Buying online carries risks. Not going to a physical store to buy the product we want can lead to more scams: there is no human contact and you don't have a place to go in person to file a complaint. The fact that it involves risks does not mean that it does not have to be safe: with the appropriate precautions we can succeed in any transaction we make online
In recent times, online sites have proliferated following in the footsteps of veterans such as Aliexpress: conglomerates of Asian stores, such as Joom or Wish, that sell items at knockdown prices, from clothing to accessories, passing for household items and other weird and fun items.In addition, all these sites have a mobile application from which it is very easy to buy: anyone with a bank card can purchase a product in one of these stores
And since we have said that buying on these sites involves risks, we are going to tell you 5 things you should know before making any purchase on Joom. We have received a large number of comments in which you see us complaints about delays and sizing issues That is why we have seen fit to warn you about these 5 things. Let's start.
Your order will take a long time to arrive
An item purchased in Asia can take a long time to reach Spain. And when we say 'a long time' we mean up to months. Each store that sells on Joom establishes its own delivery times, but these cannot exceed, in any case, 60 days. If your order has exceeded 60 shipping days, you can always claim your money back.In this detailed article we offer you everything you need to know about how to return a product ordered on Joom.
Please be aware that if 80 days have elapsed since you placed your order and you have not requested a refund, Joom may deny it and you may be left without money and no product.
Better with Paypal account
This advice extends to all purchases you make online. If you can create a PayPal account your purchases will be much safer. Because? Because if the business accepts payment by PayPal, you will only have to connect your account with the store and not have to enter any account number. And with the refunds you will have it easier: if you have paid with PayPal you can claim the order from their own page and they will contact the store. If the seller refuses, you can open a dispute.
Sizing in Asia
Look carefully at the comments of the garment you want to buy. Often, if there are problems with the sizes of that store, a buyer will point it out in the comments area. Whether you have to buy a size more than the bill, or less, surely some beneficent soul is in your help to lend you a hand. If nobody makes a comment about it in the comments area, it means that the sizes are correct: each comment also attaches the size that the customer bought.
Item may differ from storefront photo
Surely you have seen that meme that warns about the difference between the model wearing that beautiful Joom dress and when you wear it. And it is a fact: the dress will look more beautiful in the storeAssume that it will have less shine, that the fabric will be of lower quality... At least you are buying a dress for very few euros.
