Online shopping

I check reviews of an e commerce platform on Trust Pilot before I delve into making any purchase with them. When it gets mostly positive reviews, it would get my patronage.
 
I always go for shopping on popular platforms and in India we do have lots of choices so we can go from Flipkart, Amazon, Jiomart, Meesho, blinkit
 
There are 100s of e-commerce websites and many are not good. I won't say they are scam because I have no proof regarding that and I am not interested in trying these new ones and stick with amazon for my all online purchases.
 
Some of them might not be scam but have very poor customer service. Like I have seen cases where products gets delayed from their end due to poor follow-up.
 
You also need to look for after sales service and return policy and if they issue complete refund because in my case Amazon provides all this
 
Yes Amazon provides this, but most of these online stores do not. Which is why you need to be extremely careful when making a purchase from them. And to be on the safer side, just purchase from a well known online store.
 
This is why I like Amazon and it has proved in it's years of service that it's the best and have best offers for shopping.
 
Actually and to be honest I rarely shop online but I only prefer to shop on a popular websites to avoid being scammed.
 
Never shop from a non trusted website because these websites are not secured and you cannot even return the product and get money back.
 
All most everything is now online. Technology have made things easier and it's left for us to choose what we want. Even though we have scammers that pose online as legit sellers, same way we also have genuine people selling their markets online.

I can buy online because others are buying from me but first I will make sure I go through your wall to know what and how legit you are.
 
I love online shopping, if I could I would never leave my house and just do it all online. My husband is very more cautious then me,
 
I know its more convenient and that's why I am very rarely buying clothes online

Even though I am very comfortable with shopping online but clothes are going to be the last thing I am going to be willing to buy online because of my bad experiences with some clothes vendors that have purchased from.
 
Online shopping is something I enjoy doing very well because it is more convenient and easy for me to get whatever thing I want to using online stores and have it delivered at my doorstep.
 
Shop from local online store (based in your country or town) and use cash on delivery option. This is what I do.
 
How can one protect themselves when doing online shopping? How do you know that the site you are shopping on is secure?
Do you also tend to read reviews of a site before making any purchases?

If you are not familiar with any specific online stores, you shouldn't make the mistake of using it to shop.

There are very popular online stores that have been known to be legitimate, it is what you should be making use of.
 
i do but i use Apple Pay for everything
