We’ve all been there. Okay, I have. I promised myself not to step on the same rake twice but boy, those online deals just got me big time. But it doesn’t mean feeling disappointed after opening up your freshly delivered package is fine. And there are things to be done about it.

First, whatever you buy, always check the return policy on every website. Be sure you will be able to return the item if you’re not happy with it and unfortunately, not all online shops allow it.

The other tip is simply to buy from trustable websites. Make sure it has previous reviews, a nice customer service team, and contact numbers to talk to in case something goes against the plan.

I don't even understand how something was in the system for that long...did the retailer forget to send the item? Because a parcel being in UPS's system for a few months would just get returned to the sender...even if it was lost, surely they must sort through lost/missing parcels every year at some point. I don't even understand how a parcel missing for a decade could even happen...

I truly do not get people who get scammed by these dress sellers.

And if you can’t find anything via image search, don’t automatically assume it must be real. Go back to the product photo and see if it’s at a weird angle or doesn’t show the whole design. Most likely been cropped as much as they could do stop it appearing as a match

I only buy from trusted sellers if within online shopping apps. In our country, we have an app that only people who bought from the online store can give comment/feedback. They will also give you a coin/points if you give ratings, feedback and post a photo of the product you received. So I usually check the photos if they will send you the real deal. If the rating has bad review or 1-2 stars only, it is a red flag for me. Good thing, most customers give feedback and share photos which help other buyers in selecting which item/stores are legit.

Just because there is a positive review does NOT mean that it was actually reviewed by someone who purchased the product. Read the "negative" reviews. ANYTHING you buy that is made in China will always NOT fit and will NEVER look like what you purchased. You will always get nothing but garbage. The best thing that you can say about anything you buy that is made in China is: "it ain't broke." I don't buy it if it is made in China. Japan is good, Taiwan is good, US is great, Germany is great, India is maybe, but not and Australia is good.

There are a few sites I feel we should all get together as a society and ban from the internet. You guys remember when Amazon started selling from all these shady a*s companies? These online retailers should be verifying the merchandise for one. Also, people don't need to ever go onto wish or AliExpress for anything. Can we all collectively stop buying s**t from shady sites? You see those prices? You notice how it seems ridiculously low compared to all the other similar items you have come across? You did not find a deal, you found a fake replication. Stop buying them and spare the environment from the inevitable addition of this s**t into our landfills.

Ok...read the description. 50% cases gone. Do not shop on sites that already appear fishy or from third-party sellerd on major sites that lack credential. 25% more gone. Never think you really made a unbelievable bargain, since it is never to good to be true. 20% gone. The remaing 5% cases on this series are true fraud.

No, that's still 50% scam. If it doesn't fit the description or picture, it's a scam. What you're saying is that you believe 95% of these are easily bypassed. I disagree. You have no idea how much some of these terrible dresses sell for.

Okay, as someone who orders a LOT of stuff online, here are my tips; ALWAYS check the reviews. Positive, but NEGATIVE most of all. If the negatives are something you can live with, then go for it. Also, read more than one negative review, if possible. Always, ALWAYS check the listing carefully! Often times sellers will bury pictures of what the product actually looks like somewhere in the post, so they can say you got exactly what you paid for. MEASUREMENTS. Check them. I keep a sewing measuring tape nearby my computer, so I can double-check. Many times a listing will have a tiny version of the product as the default one selected, so they can appear cheaper than they actually are. If in doubt, REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH. Shady sellers are notorious for stealing images from other companies, crafters and other individuals. There's a very high chance it won't look the way you think it will, since they didn't actually create it.

Shopping for a sun hat to wear hiking on Amazon, I noticed that several changed their appearance greatly when you clicked on different color options. I took that as a sign the product they shipped might disappoint me. With many online purchases, especially from less-than-reputable vendors, the old adage comes to mind: "if it looks too good to be true, it is"

If you're ordering from a company you've never used before, research them first. At least Amazon (which has tons of problems ranging from how they treat their workers to not taking down pages for fakes/scams) has a guaranteed refund policy. It even works if you never receive the item. I was porch-pirated twice, and Amazon just refunded my money, no issues.

