Don’t you just love that feeling when you click on the ‘Buy Now’ button, and something you always wanted arrives at your doorstep, within a few days? Things start becoming a challenge when what you wanted turns into your biggest nightmare, that cannot be returned or exchanged. Money down the drain, dealing with apathetic customer service reps, a whole lot of aggravation, until you finally give up. So, for your own benefit, take a look at the 5 things that you should never buy online
Cars & Bikes
We highly recommend test driving any car or bike you are considering. Online car listings are good for making price comparisons but to actually make the purchase you need to get off the couch and actually visit a dealership or a seller to check it out. It will save you a world of trouble later on.
Paint for your walls
Of course you can surf through a plethora of shades and samples online before deciding what will suit your new bedroom the best, but if you order it online and get paint that turns out to be three shades darker and ten times chalkier, what will you do?
Prescription drugs
An absolute no-no, you should never order prescription drugs online. Not only is it illegal in most parts of the world, it poses a great threat to your well being as well.
Designer knockoffs
To save yourself from the embarrassment of wearing fake logos (Rebook for Reebok) and insignia’s, avoid buying counterfeit items off the web.
Shoes
Popular culture recommends ‘changing the shoe if it doesn’t fit you’. However, online stores don’t let you do that for every pair that you order and receive at the door. Why don’t you save yourself the trouble and buy shoes that deserve your time, money and feet?
