I am a proud online shopper and I love it!
In this time and age when traffic is getting worse and time is very expensive since I need to juggle work, baking and Kdrama watching (oops!), online shopping is the next best thing!
For me, time is money. I prefer accomplishing tasks in a shorter span of time possible. Last month, I needed to find regular and miniature Hennessy for a cake order. It was hard to find the miniature bottles in the stores near me but thankfully, I found a seller in Shopee. You might say buying breakable items in Shopee is very risky. It is, but I will share with you how I managed to buy products online without being scammed or disappointed.
Buy from Shopee Mall
Buying from official Shopee accounts of different brands or stores is the safest way to go. They are labelled as Shopee Mall sellers. These sellers complied with Shopee Seller eligibility criteria and are therefore more trustworthy sellers of Shopee.
Make Reading a Habit
- Read product description to make sure product expectations are met.
- Read customer feedback about the seller to check the first-hand experiences of previous customers about the product and the seller.
Trust Your Instincts
When you think the is seller or the item being advertised is somewhat off, trust your instincts. Never ignore the red flags. However, being able to discern the trustworthiness of a person or company is not that easy. I will not undermine the fact that the ability to judge the trustworthiness of others may be honed by becoming one ourselves.
