offer even a refund.
