Shipping & Delivery Information

Secure Shopping

Why brave the crowds at the shopping center when you can enjoy the peace and comfort of shopping from your own home? As more people embrace the convenience of online shopping, instances of online fraud have also increased. However, with a few simple precautions, you can still enjoy a safe shopping experience.

Using a Credit Card

Purchases made with a credit card for amounts between €100 and €30,000 are protected under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act. This means that if you pay for a product (online or otherwise) with your credit card, the card issuer is jointly responsible if something goes wrong. If the retailer goes bankrupt or you never receive your goods, you may be able to claim a refund from your credit card provider.

Ensure a Secure Connection

Before entering your payment details, look for a website address that starts with ‘https’ and a padlock symbol. These indicate that the website is secure. If the padlock symbol is broken, the security is compromised. Only enter your credit card details on sites with a secure, unbroken padlock. You can also click on the padlock to verify the site’s certificate, which will tell you who registered the site.

Buy from Reputable Stores

Most businesses now have websites, and you can often find great deals from well-known brands. If you find a product at a lower price or on an unfamiliar website, search online to see if others have reviewed or mentioned the site. Also, ensure the site provides contact information—if there’s no way to contact them except online, consider shopping elsewhere. Even legitimate sites should have multiple contact options in case issues arise with your order.

Track Your Orders

Always review your payment and delivery details, carefully read the terms and conditions, and verify that the charged amount matches what you agreed to pay. By keeping track of your order, you’ll quickly notice if any problems arise, allowing you to take action sooner.

Trust Your Instincts

If you have doubts about a website or feel something is off, don’t proceed with the transaction. A professionally designed website doesn’t always guarantee legitimacy, and if an offer seems too good to be true, it could be a scam.
