It’s quite a challenge to resist online shopping being a millennial. And if you have successfully run an e-commerce start-up in the past, the researcher in you will keep you motivated to add more to the knowledge stack. I have recently come across the online e-commerce website – Rosegal.com.
Please note that this is not an affiliated or paid blog.
I am sharing my experience of shopping at this website- “Rosegal.com” for the first time here. I will also take you through the points to consider while shopping at new websites.
- URL – Check if the URL starts with HTTP or https. Here “s” stands for “Secure”. Secure means that the website has ensured your personal details are safe and encoded which means the details are not available for access by unreliable elements on the web. You can also find a “Lock” icon before the URL starts to confirm if it is secured. You can confidently go ahead with the payments using your card on these websites. All the points mentioned above are duly covered by Rosegal.com and hence it is secure. Happy Shopping!!
- Reviews – Reviews on a scale of 5 and the number of page followers make a difference. You can access the reviews by simply searching about the website followed by the term ‘Reviews’. The reviews can be checked referring to various social media portals like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc or simply Google it. The come can be considered valid based on the posted content date. If you see fewer reviews, make sure to search about the website well and gain an understanding of Website creation date, their contact us page and refund policies.
- Sign Up Process – While registering your account on the website, ensure to unselect Subscription emails. This is also one of the ways where the hackers can get access to your email ID and hence confidential details. However, if the website is secure in nature, the email subscription option would be feasible leaving you with updated offers in your inbox. Many websites offer discounts upon registration on the first time purchases made. Thanks to Black Friday, I got amazing deals at products and shipping was also free.
- Payment Checkout – Your personal information is crucial especially if it is related to your finance. Hence, pay attention to “https” in URL on this page while making payment at the time of Checkout. Fill out the required details marked with (*) symbol to avoid exposing details that are not compulsory to complete the process. Make sure to double check the number of products being added by you in the cart. If you are a first-time shopper, go ahead and add the Coupon code to avail discounts on your first purchase.
- Contact Us Page – This segment usually has a form with fields like your details and a segment dedicated to raising your concern. It is always good to raise a query on this page as it allows you to understand the turnaround time of the website. These days, most of the website’s support team is reachable on Facebook Messenger,
WatsApp and even Instagram to answer your queries in due time. Many websites like this onehas a Live Chat option where you can interact one on one with the support team to clarify your concerns.
- Refunds and Returns Policy – Rosegal.com has an amazing support team actively taking care of queries raised on the Live Chat. In case, you are somehow not getting a response in the due time, do
check-out the FAQ segment which usually covers all the concerns regarding the purchase being made. It is always best to communicate on emails so that you havea written proof in case of serious escalations.
I have received my order and it took longer than expected but the customs clearing can be a reason for such delays. Due to the festive season and international shipping, I was wondering about the package’s tracking status. However, once it was through customs, it arrived in the due estimated time given by the shipping partners.
The products arrived in a well-packed parcel and I shall share the picture on my Instagram tagging the website.
