What needs to be done if online shopping sites cheats you



These days, a lot many customers are regularly complaining about a lot many websites for non delivery of products, not giving discounts as promised, no refund in case of return, sending in damaged products or sending something else than what have been ordered or too delay in the product to arrive.
If you are also one amongst such customers, then read the pointers below to know what exactly needs to be done next.
Pointers to follow if you have been cheated online:
·         Register a free complaint with the consumercomplaints.in or the indiaconsumerforum.org, they will fight for your case to the best extent they can. Also, they don’t charge you anything so you don’t need to worry before filing your case.
·         You can also raise a complaint with other organisations which are getting very famous these days like the core.nic.in, consumerdaddy.com or akosha.com, they also fight for your rights against the online shopping sites to help you get back all that you have invested in.
·         Make a complaint to local police only if the website is local. Write about your complaint on various forums like yahoo, or other websites or on the very website which have cheated you. Leave your bad experience on your social websites like twitter and Facebook accounts so that the others also avoid the website.
Pointers on your part to avoid such happenings to your best:
·         Always make it a point to take a snapshot of the deal when you purchase something. Keep the reference mail in your mail box until you receive the order at its best. Use them when they don’t turn up to do anything which they have promised.
·         In case of any complaint with any of the online shopping websites, make it a point to call the very same website first, at times, only they resolve your problem in minutes. Like if you are using a voucher which has just expired, call the team so that they can renew you a fresh one.
·         Avoid things like card payment, where most of the times, the online shopping stores fail to refund you the amount. Hence in case your product is not delivered, you lose nothing. Similarly, avoid websites which offer too much of discounts or cash back promises, they always tend to be fake.
