Hey there! Today I'm going to be posting about the wonderful world of online shopping. Also known as some good old retail therapy. Lately I've been purchasing a bunch of things online so I thought it would be great to post some tips for the people who aren't too confident in online shopping.
❤Check that you are on the official site. This means doing your research, and making sure the website has everything valid on it. For example; Picture Logo, legit web address etc
❤Use a secure method of payment where possible. For example Australia uses a secure site called Paypal on ebay and online stores. This helps your bank details stay private and not shared.
❤Check the postage price of your item. It may not end up being cheaper than in stores.
❤When do you need it by? It may seem sooner if you buy it online today then waiting to go to the shops in a couple of days, but you usually don't. Postage and processing takes time.
❤Check your online transactions through your bank. You have to make sure they only took out the correct amount and nothing more. No one wants to be double charged!
❤Double check all your sizes. If you are ordering from overseas you may need to convert sizes.
❤Check the websites return policy. Just in case those shoes were too small or that top fell apart. Make sure that the store are willing to accept those items back and a return of the money.
❤Official or Officially Fake? Some sites, like ebay the sellers are individuals and not necessarily a shop. This means that they can say that an item is real, but it isn't and you can't find out until you receive it and they can back out from giving you a return. This could be anything from make up to clothing brands. This is why I tend to stick to the official sites.
I hope that all this writing hasn't scared you off from online shopping, but given you that confidence to go and give it a whirl. You could find your next favourite thing!
