The internet will always be full of trolls and scammers, it is inevitable. I have fallen victim to one, but don’t we all? Anyway, I know someday I have to overcome this fear because in the future the things sold online will be cheaper. I find this a great way to save money.
So, how should I overcome it? Research. Every piece of information we need is now on the internet, we just have to type and click. First, of course, you have to know what you are looking for. In my case, I need a new bed frame because the thrill of sleeping on a creaking one is not really working out for me anymore. Thus, I proceeded to check for a bed frame in an online store in Singapore.
Looking for options
I am not exaggerating when I tell you that there is a lot of bed frames sold online in Singapore. No to mention furniture, too. Having these thousands of options, you have to be very specific on what furniture you need. As for me, I need a storage bed. In Singapore, spaces are limited that is why I need the extra storage this bed can provide.
Knowing the furniture’s materials and size
Online stores are legally required to post the actual size of the furniture. If they did not do it, you can file a case against them. But first, you have to be a responsible buyer, meaning you have to know the various types of the numerical system. Once you understand this, you can create dummy furniture to accurately measure the furniture you saw online. More than that, you should be acquainted with the common materials used for that furniture.
Actual pictures
Always ask for actual pictures of the product to know you are not being scammed. As for me, I made sure that the bed I would be buying from has actual pictures to provide, and for me to know what is the color and design of the bed.
Legitimacy of the shop
This is a factor that is often neglected because they have provided all the pictures and information you needed. With that, you forget to check if the account is real. Being a victim of scammers before, I know that this is a crucial step. Thus, I do a little research on the company, look for certifications, and other proofs that they do exist.
Reviews of the product
Before I settled my payment with the perfect storage bed I found in Mega Furniture, I read their customers’ reviews of the product to be assured that the bed is high-quality and usable. What excites me is that all their customers left a 5-star review on the product they bought. Therefore, I am assured that they are legitimate sellers.
Sometimes, having this fear of buying online can save you from losing a lot of money. In the growing economy of Singapore, online furniture shopping is not a new thing anymore. They have more discounts that could save you a lot of money and still get the same product you see in a mall.