From a shop without any accurate contact information? The only way to get your money back is if you were wise enough to use Paypall to do the payment.

I have to say that The two most hated I have come across are WISH who just never send what you order and when they do send something it is in one 4 months to get here and second was the wrong item the wrong size, I had to fight with them to take it back which they would not and then I wanted my refund. HUH!! Then there is the T Shirt company off facebook Twice I have written to them to find out where my ordered T Shirt is ? they took my money but I got nothing in return and am still fighting over it.. Another Company that is the biggest rip off is Fortuniapri they are out right thieves and liars. They sent the wrong article last year sis not want it back and I demanded a refund. Instead of a refund they have since stolen two amounts out of my account for NOTHING. I had to cancel my card and now I have to get that money back DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM. They have an office in Sydney they say but in reality it is just a phone number. Nothing more.

I always go to the customer reviews and read the worse ones. It reveals a lot more about the product than you expect. I never read the good reviews because most of the time the sellers has either had friends and family to post them or done it themselves.

FaceBook is notorious for scams and FB refuses to take them down. I have reported several scams on FB, and all they say is we won't show you that add again. For an example there was an add selling a Kubota tractor, with all attachments, for 350.00. The actual tractor sells for 8,000.00 and up. Caveat emptor!

I know the people who got bad baby Yoda stuff are disappointed, but they should have paid attention. Jon Favreau said they did not release merch ahead of the show to keep The Child a surprise. When all these things started showing up, they were not Disney/Star Wars products, so I knew they would be poor quality. Buyer beware, and be informed.

It's all fun and games until I actually can't tolerate the mild and casual racism in the comments here especially when they assumed that everything bad came from china. Probably 7 out of 10 made in china objects you have are not even that bad. I am not a citizen of china, and here in my country, most of the home appliances, phone, fashion, etc, are either made in thailand, vietnam, or china, and they are from the western brand. And that's on you if you didn't read the review or bought things from sketchy seller or crappy sites. How unfair it is to label the whole country, while we rarely see people label the whole america because they have a massive arsehole ruling as a president.

As I posted above, there are a few FREE tools that you can use to reverse search for an image anywhere else online. This way you can see if the seller is using someone else's picture/model to sell their junk on Ebay! Another thing, are you people researching the seller or product? A quick Google search for seller name/product name, etc., can usually bring up a fake seller, you're not the only ones who fell for it probably, do some Research before you buy!

I bought too much from Zulily, a supposedly reputable company. One shirt in the image was beautiful, gorgeous flower on the front. Sadly, the material was cut without trying to match that. Ugly plain green shirt. Several pieces out of terrible fabric and no returns then.

"You get what you pay for" (not that everything is worth the inflated price that is asked, of course and everyone loves a bargain- like a BIG DISCOUNT) and "If it's too good to be true", it most probably is. And to echo what others have already said... we need to STOP buying cheap plastic and other sh*t from China. Full stop.

We buy a fair bit online and have had only one disappointment. Always check the measurements so you don't get doll size items. If there are none email the seller and ask for them. Also only buy from sites that show customer comments.

0points

Vicki Kloske 4 years ago

Good rule of thumb: if they don't show you faces of the people modeling their "goods" there's a good chance that this is a scam. Also, check for their site for a return address. If it just says "email us for return instructions" be wary.

I needed a small USB drive to give to a funeral director with music to play at my aunts funeral. Did my research, read reviews, spend time on amazon and ordered a good one. You will not believe what I received. Instead of a USB I got an Elton John CD! I suppose they kinda rhyme. Contacted seller and got no reply.

Protip for buying from potentially crappy sites - image search their product photo and find out if it's from somewhere else. The answer is usually "Yes, it is stolen".
