Online shopping is probably one of the easiest way to shop especially when we're out of time. You must admit you've done online shopping for a while, but the thing is "Do you know what you're doing?", "Are you even saving?", "Do you compare physical store prices and online prices?", " Do you read product reviews?"
One of the most mistake we do is buying into unfamiliar website, not read product description, not knowing what you're buying and many many more.
So here are some tips for a successful, thrifty, bargain online shopping!!
1.ALWAYS USE A FAMILIAR WEBSITE.
Start using a familiar website, if you've never heard of such then look for reviews of that site. Some of us might bump into this deceiving website because of the cheap prices, but no no dear, never look for prices if you haven't look for the website reputation first. Never risk you bank account details just because its cheap. ALWAYS and ALWAYS BE SAFE. Scammers are always on the corner,
2.USE PAYPAL
Every legit online shop, apps uses paypal these days. It's the most safest way to shop online. If you don't get what you ordered, you can always get your money back thru dispute! If you don't have a paypal account yet, just sign up it's easy as 1.2.3.
3.LOOK FOR MERCHANTS COUPON/DISCOUNT CODE.
Applying for discount code can save you a significant amount. Tty not to purchase without it as most online shops have active discount coupons every month. Try and look for website that posts coupon shop codes or contact the donline shop support itself and ask if they have an active coupon code.I always use then and gets $10-50 discount code on my single purchases. Keep on looking, you'll see one!!!
4.MAKE USE OF REFERRALS.
Most website have these referrals, invite a friend and get $10 voucher, some even give $20 voucher on each invite you get from your referral code. Make sure that when you refer someone they get the right link or the right referral code for you to get the voucher. Imagine you invited 5 friends and you get $20 on each of them when they placed their FIRST purchase, thats $100 free shop for you.! Here are some websites that has referral bonus.
a. OZSALE - You'll be eligible for free shipping on your first purchase and entitled for $20 voucher on each invited friend.
b.CATCH - Youll get $10 when your invites made their first purchase plus your friend gets $10 as well.
c.BUYINVITE You receive $20 voucher when your invited friend made their first purchase.
5.Know whats to good to be true.
Most suspicious websites that offers too low prices is suspicious. Go back to number 1 (using a familiar website) helps alot.
6.ALWAYS CHECK THE SHIPPING TERMS.
Look if they provide tracking and insurance and understand the carriers they use.
Lastly, always obey your gut feeling. If you think it's a risk, don't do it. Follow your instincts.
Happy shopping!!
