3 online shopping habits you must avoid this Christmas

Can you believe it’s that time already? I must have hibernated through the winter. Suddenly, everyone is talking about work Christmas functions and the need to buy a new dress.

We love the convenience of the internet. Maybe too much? It allows us to avoid the crowds and shop. Casually. In the comfort of our home (and by home I mean bed).

If this sounds like you. Stay with us…

DON’T BE: LAST MINUTE MELANIE

I am often the last minute Melanie. Usually, it works out fine. Except around Christmas. Australia post does a great job, don’t get me wrong. They just get busy. Really busy. Between the stress of getting my package on time, I feel like my decision was rushed. I worry I will find a better choice afterwards.

TIPS

• Start browsing immediately.
• Set yourself a deadline to buy online to be comfortable it will arrive in time.

DON’T BE: BUDGET BUSTER BRIDGET

Yup. This is a tough one. It’s the battle between your brain and your soul. The two must come to a compromise. Meaning one will probably lose.

TIPS

• Consider frockoholics, who offer free shipping.
• Consider similar dresses on sale.
• Will you wear it again?

DON’T BE: BUYERS REGRET RENAE

Renae feels on top of the world. She buys online. Impulsively. If she get’s it wrong, it becomes anxiety inducing. To avoid buyers regret, do your homework. If you don’t know if a brand or style will suit you. Try it on in a store first so that you can shop with confidence.

Tip. If you cannot find your item in a store, buy early so that there is time to either return or alter.

Be Awesome.
