Buying clothes and accessories abroad has never been easier.
However, be very calm at this time, the secret is not to rush, online shopping is very easy and can end up being addictive, which is why some rules are essential, write them down:
- Don’t act on impulse: Okay, it’s not easy to hold back when you see that bag of your dreams at a great price, delivered to your home and everything else. But that’s rule number one. After selecting all the products you fell in love with, review your shopping cart and think about it. Shopping in dollars seems very cheap, don’t forget about conversion and shipping.
- Don’t overdo your shopping: Keep in mind that the more products, or the more expensive your purchases, the greater the chances that, after paying the price of the product and shipping, it will still be taxed when entering Brazil. Therefore, the tip is not to exceed amounts above US$150.00. Prefer two smaller purchases and two shipping costs, rather than depending on the (non-existent) kindness of Brazilian customs.
- Be patient: Already buy knowing the following “purchases from abroad take time”. And often 15 to 60 days, more or less, depending on the country. But don’t forget, it’s very important to check if you received a tracking number and always keep track of where your purchase is. If the website does not provide a tracking number, ask by email, insist, you cannot be too careful. It is your right and your guarantee.
- Pay attention to the deadline: If three months (90 days) pass, you can make a formal complaint to the shopping website. Each case is different, but if it doesn’t arrive in 3 months, use the tracking code to check where the purchase is and negotiate with the store. In some cases they return a percentage of the amount paid.
- Buy from trusted sites: Today there are many reliable websites, search the internet for positive qualifications on the website, ask friends. Keep in mind that there are also scams and that no matter how reliable the site may seem, your purchase may never arrive.
- Provide your true and complete data: It may seem obvious, but it is important. Don’t be lazy, complete your address, name, and details carefully and patiently. After all, your purchase will have to cross oceans to reach you, it cannot guess where you are.
- Cash purchases: Start knowing this, you can’t pay in installments, not even through PayPal for purchases abroad.
- Pay attention to sizes: Especially if you buy shoes, as stores often get confused, or have a completely different size than what you are used to, the tip is to always look at the size of the pieces in centimeters. And it’s worth the tip: Chinese or Japanese stores tend to have very small sizes, while American stores exaggerate the measurements of L pieces (why is that?)
