If you don't take proper precautions while doing online shopping, you can save yourself from being victimized by cyber criminals.
Online shopping is in high demand in the present internet age. After the corona virus, this online shopping has expanded more. But minimum precautions should be taken while online shopping. Otherwise we are more likely to be deceived. In online world one should buy only after making sure which is fake or genuine. If anything looks suspicious, it is best to stay away from such items and sites.
Website Company
Photos of attractive clothes or items are placed on the websites so that they can be bought on sight. Many ads are given on social media to get them to buy. But experts suggest to be cautious about such websites. It is important to check the complete address, landline number and other information of the registered office of that website. If their complete information is not available on any company's website then it is best not to buy items from such site.
Cash on delivery
In reputed companies and websites, we pay in advance and order the goods. But recently many new companies are appearing in online shopping with different names. Advertisements are flooding with attractive offers. But blindly believing such things is not good. If you buy the item online and pay there, there is a risk of cheating by the respective companies without delivering them. It is better to pay on delivery if shopping on new sites. That is to choose cash on delivery option. If they do not provide this option then it is better not to buy from such sites. Sometimes they offer more discounts if you pay at the time of shopping. Better to ignore them and opt for cash on delivery.
Quality
Anyway, if you buy with the hope that offers and discounts are being given, you will get poor quality goods. This is the situation where we have to be deceived. So before buying any item..see the photos, reviews and rating given by the people who have already bought it..make a right decision whether to buy that item or not. If you buy low-quality products at a low price, you will suffer later.
Warranty, guarantee
Some items come with warranties and guarantees when shopping online. Consumers must check the warranty while buying electronic items such as AC, TV, Fridge, Microwave etc. It is better to buy good quality products with long warranty.
