To ensure that everything comes out in the most perfect order, we prepared in today's post a practical guide to make your acquisition a success! Follow!
search for references
Seeking references is essential for a good purchase. Ask your friends and family if they know the website of the store in question and check if it has a tradition in the jewelry market. Another important tip to verify reliability is to look for companies that have serious partners, such as IBGM, ICA, GIA, among others.
In addition, look on the internet itself, in the electronic addresses of the complaint, if there is no negative mention. If there are too many reviews, discard. Therefore, do not make the purchase in an environment that you do not have any reference, as it may be stolen!
Be wary of prices far below market
Especially in the virtual environment, you need to be careful with unmissable promotions and sites that offer jewelry at a price far below the market. It may be that this online store is not reliable and that you end up buying a fake product or one of questionable quality.
Incidentally, always ask for the purchase invoice, which can be sent by email or along with the product. It is an important guarantee so that you can claim if the jewelry does not have the quality described on the website or presents any other problem.
Look for criteria that indicate security
If you even have references, but still feel that the site is unreliable, then do not provide your details. If you pass RG, CPF, bank account numbers, among others, you may be delivering precious information to sites that, in fact, are there to deceive the user and take advantage of the situation.
The ideal alternative is to look for an e-commerce that is equipped and protected by recognized platforms in the creation of virtual stores, such as, for example, Loja Integrada, the main e-commerce company in Latin America. Another security option is to buy only from stores that provide Digital Security Certificates, so that you can verify, as soon as you register or make a purchase, whether the e-commerce is safe. Also, pay attention to the payment methods that the store offers: check if methods like Paypal, Bcash or PagSeguro are among the options. These tools are important to show the reliability of the company you are selling.
Always ask for the guarantee certificate
It is with this certificate that you will be able to prove that you bought a legitimate part. In addition, it is worth remembering that the jewelry is produced in 18K gold and this must be stated on the certificate. The same goes for stones. It is essential that the originality of the stones is informed along with the product information!
The certificate will also be important when demanding the exchange of the product if it has a defect. If the guarantee is not issued, contact the webshop and even if everything seems to be fine, ask for the certificate. After all, if the stone is not real, then problems may appear later.
Be wary when information on the site is sparse
When entering the virtual store, it is important that it contains all the relevant data for the purchase, such as size, weight, name of the stone, and type of gold. It is essential that it provides a history, has the catalog available and an open channel for communication.
By e-mail or phone you will be able to solve your doubts and, if there is no way to do that, then the site is probably not reliable. When contacting the store, try to see if the attendant knows about the products and if he is capable of answering any questions.
With these basic tips, you will feel a little more secure when buying your jewelry online. These are simple attitudes, but that can guarantee the success of your acquisition!
Jewelry is a piece made to last forever, so research carefully! Do you know of another alternative that could be added to this guide?
