Things to consider while shopping online

These include very basic term and conditions to some complex technology-related aspects as well, and we will be sharing them with you today. Whether you choose to buy electronic gadgets from us, paklap.pk, or something else from any other online store or website, these are the common things that possibly apply almost everywhere. As the universal fact stands, there are positives and negatives to probably everything in the world, and same is the case with online shopping. We will discuss both positive and negative aspects to consider while you browse through any tab or online store you are looking on.

 

  • Shipping/delivery costs: if you’re going to get something online, it is pretty obvious that you won’t go to the outlet to pick your product, right? And oh, in some cases online stores don’t even have outlet so then that option is completely out of the list. Usually, online stores will deliver your order to your delivery address. Some stores charge a fee for that, while others do offer free delivery. Some stores have policies that offer free delivery if you order over a certain amount, so it is important to read that because if you are a little less than that amount, you  may add something important to your basket and save the delivery fee. While this free delivery on bulk items may attract some customers, it may also demotivate the ones who just want to buy a couple of small items. Moreover, your shipping costs may also depend on certain factors including, but not limited to, your address, size and dimensions of the product, date you want your order to be delivered, etc. Most stores do mention the time frame it would normally take for an order to arrive, so make sure to take a note of that as well. As in the case of ones who do not state the certain time frame, rest assured, your order should arrive within 30 business days (in most cases it takes less time than that). 

 

 

 

  • Product details: reading each and every thing about the product you are ordering is crucial. Especially in the case of electronic gadgets, you should check all the features, specifications, model, size, color, etc. before you hit the button to order. If you order from paklap.pk, we offer you each and every detail regarding your product so that you can make a well-informed decision. Make sure to dig in to more pictures related to the item and don’t trust just the edited ones displayed. If you visit trusted websites such as paklap.pk, we offer you the most realistic pictures available. In other cases, you may request the stores to provide you with more visual images, if need be. 

 

 

 

  • Go through product reviews: when making a decision on what product to buy and you find yourself a bit confused during the process, consulting to customer reviews is recommended. This can be a very trustworthy source to get raw and honest information from as the customers are just ordinary people like us trying to get their way around online shopping, sharing both their good and bad experiences along their very own ride. In the case of electronics, reviews regarding laptops, mobile phones etc. are very helpful because once you know the specifications and features of certain devices, it’s crucial for you to know how these features translate into customer use and if they are worth the price or not. You should not be 100% dependent on these reviews, but getting a gist through them is what we suggest.

 

 

 

  • Exchange/return policy: different companies have unique policies pertaining to exchange and return of their products. Some may offer exchange of the product until two weeks, while some may offer more time or neither at all. At paklap.pk, we do offer exchange or return of our products, in respect to certain terms and conditions which you can easily view online on our website. This one is important to know because you might get a wrong order, or face an issue with your product and if your seller is trustworthy and co-operative, you should be taken care of easily without any further heated arguments. 

 

 

 

  • Website authenticity, Payment scam and fraud: dis-honest practices are less, but they are still a sad reality of the world we thrive in. To tackle and not be a victim of this practice, we must educate ourselves. Firstly, whenever you open a website, you should see if a “padlock” sign appears on your search bar, right next to the link of the website. If yes, this means that this is a safe and secure website. Moreover, you should always use what are known as “Google Trusted Stores”. Paklap.pk is present on the trusted sources by Google, hence showing our credibility. Before making an online payment, it is also important to check if they require some unnecessary information such as your ATM Pin code, etc. if they do, it is probably a scam. Also, you can tell by the look of a website if it is a genuine one or just a scam. Genuine websites are well-constructed, with addresses, online chat options and what not. You can even call or visit the given address to make sure that the source you are buying from is credible enough for the money you will be giving them. After all, we at Paklap make our customers our top priority, erasing the entire possibility of scams and frauds at paklap.pk. With us, you shop safe and secure, without any dangers of the illegal practices.

It is also crucial for you to compare prices of products, especially when you are buying an electronic device that is expensive.
