There’s every reason in the world to shop from online baby stores in South Africa. Shop when it suits you and get your order delivered straight to your door. The bargains for baby gifts are there and if you do your homework, you will find special discounts or voucher codes that will save you a lot of money. Shopping for baby gifts has never been easier or more convenient for consumers. And in the age of COVID, it’s safer than going out even if you’re fully masked and gloved.
But you may be putting yourself at risk when you shop online and you don’t know what red flags to watch out for. Here are some things to tip you off that the online baby store you’re shopping on may not be trustworthy.
Look for online baby stores that shows you when their products are out of stock, this will ensure that you won’t pay for a product and later been told you must wait because they are out of stock. Afterall, you need the baby gifts to be delivered the same day if possible because babies grow so fast. Shipping time must be specified, and a tracking or waybill number must be provided on ordering. Return policy must be clear and hassle free.
Start at a trusted site. Search results can be rigged to lead you astray, especially when you drift past the first few pages of links. If you know the site, chances are it’s less likely to be a rip-off. Beware of misspellings or sites using a different top-level domain, those are the oldest tricks in the book. Yes, sales on these sites might look enticing, but that’s how they trick you into giving up your info.
If nothing else, make absolutely sure you’ve got a concrete address and a working phone number for the seller. If things go bad, you have a place to take your complaint. In fact, call them before you order so you can clarify a return policy and where to go with any issues after the purchase.
Never buy anything online using your credit card from a site that doesn’t have a safe payment portal for example PayFast. If you see something wrong, pick up the phone to address the matter quickly.
