Pay attention to the location of the dealer

Foreign online retailers do not always keep what the product photos and article descriptions on the internet promise, warn the consumer protection authorities. Often a return of the ordered goods is not possible or associated with additional costs. Therefore, consumers – especially with suppliers from China – should pay attention to what conditions apply to the return, for example. Otherwise, seemingly cheap offers can suddenly turn out to be an expensive failure. Tip: The consumer advocates collect complaints. They have compiled a list online of which retailers from the Far East have had problems in the past. They advise to avoid these shops.
