From dresses that won't fit, colours that don't match with the advertisements, delivery woes and complicated return policies, customers have their share of harrowing shopping experience on the World Wide Web. Here is our advice on online shopping. Online shopping has become the new normal in recent times, thanks to the convenience and ease that comes as a part of it. With one click, you could buy anything from anywhere in the world, ranging from everyday household items to complex investments. While there are many advantages of online shopping, virtual shopping still comes with its share of disadvantages. Therefore, physical shopping has still retained a loyal fan base that still considers offline shopping the best purchase mode. However, both mediums have their pros and cons. The buyer needs to apply prudence and do thorough research before buying online.We have listed some things that should not be purchased online. Let's see a few of them. Car If you are buying a car for yourself, it is always better to do some research about it. Since it is an expensive item, it is not wise to seal a deal online. You might want to take a test drive and check its working condition, which is impossible via the internet. So, we recommend, buy your car or four-wheeler vehicles from brick and mortar stores around your area. Cosmetics from a new brand Even if the online cosmetic industry is on boom these days where a customer can look for attractive prices for some beauty product, you should be careful about the brands and their authenticity. There are several incidents of fake make-up products being sold online. If you are unsure about a particular company, their products and the ingredients used in their cosmetics, it’s better to avoid buying such items. You could visit a cosmetic store around your area, test the products on you, and verify them before spending your money. Furniture There are several reasons for opting for a store-bought furniture item than buying it online, even though popular furniture stores have a virtual presence these days with options like free shipping and discount coupons. A connoisseur would always like to touch and feel the item, evaluate its material, height, and suitability for his house before buying a piece of furniture. We recommend you to try the traditional way to purchase any such stuff for yourself. Weight-loss supplements It is unwise to fall prey to many weight controlling pills that are sold universally without knowing a person's medical history. It could do more harm than good for you.So, turn into a smart shopper and don't fall prey to the convenience of virtual shopping only to regret it later.
