Precautions to be taken on Black Friday
Black Friday 2023 is a great opportunity to buy products with incredible discounts, but it also requires some care to avoid scams and frustrations. Therefore, before making your purchases, follow these tips:
- Be wary of offers that are too good to be true. So, research the reputation of stores that offer exaggerated promotions and check if they have contact details, CNPJ, and security seals.
- Check the shipping cost and delivery time of the product. Often, the discount offered may not compensate for the cost and shipping time of the product, especially if you are urgently required to receive it.
- Track product prices before Black Friday starts. Some stores may increase prices before the event and then offer a false discount, a practice known as “price fixing”. So, to avoid falling into this trap, use tools that allow you to compare the historical prices of products, such as Buscapé or Zoom.
- Find out about the exchange, return and refund policies practiced by the store. Before finalizing the purchase, carefully read the conditions established by the store in cases of regret, defect, or dissatisfaction with the product. Check if there are deadlines, costs, or restrictions involved in these processes.
- Check the company details and the purchase price before completing the payment. Make sure you are on the store's official website and that the address starts with “https”. Also check that the purchase price is correct and that there are no undue or additional charges. Prefer to use secure payment methods, such as credit card or bank slip, and avoid transfers or direct deposits.
By following these tips, you will be able to enjoy Black Friday 2023 with greater peace of mind and security. Remember that this is a date to save, but also to consume consciously and responsibly. Good shopping!
