5 Tips for Safe Online Shopping


The shopping season commences from Black Friday. And clearly the merchants want to continue the shopping festival so it's no shock that the intro of Cyber Monday has been an advantage. It gives people a chance to purchase any items that they may have missed buying during the weekend sales or any other items. The end of the year, loaded with celebrations and festivities has a number of sales or offers and promotions available across most brands both online and offline


So if you are heading to shop online, let me convey tried and tested 5 tips for safe online shopping


Well, just like we are on the watch for those compelling online sales, there are plenty of scams out there waiting for you. In order to experience a safe and seamless online shopping experience, take note of these tips to shop safely online: 


 1. Digital payments – Boon or Bane?

The amenity and comfort of digital payments has resulted in overspending. My suggestion to those that manage to overspend is- do not use digital pay-mode during the deals. Cash enables you to maintain your spending in review and also reconsider every purchase deliberately. So set a suitable budget, release the cash and then embark out for shopping.


 2. Check the reliability of the website: 

Once you've made your list, reviewed the ongoing online deals ensure you shop from reliable, known retailers. Make sure that the site is secure amd uses Secure Sockets Layer encryption to keep all data concealed from potential hackers. A protected site's URL starts with HTTPS and not HTTP. Only once you have the credibility of the website proceed to feed in your payment information and shop away.

 3. Shopping on public Wi-Fi :

Sipping on a coffee or spending some alone time in a cafe may seem like the perfect scenario to complete your online shopping. Well, it is also an invitation for hackers to acquire access. Using general unencrypted and unsecured wi-fi links is an unquestionable NO. And if you simply bear to do it, make certain to employ a VPN (Virtual Private Network)


 4. Keep your eye out for the holiday scams:

Shopping frauds are out there over the year. But the holiday season sees a peak in online scams, causing otherwise vigilant consumers victim to these scams. The need for trending presents, fast selling sales result in several bogus online shops being set up. So, if it's too good to be true, it may merely be a scam. 


 5. Makeup: The sneaky one

Makeup sales hit the ceiling during the deal days. A lot of people buy makeup that either they have never used before or numerous pieces of the items that they use due to the tempting pricing. Well, these items are both smallish and sneaky so two things are bound to happen :

 - 
They get misplaced in the drawer and you never use it 

 - 
They will expire.
