Online shopping is lit. With few clicks here and there, all your items are in the checkout basket and you get them delivered right to your doorstep! The fun part is, with your Flexx debit card, shopping online is even much easier, safe and convenient.
However, there are some things to take note of to avoid being scammed when shopping online.
- Check reviews and online testimonies: Find out the number of good reviews on the product you’re about to purchase and even the brand itself! You don’t want to order an item with complaints. Factor time of delivery, quality of a product, customer service and more when doing your reviews
- Returns/Cancellation & Refund policies: It is important to confirm these policies before making payments. Some businesses have a no-refund policy and if you have any issues with the product purchased, you might have to forfeit the money paid.
- Payment methods: There are 2 major payment methods – the online/transfer or the pay-on-delivery options. Always check what options are available and go with what you’re most comfortable with.
- Time of delivery: Ensure you confirm the time of delivery to your location when shopping online, especially when you need the items urgently. Some businesses can take up to 3-5 working days before your item gets delivered to you, while others take weeks.
