Shopping on the Internet has become an integral part of life due to its convenience and a large selection of goods. But some things should still be bought in the usual way, going to the store. It is these exceptions that you will learn about now.
Mattresses and upholstered furniture
Scrolling through the catalog on the site with upholstered furniture, you, being confident in the choice, order the goods. When it arrives home, you find that the quality, textiles and softness do not match your preferences at all.
The rigidity of the mattress is not suitable for the structure of the back and the health of the spine, the sofa seats are too soft, so it is uncomfortable to sit on them. The fact is that such things should be immediately tested directly in the store. After sitting on the couch for a few minutes, with your back well tilted, you will determine whether it suits you or not. On the Internet, you can evaluate furniture solely by external parameters, and learn about the quality of mattresses from reviews that do not always correspond to reality.
Only by comparing several options for furniture, you can make the final choice and make the right decision. Otherwise, you will have to issue a return for your purchase. Returning it to the manufacturer or supplier will only bring you losses.
Food with home delivery
Home delivery saves you hours of walking through the supermarket, stuffy lines and noise. You just need to choose the necessary product, which the courier will bring to the doorstep of the apartment within a few hours.
Everything looks good enough, if not for the fact that expired products may be put in the bag or the expiration date of which will expire in 1-2 days. In addition, you will not be able to personally select and inspect all vegetables and fruits. Some of them may be slightly rotten or completely unripe.
If you are worried about your health, then still buy products with your own hands, then you will definitely be sure of their quality, composition and shelf life.
Footwear
Shoes, unlike clothing, should be chosen more carefully and finicky. You cannot buy it one size larger, like a T-shirt, or smaller. It should tightly clasp the foot, but not put pressure on it, that is, sit perfectly “on the leg”.
It is difficult to assess such characteristics on a store website. Even if the length of the foot perfectly matches the shoe, it may not fit in the width or height of the instep. Remember that each manufacturer has its own size range. Therefore, when choosing the perfect boots, sneakers or shoes, you have to measure shoes of different sizes in search of the most comfortable and suitable ones.
Expensive things
It is better to buy too expensive or antiques on your own in the store, and not order via the Internet. Paintings, musical instruments and fragile items simply cannot withstand long-distance transportation. In most cases, the delivery service will not be responsible for the safety of exclusive designer interior items.
At the slightest impact of the parcel on the floor, a piece or a whole part may break off from it. This will ruin not only the appearance, but also the quality and value of the purchase. You will have to write a formal claim and deal with the delivery staff for a long time. The result of such disputes will not always be in your favor. In the case of a musical instrument, it is advisable to check its sound and work personally, so you can avoid marriage.
Underwear
In terms of online shopping for lingerie, things are more complicated than with regular clothes. The fact is that if the ordered set or swimsuit does not fit you in size, then you cannot return them back.
Under the law, underwear cannot be returned or exchanged. Therefore, it is best to buy such products directly from shopping centers. You can take a chance and order underwear in the online store if you are as confident in the manufacturer as possible, you know its size range and have bought goods there more than once.
Jewelry
Discounts on jewelry in online stores stimulate us to buy the desired item, but in this case, you can make a big mistake with the size of the item. Unsuitable rings, bracelets or earrings will be difficult to return to the manufacturer if they match the specifications described on the website.
You may also come across an unscrupulous seller who passes off cheap materials for precious stones. To prove your case, you will have to work hard and in some cases even contact a highly qualified lawyer.
In addition, photos on the Internet can not always convey the real color, shine and shine of metal and stones. When the product arrives in your hands, you may be seriously disappointed. Some jewelry does not suit a certain type of face or appearance at all, so they are sent to the box for a long time. In order not to throw your money down the drain, go to a jewelry store and, without rushing, pick up a suitable set of jewelry for yourself on the spot.
Electrical appliances without verification
Even buying electrical appliances yourself in a specialized store, you can run into a fake or marriage. What can you expect from online orders? In no case should you buy such a product without checking yourself, until you are convinced of its work and quality. It is possible to issue a return to the online store, but for this you will have to issue an official claim, attach all documents confirming the fact of the malfunction.
The response from the manufacturer takes several months, then the electrical appliance is sent for verification. If the product defect is confirmed, then new equipment will be sent to you. You can avoid such problems and difficulties if you buy goods in a store where you can always quickly and easily resolve all issues.
These are the things you should avoid when shopping online. Leave for him only those goods, the quality and size of which will not disappoint you on delivery.
