On the Internet you can buy anything from underwear to the site on the Moon. While you are reading this text, crowds of buyers online transfer to the accounts of virtual sellers quite real money. Do you want to join them? Then get acquainted with the safety of shopping online! We will advise how to make an order in the online store.
It is better to make purchases in the proven online stores, in which your friends successfully and repeatedly ordered quality goods. This is the surest way to not spend money in vain. Happened precedents, when impure dealers copied the design of some popular online store, exhibited a wide range of goods and understated prices. Quickly unwound, they recruited a ton of orders (more precisely, they received money from trusting customers) and were safely shut down, never sending their books, refrigerators and laptops to the addressees. Therefore, carefully check the information about the seller before making an order. And, if there are any doubts, look for another place for shopping. Now there are a lot of them.
Does not promise the buyer anything good store or auction, registered in some free domain of the third level. A serious company will not live in such a place - its address will be short and self-sufficient. Learn the coordinates of the store: physical address, phones (necessarily city!), Information about the registration of a legal entity or a private entrepreneur. It will come in handy to you if problems arise with the receipt of the goods. You will call and write letters to a very specific company and file complaints against a specific abuser, not an abstract Internet address.
The last two years in Moscow, the service for ordering products via the Internet has become very popular. You make a shopping list on the site, choose a time that is convenient for you and wait for you to bring home food (usually the next day). The pros are obvious: there are no queues in the cash register, you do not need to carry heavy bags. However, if there are a lot of names in your order, you can not get exactly what you wanted - another brand or another quantity. Most likely, by chance. Therefore, for accuracy, check the contents of the packages you brought. Even experienced Internet housewives do not recommend buying perishables from online stores. After all, with delivery anything can happen, and the use of minced meat of a three-day freshness has not been proved by anyone. Therefore, it is better to order cereals, potatoes, water, household chemicals. Something that is heavier.
The number of online auctions is now growing like mushrooms after the rain. The same happens with the army of fans of shopping on the web. It's simple: at auctions you can buy a branded thing at a price lower than in the store. You can find a rare product, the issue of which has already been discontinued, etc. They sell everything there: clothes, handbags, laptops, phones, snowboards, books. The auction is a platform for bidding between private individuals, who can be both "open" and anonymous. Buy either at the price indicated by the seller (as in the store), or play in this auction and "fight" for the thing you like. Here, scammers come out into the arena. To increase the importance of things in the eyes of the buyer, they create a buzz around the lot: raise rates and leave good reviews about the product. You once again see the value of the thing (after all, 15 more customers can not be wrong) and you understand that you need to act faster than others. You look back at the crowd of the same suffering people, call the maximum price and relax, only after receiving a notice of purchase. In such situations, the value of the lot is increased by 30-50%. This trick is purely psychological: when you join the game, you can not stop and automatically continue to raise your bids. Only after the end of the transaction comes to you the realization that the thing you bought a couple of minutes ago was not so necessary to you. Therefore, go to the process with a cold head. If the price starts to grow rapidly, try to breathe smoothly and reason soberly.
Experienced buyers are advised to order online items that you already saw (touched, sniffed). For example, you can select and taste the toilet water in the store, and buy - on some site. Delivered goods must be accompanied by information on the possibility to return it within seven days. This is described in the notes to art. 26 of the Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights". However, shoppers with experience say that in case of which it is not easy to do. Be attentive if a credit card is indicated as a method of payment - it's worth using only on proven sites, otherwise there is a risk of hacking (it is minimal, but still). And remember: no online seller has the right to be interested in the PIN code of your bank card. Do not enter it anywhere except in an ATM. For payment it is better to use specially designed payment systems: WebMoney, "Yandex. Money". And watch out if the seller is interested in your passport details.
And yet, in spite of a lot of dangers, the number of purchases made on the Net is increasing every day. It would seem that things sold on the Internet can not be sniffed, touched, tried on. However, the fact remains. An important role here is played by price: in an ordinary store, the value of the goods is increased by the rent, salaries of the seller, cleaner and cashier. Online stores do not have such costs, so they can play on a slide. The second unconditional plus - the delivery of goods at a convenient time for you and the place. And the third one - no one imposes anything on you, you calmly study the assortment, compare prices and conditions on different sites. But the most important thing is that you save time and make a purchase in conditions that are comfortable for you. For example, at home for a cup of tea or at work during a break between the compilation of reports. Making an order in an online store, we get convenience. And for convenience, we are sometimes ready to pay very, very expensive.
