Holiday, a busy season for buying gifts. It could be a little stressful but of course we'll do our best just to give smiles to our loved ones. But if you want to lessen your problems and save more time, we all know that Online Shopping is an option. You'll just plan all the items you'll need to buy and in one click, tadah! You just need to wait for the parcel to reach you and all is set!
Yes, it is easy, but it doesn't mean that you must not consider things, things that sometimes can harm you. That's why Hubient forged these Dos and Don'ts that can help and save you especially in this Holiday season where a lot of scammers are lingering around.
Dos:
Buy from Your Trusted Shop if Possible
There's no safest way than purchasing from a reputable shop. If you already have a history with that retailer and you are satisfied with their products and behavior towards you, then buy the product you need from them if it's available in their shop. If they recognized you purchasing from them again and if you're lucky, they might give you freebies.
Check the Ratings
You can check the ratings and comments of a product. It can help you decide whether to buy it or not. The higher the rating, the higher the chance that it's a good quality.
Compare Products
Comparing products from different shops is essential in finding a cheaper yet high quality items. It can help you find the best item to purchase. Options are important cause it can be the next choice if the first shop ran out of stock.
Please Read and Comprehend
Before deciding to buy a product, read the description carefully. You might misinterpret things for example, let's just say you bought a pair of shoes but you didn't read the whole description and when you received it, you found out that it is a miniature shoe. Sometimes the description itself is in the name, we're just lazy enough to read it. Don't be fooled by the images presented at it.
Ask, Don't Be Shy
You can always ask the retailer or the owner of the shop for inquiries. Remember that clarification is the best way to avoid mishaps and misunderstanding. It also builds a business relationship between the two of you.
Be Clever in Paying especially with Cards
There are many ways to pay in an online shopping. There's EWallet, Cryptocurrencies, bank transfers, and the famous Cash on Delivery. But there is one more well-known method, paying with credit/debit cards.
Between credit cards and debit cards, it is better to use credit cards over debit cards. Yes, they both have advantages and disadvantages but credit card is much safer for you in case of misfortune. According to Matt Schulz, a LendingTree credit card expert, "If somebody gets hold of your debit card information and uses it fraudulently, they're stealing real money out of a real account." In conclusion, if someone steals from your debit card, they'll get the money instantly. Although you can get the money back from the bank, it will be more complicated. We're not saying that you should not use debit card, we're just advising you to use credit card more often. Of course, it depends on the situation because sometimes if you need physical money, then use your debit card.
Complain if Needed
If something's wrong, consult the seller without getting mad. But if the salesperson is being arrogant, it is our right to complain loud and proud.
Don'ts:
Purchase in an Unfamiliar Store/Website
Contrasting from the first tip, do not buy from an unknown shop especially if the website seems weird or suspicious. Trust your instincts and believe in your first impression before entering a website because it might harm your device and your personal information like passwords and accounts.
Be Fooled by Obviously Surreal Offers
Protect yourself from scams. If they're selling big and expensive looking products at an unbelievable cost, be careful because they might use it only as a bait to get what they truly want from you.
Be Impulsive in Buying
Take your time. Don't check out too many items without checking your budget. This might disturb the overall financial budget. Don't just cancel your orders because you're not the center of life, the retailer can also suffer. Let's assume that they already fixed everything about your order but suddenly you just want to cancel it. If that happens, you just wasted all the time and effort that they had put.
Share your Entire Life
If they're requesting too much information from you, exit the shop immediately. Remember that the only information they need from you are related to shipping and transaction only. They won't need your birthdate.
Panic
Patience is the key to success. If you're a nervous person who always thinks negative possibilities and outcomes; like when you're so worried about the delivery or you can't just wait and you want it to arrive as soon as possible, please stop overthinking. It will reach you safe and sound. Just relax and enjoy life!
Suppose that the Sellers will Respond Quickly
Obviously, you should not assume that the sellers will respond to your inquiry immediately. They are also humans and you're not the only one that they're dealing with.
That's it! Hopefully, these easy tips will help you create and keep a budget this year while holiday shopping. Happy Holidays from Hubient!!!
