Online Shopping Tips: The Ultimate Guide

Source: Pinterest

With rising social media and digital media, it is no surprise that we are drawn towards online shopping. From window shopping to an Instagram post, online shopping is a magical land that everyone wishes to try. However, every good thing comes with its limitations. Though it is making our shopping range too wide to explore. Simultaneously, it can disappoint you as well.

We have all seen online shopping hauls before and after pictures. In the world of excellent marketing, advertisement and photo edit skills, it is crucial to not judge a book by its cover. Today we will take you on a small guide to ensure that you get what you like. Like an online investment, you need to know more before you put your money into it. From the quality of product to security details, everything needs to be on point. We do not expect you to be a pro shopper but understanding the basics is crucial. 

Secure Shopping

Did you ever pay more than the actual price of the product? Did you ever get unwanted subscriptions as the website sneakily added it in your cart? Unlike popular notion, security means more than bank frauds. It also means no hidden charges or price jump at the point of payment. One of the key factors is to look out for the SSL connection. Loosely translated, it ensures that you are on a safe and secure website. 

Also, opt to use a credit card instead of debit cards. Not only it can save money but also help you in case of fraud. Most credit cards come with insurance. In case the card details are stolen, you can skip paying money, unlike the debit cards. If possible, try to shop from reliable websites especially when you are placing big orders. Another important aspect is to ensure you use secure, private WiFi for online transactions. This is to avoid hacking and compromising your credit card details.

Pay What You Ask For

One of the reasons why some of us are skeptical is due to the quality of online products. Variation in color, design, working quality can be off-putting. Always read the review. You can go on different websites to read the review of the product. While some reviews may seem sketchy, look out for one’s with pictures available. Also, take a note of the seller. Websites like Amazon, have different sellers. Read what people are saying about the authenticity of the product. You can also check out YT hauls or reviews. Also, check the dimensions before buying. In the case of buying clothes, take a look at the type of clothing materials. For reference, the model’s height is also provided. Compare it with yours to get a good idea.

Spend a Little Less

While we do get awesome deals online, is it bad if we save more? Always ask for a discount on live chat. One of the great ways is to check out the promotion post on influencers’ social media. Many influencers provide discount codes and there is no harm in using one. Try to shop between Tuesday to Thursday. You can find products in stock. Small brands usually put better offers during holiday seasons. You can use Honey plugin to get the best discount coupons. Also, sites like Ebates offer referral discounts. Websites like Yahoo Shopping helps in comparing prices across different websites. Also, if you can wait, leave the cart as it is. Many a time, websites lower prices or offer exciting discounts for you to buy. Also, opting for in-store pick up can help you save on shipping charges.

Guide to be Smart Shopper

Always check out the website or seller’s return policies. Is it self-shipping? Or do they require the original package while you return back? These details are important to know in case you decide to return the product. Also, check out the address and customer service of the website. The address of any seller or website should be authentic. Customer service response is also vital. In case you buy from an Instagram account, always inspect the account. Usually, reviews can be seen on YT or stories of the account. Always discuss the return policies and refund payment with Instagram sellers. Make sure you check these before you buy anything. You can use this website to check price history. Also, clear cookies before you buy so that prices do not rise up.

Enjoy Your Shopping!!!

Here is a list of companies that provide free shipping without a minimum bar in the US. Try to avoid shopping on Sundays. Prices are usually high compared to weekdays. Also, if possible, use an app for purchase. Many websites promote their app by giving in-app discounts. Try to team it up with favorable payment options. Specific banks give an additional ten to fifteen percent discount for using their cards. Don’t hesitate to complain if you feel cheated. Make sure you are satisfied with every penny spent on your purchase. Using these tips, we hope you have a wonderful shopping experience.
