Disadvantages of buying furniture through an online store

However, not everything is so smooth. Such purchases also have their drawbacks.

• Unfortunately, you can get on the site to the scammers. In such cases ask for payment in advance.

IMPORTANT! You shouldn't part with money right away. The conscientious employees of a reliable online store always receive payment only upon delivery of the furniture.

• If there is no diagram of the internal structure of the model, then there is no certainty that what is needed will be brought. Not every assistant will tell the truth about how, for example, a closet is arranged inside. One customer needs 5 shelves, another customer needs 1 and a bar for hanging clothes.

ADVICE! In such cases, it is necessary to unpack the delivered goods, check the design and only then pay. And the best option would be not to contact a resource that does not post all the necessary information.
