Tips for online shopping

Posted by Jeffry Hahn on February 25th, 2020

How can you tell if the desired item like australian bodycare can be found cheaper in another store? Regular shoppers use price comparators before any purchase. Google Shopping is usually the most effective, because of the wide variety of stores it tracks and the calculation it makes regarding shipping costs. Advertise the price of the same item in all the stores you have tracked. The trick is to sort by total price (including shipping). Some stores add exorbitant shipping costs just before payment.

• Make sure the store has a good reputation

How do you know if a store is reliable, so you don't have a bad experience? We all know examples of digital scams. Before buying Perricone-MD foundation from an online store that you do not know, you should briefly investigate to verify that it is reliable

• Use coupon pages and discounts regularly

It is advisable to visit coupon pages and discounts often. Anyone can register to receive the weekly newsletter and get the latest coupons and exclusive discounts directly in their mail.

Also, these pages are very useful to inform you when your favorite store has sales or any special offer on Stila eyeliner.

• Verify where the order comes from

Sometimes using a price comparator, you discover a little known store with prices well below the competition. Before buying Clinique products, it is important to check where the article is sent from.

Certain sites send things from China (in the case of electronic items), at a much lower price than the market. That is usually written in the part of terms and conditions that the consumer does not read. In this case, you can take a nasty double surprise:

• The package arrives very late because it has customs.
• You have to pay a high amount to pick it up there.

If there are cases of people who have had to pay customs fees when receiving your product, this search will highlight them.

• Offline test, buy online

The problem with buying online is that you cannot see or test the items before buying them. Regular shoppers identify on the web what product they want to buy (by using expert blogs, opinions, etc.) and go to a physical store that sells that Lancome product.

• Go first if it can be found on eBay or a second-hand page

Before buying any high-priced product, regular shoppers check out eBay. It is possible to find a great discount from the liquidation of a store or company.

• Sign up for social networks and receive the newsletter of your favorite stores

In addition to following the coupon pages and online discounts on social networks, experts follow their favorite stores on Twitter and Facebook.

• Buy with a credit card or with Paypal

Although it is not strictly necessary to have a credit card for online purchases, regular shoppers usually use it. Because it offers the advantage of being able to claim a charge if it has been fraudulent (e.g., they have stolen your card and have bought something in your name), something that cannot be done with a debit card.
