CHECK REVIEWS

It is highly important to check the review of the product you are purchasing. If the e-commerce website doesn't have reviews feature, avoid buying from that site itself. Reviews reveal a lot of important information regarding the product

COURIER DELIVERY

Some courier companies do not service to specific locations. Do not forget to check with your courier company whether shipping is available at your location. If it is not available, you must look for an alternative and also check for latest tracking modules.
