With the increasing number of devices already in the market and the demand for mobile technology rising each year, competition among manufacturers providing the latest in the industry are also growing. Most of us would not want the hassle to go to stores, being presented with a lot of choices while being recited a sales pitch. We can even be burdened to buy an accessory which we never plan to purchase in the first place. In other times, we cannot find the right accessory to suit our taste. This is why the convenience of online shopping is becoming the next big wave in today’s social life.
The internet, however, has become a hub of online scammers which pose to sell fraudulent products using different bogus methods. They may set up a fake store, get the unsuspecting customer’s information and receive payments even without an actual product to sell. We do not want to you to undergo all of that. The Peterson Group, distributor of mobile phone accessories and laptop peripherals based in Taiwan has the following tips to guide you in finding a legitimate online retailer of mobile phones:
1. They have a wide variety of specific items to choose from
While the latest in accessories always arrive in brand name, some of them come in generic branding. Choose the online store which can bravely differentiate a Samsung from a Sony including the unit specs and make. Vague information on the accessories can only mean they do not care about the details.
2. Make sure you are aware of the price
Of course, the prices should matter. And if we are already targeting for a specific accessory, it is already an instinct to check its cost as well. Review and compare other prices if only to be sure in the end.
3. Estimate the time of delivery
Will it be reasonable to get your delivery only after a week, if, say for example, you are in Jakarta and the online store states it is located within Java area? Indonesia may be an archipelago but if it asks that you wait for a long time even when you are in the same island, you should already doubt its legitimacy. Location can be a big factor on the delivery time and can also determine the validity of the online store. But don’t expect for it to immediately arrive at your door right after you have ordered it. Be reasonable. Three days should be enough in a local level.
