Practical Tips When Receiving the Dress You Purchased Online

Online shopping isn't always sunshine, as there will be times when you may get disappointed with the product you receive because it's damaged or simply it wasn't something you expected it to be. Returning your orders, however, is a normal process in any online transaction and some studies discovered that two out of three web shoppers are "serial returners" when it comes to buying clothes.

 

But before you can truly make a valid return or exchange of the product, you have certain obligations too. In essence, you simply have to ensure that the dress in good condition when you return it. Here are some things you need to do.

​

 

  • If you personally receive the package from the courier, take note of any suspicious tear around it and inform the delivery personnel about it so that he knows you're aware of the condition of the package. Take as many pictures as possible.

  • Unpack the package neatly, making sure that you can still close, tape or seal the box when you have to return the dress to the seller.

  • Pull out the dress from its package carefully and slowly to avoid any tear. Make sure you don't remove any product tags on it until you're absolutely sure that there are no problems with the dress.

  • Inspect the product for any garment factory defects such as torn fabric or poorly sewn sections, and take as many photos as possible. You might also want to compare the actual colors of the dress versus those shown on the photos, if they matter to you.

  • When fitting the dress, especially prom dresses that touch the floor, consider doing so on top of your bed because the product could get soiled when you fit it on the floor or carpet.

  • Don't force the dress on you when it's actually smaller than you expected it to be; otherwise, you'll just damage it, which makes it invalid for return or exchange.

  • When planning to return the product or when asking for an exchange, make sure to do it within the number of days stated in the ecommerce site. You may also have to send the products through a specific courier company, depending on the seller. Usually, sending products through a post office is not recommended.

  • Note that clothes with discounted prices are often marked "final sale", indicating that they're not eligible for exchange or return. Thus, make sure to read the product description carefully before purchasing.
