Busy people often find it easier to shop online than shopping malls. After all, you can choose things at any time convenient for the buyer, even in the middle of the night, and couriers will deliver the purchase to where it will be convenient to pick it up - home, to the office, to the nearest metro station. Every year there are more and more people making purchases on the Internet. If you decide to join them, it will be useful to know a few rules.
It is necessary
- - the Internet;
- - MasterCard or Visa;
- - PayPal card.
Instructions
Step 1
So, you stumbled upon an online store that sells the necessary item. Don't rush to place an order right away. Make sure you are dealing with an honest seller first. Read reviews on the Internet about the store itself and the quality of the products it provides. If there is a forum on the store's website, or customers have left numerous reviews of the offered goods, do not flatter yourself. A dishonest seller can either remove negative reviews or hire someone to leave complimentary comments. Your best bet is to find information on non-independent forums or personal blogs of buyers.
Step 2
If everything is in order with the decency of the store administration, you can start shopping. Register on the site and activate your account via the link that will come to your e-mail.
Step 3
Now comes the most enjoyable part. You need to select and place purchases in the virtual shopping cart. To do this, an icon with a grocery basket drawn on it or a button with the words “add to cart” will be located on the site next to the product image. If you later change your mind about taking something, you can go to your basket and delete it.
Step 4
If you buy clothes, do not be guided only by your usual size, look at the table of correspondence of sizes and parameters. These indicators may differ for different manufacturing countries.
Step 5
After you have made all the necessary purchases, carefully study the payment methods. Most of the Russian online stores accept regular Visa and MasterCard cards, but foreign stores prefer PayPal cards. Also, some Russian stores will send you goods with cash on delivery, and you can pay for it when you come to the post office to pick up the parcel.
Step 6
Many online stores will ask you to choose the delivery method yourself. So you can come to the office of the company, pick up your purchase in person and pay nothing for delivery. The purchase can be delivered to the address you specified, and the courier will call you back and specify the time convenient for you. This type of delivery is the most expensive. Also, the courier can bring the goods to one of the central metro stations (such delivery is either free or costs a penny). Of course, all these types of delivery are available only for residents of large cities, which have offices of the company that owns the online store. All other buyers will have to be content with postage.
