hese days, you can find anything online. From the rarest products to the most esoteric services, there's a web site. You can shop for everyday items, or for special occasions. Small businesses as well as large mega-multinational groups all have a presence, and many will have a shopping cart. The fashion industry, in particular, has a very strong presence. You can buy shoes, make-up, and bandage dresses online, all with just a few clicks on the mouse.
Many sites promise the lowest prices, free shipping, fast delivery, and even free gifts with certain purchases. While all those sound great, it is important to gauge the quality of the products, the stability of the company, and the post-sale service.
1) Quality is very difficult to judge when shopping from a screen. Naturally, all vendors claim to be the best. To really determine the quality, we must first remember the old adage that if it seems too good to be true, well it probably is. Ordering the least costly items may actually cause not only disappointment but could cost you more in returns and aggravation. Look for detailed descriptions: for example, a site that describes their bandage dresses online with terms such as €thick fabrics€, €heavyweight bandage material€, and €excellent construction.€
2) Look at the website site carefully. If you can't tell how much they charge, or what exactly you're getting, leave immediately. Take a few minutes to read the ABOUT page and learn some basic background about the company. What country are they located in? Do they take pride in their business and their product? Do they provide plenty of easy to find information with regards to their shipping terms and their return policy, in case you need to use them. Be aware of sites that offer very cheap dresses but charge an outrageous amount for shipping and handling. Ensure there is a Contact page, with, at the very least, email contacts or a contact form. A legitimate business will be more than happy to answer questions and communicate with their customers.
3) Security: Is the website secure? Make sure it starts with https and has the little lock icon before entering your credit card information. On your side, use a computer that has virus protection and never use public internet access. Never give your bank PIN or any financial passwords.
4) References: Common on sites that cater to other businesses, consumers usually don't get the same advantage. You can however ask friends and acquaintances where they shop for their clothes.
5) Once you have made a purchase, you should receive an email confirmation. Keep all communications from the seller and from the shipper. Once you have received your dress, if you have issues with the product size or fit, there should be no problems arranging for a return.
Bandage dresses online abound. Do your homework before sending money, and you'll be a happy girl.
