Buy Handmade with Confidence! 🌸
Share
Every handmade product has a unique story to tell. But in the modern world we live now, some things have changed, and we have lots of things to consider when it comes to safe 💻shopping online.
As a boutique handmade store, we realized that the handmade industry is often the victim of 😰counterfeiting, and many customers all over the 🌍world may have purchased a counterfeit item online without noticing it.
That is why we decided to write an 🎓educational post for our customers so they can recognize the websites that may sell counterfeit and non-original products.
Be aware of some 🚩red flags and always check before buying online!
🍀Do your research, and read some reviews! If the product is too cheap and seems like a great bargain and too good for its price - it could be a fraud! Handmade products can’t be cheap as a craftsman has to do a lot on his own: designing and assembling the product, photographing, marketing, packaging, posting and this list goes on.
🍀Look for huge spelling and grammar mistakes on the website. It can be an indication that the website was made in a hurry. We strongly recommend purchasing from the online stores that have a registered domain address in your country. In this way, you can protect your financial and personal information.
What other items is the store selling? If the store is selling a lot of odd items that don't match together, this can be a huge red flag 🤔that counterfeit products are being sold in this online store. For example: if a company is claiming to sell handmade products yet also has listings for bedlinen, fridges, cat food, toys etc.
💕We hope this info was helpful.
💚Here at Beliefs in Wreaths, each item is hand-crafted with love and passion, and we do everything to make sure you get a high quality items and are happy with your purchase and receive the best shopping experience.💕
