Hi Mas Bro and Mbak Bro,
Ever bought anything via online?

Online shopping nowadays has become a favorite shopping alternative among people to cater for their needs of daily life, from primary, secondary and even tertiary need.

Not few people who’re doing online shopping are less prepared or let’s say they just ‘spend away their money’ when buying something. In fact, there are several key points people need to know so that they won’t incur losses and finally regret it.

There are many fatal evident as a result of reckless buying, like: getting cheated, misplaced order, color doesn’t match with your expectation and desperately waiting for oncoming item.. umm, so sad..
That’s why -to at least minimize that risks- a prospective buyer must prepare several things before they buy online.

Those we’ll share you the tips in the article as follows:

1. Internet Connection
One crucial aspect to prepare before you do online shopping is, of course, internet connection. No way we can do any online transaction without being connected to the internet access. So, to ensure your shopping travel goes smooth, you’d better owned a stable internet connection to prevent any unwanted things happen in the middle way. Agree?

2. Prepare Your Shopping List
Before scrolling down your finger to search and buy product, you determine first what product you need to put in your shopping list. Try best to stick to it, means that you buy only what you need.
Is it gadget?
Bicycle?
Computer? Name it..
Fixed enough with your list? Now get ready to start searching your product through numbers of online sites available (Be mindful with your list). Don’t forget to look at the product which is in-stock only, ok?

3. Find out the Market Price
Don’t get too rushed on buying things. Find out the market price first. Check on the information about it. Take a slight peek on different online shops and compare their prices, choose the standard one so that you won’t get deceived by high price and cheap one. Doesn’t feel good, right?

4. Prepare your Cash
It is a compulsory to prepare your money before shopping. Money is one fatal component you should have with you while shopping. Doesn’t matter whether you have it cash or stored in your bank account. Make sure you have enough supply to purchase your items and don’t forget to consider the shipping cost as well.

5. Do Little Research on Online Shop
This is important cause you must only want to buy in a trusted online shopping, yeah? So, do some research on it. You can’t overlook this importance. Make sure the online shopping has a real customer and real testimony.

6. Join in Marketplace
Marketplace is the answer for a safe online transaction. It will help you to ease your anxiety from untrusted sellers. Cause the system uses, what we call, agent as the third party to bridge between seller and buyer.

Any payment you make to the seller must come through the agent first. After the agent confirms your payment, the seller sends your ordered product. Then after you receive and confirm it to the agent, that’s when the payment is transferred from the agent to the seller.

So it is, so far, the safest method of online transaction; very little chance of any money-abuse happens using this system.

7. Don’t Get Tempted by Cheap Prices
Cheap price is always tempting. But it doesn’t mean that cheap price is always bad. Yet in many cases, the quality, in fact, is not as good as it looked. Therefore, we suggest if you find a product with the price lower than the market price, please do check on the detail product. We don’t expect a broken product wrapped up nicely with fancy cover, right?

8. Don’t Get Fooled by the Picture
Picture does have an important role in online shopping. But before you decide to buy, make sure your vision don’t get fooled by the picture displayed. It’s not always true that what we see is what we actually see.

Example, when you want to buy a purple color shoes. In actual, the shoes are blue. But because of the camera setting, it’s looked like purple. And you like it and order that shoes as displayed on the picture. When you receive it and have it in your hand and see that it is not the color that you’ve seen before, what do you think?
Do you feel upset?
Or happy instead?

9. Understand the Specification Detailed
Understand the detail specification of the product is very important before you buy. Especially the physical condition on its vital part. If necessary, please ask your buyer any questions you need to know about the detail product so you won’t regret anything in the future.

10. Keep Safe the Receipt Payment
After completing your payment, don’t dump out the receipt. Keep it with you for some times as a proof payment. It can be a bill that list out names of the seller, buyer and amount of payment.

That’s all 10 tips of all we need to know before shopping online and what you need to do so that you –as the customer- will never get disappointed ever..

Hope this article helps you well.
Happy to share with you all.
