In this era of digital technology where almost everything is done online, caution has to be taken when carrying out some activities like shopping online.

Even though it is very convenient to shop online and get goods delivered to your doorstep, there are things you should NEVER buy online.

Here are some of such items:

Cars:

Buying cars online might give you the advantage of price listings and buying at the cheapest price but it is highly advisable to test drive a car before buying it.

You don’t want to buy a car with engine faults. However you can use the online platform to book appointments to see and test a car but never ever pay before seeing it.

Prescription Drugs:

It is very dangerous to buy any kind of drug online. They may be expired or adulterated.

Perishable Food:

It’s alright to buy canned food online but buying perishable food such as tomatoes, onions, carrots etc. is not advisable because you won’t be able to pick exactly what you want and parts of the food might have gone bad before they are delivered to you.

Designer clothes and accessories:

When you see a designers item as a ridiculously cheap price, there is a high likelihood that such item is a knock-off.

Like the saying goes if its sounds too real to be true then beware.

 

Most of such ridiculously cheap designer items comes funny looking logos, name missing a letter; sometimes juxtaposed or substituted with another alphabet.

 

 

Expensive Jewelry:

Expensive jewelry such as gold or diamond earrings, chains wristwatches etc. should be bought in reliable jewelry stores where you can buy what you feel is worth your money and ensure it is not fake.
