Shopping Tips: Keep these 5 things in mind before shopping during festivals..

The festive season is near. With Navratri, Dussehra, and Diwali, e-commerce websites are flooded with shopping offers. Companies like Amazon, Fl.pkart, and Myntra are offering huge discounts, cashback, and attractive deals. But behind the shine of these offers, there are many dangerous traps hidden, by avoiding which you can make smart purchases.

Today we will tell you 5 such things that you have to avoid during the festive season.

Avoid buying under pressure.
E-commerce websites try to put pressure on customers with time-limited offers, countdown timers, and messages like 'stock is running out'. In such a situation, shop by making a budget and avoid buying in a hurry without research.

Do not fall into the trap of false discounts.

Many times e-commerce websites first increase the price of products and then lure you with huge discounts. To find out the real discount, compare prices on different platforms.

Don't compromise on quality.
Heavy discounts of up to 70% are often on older models or old stock. Check product details, customer reviews, and warranty information before buying.

Pay attention to cashback and freebies
Pay attention to cashback offers as they may have hidden terms and conditions. For example, despite a 10% cashback, the maximum limit may be only Rs 2000, which may reduce your actual cashback.

Beware of hidden charges.
Hidden charges like shipping, handling, return, and processing fees can reduce your discount. Find out about all these additional charges before shopping.
