Over the past few years people have been buying more and more products off of the internet. However, many people are still reluctant to buy more expensive items such as televisions online, preferring to go into a shop and buying them in person. Although this may feel safer, many people do not realise that as well as the incredible savings available, there are laws set up to protect them when they buy goods online.
Distance selling regulations mean that buyers get protection from payment card fraud, a cancellation period of 7 working days in which they can withdraw from the contract, and they receive information about the supplier, goods and sale in writing. Which means that you are safe to buy anything online, no matter how expensive. And there are many benefits to shopping online rather than in store.
Firstly it is much more convenient; you can browse hundreds of products in the comfort of your own home and are not restricted to any shop opening times. There is also much more choice: companies can put a wider range of larger products such as televisions online than they can fit in a store. But one of the biggest attractions for many buyers is that buying online is usually cheaper. You can get a cheap LED TV from us for a fraction of the price that you would have to pay in most electronic shops and with our unique collection service you don’t even need to pay postage and packaging, a cost that can often bump up the price of buying online significantly.
