India is one of the biggest markets in all
over the world. With the adoption of the new open economy, several countries are
companies have come into Indian market with delightful offers. However, in
several cases it has been found that consumers feel cheated when they used to
buy from these companies under the promotional offers or discounts. A lawyer for consumer court pointed out
that customers usually feel reluctant to complain until the amount is very big.
This makes the companies also reckless in their attitude while offering false promises
or discounts. However, the lawyer further said that it is better that customers
must remain cautious while shopping from the companies during sale or in a
normal situation. Here are some common tricks that companies and sellers
usually use to attract the customers.
Reward and gifts are one of the very common
tricks that companies use in order to attract the customers. However, one must
remember that no company will offer anything by incurring a loss. In most of
the cases, it has been seen that the rewards or the gifts are already either
added in the cost of the product or the price of the product during offers get higher.
Therefore, it is advised to check such hidden things before jumping for the
offer.
One of the most popular tricks used by the
companies is by offering massive discounts. Even 50% to 70% discounts are
generally offered. It is near to impossible to give such huge discounts. The
tricks these companies used play is by increasing the price before offering
discounts, so when they offer the discounts their margin of profit remains
same. Addition one on one is another lucrative offer that companies provide to
their customers. They apply the same tricks of raising the price earlier and
offer the same product with one on one discount. However, it helps the
companies not only to increase the sales but also to increase the volume of the
sales.
Once the discounts and offers are taken
into consideration, it is the product such as health drinks and others, which
also are being sold with tricks. There are several companies, which claim that the
products are having natural ingredients beneficiary for the health. However, in
most of the cases it has been seen that these are completely false claims. However,
customers used to have those products in good faith. However, there are people who
used to also buy creams and other things based on the claims by the companies
that it will make the people fairer, taller, or slimmer. However, in most of
the cases these claims are proven to be false. Even in some cases it has also
been seen that the users are having bad side effects. these are completely
false claims thus a customer must be aware of their legal rights and if they
face any consequence they must seek the help at the consumer court.
Mostly all of us used to visit restaurants
often or seldom. However, a common thing that has been seen that larger
quantities of food with nice decorations are illustrated in their advertisement
or menu cards. Nevertheless, at the time of order, it has generally seen that
the quantity is not that much. This is another issue that customers must be
aware. There are international pizza and burger companies used to show that the
product can feed a number of people but in reality, it is seen that even a
single person could feed on it with difficulty.
Guarantee and Warrantee are two of the
issues that customers must check before they are purchasing something. In
several cases, it has been found that the product that has been purchased by
the people is having manufacturing defects. In such cases, if the product is
covered under warrantee or guarantee, the customer will get a replacement or
free repairing. Nonetheless, if the product is not cover under guarantee or
warrantee it will be highly difficult for someone to get a proper solution
against any kind of damages. However, in many cases customers also used to have
confusion between guarantee and warrantee. In case of guarantee, the customer
is entitled to get replacement of the product as it is in case any defect is
pointed out. However, in case of warrantee, the company is liable to repair the
product until it comes under the warrantee period.
Here are issues that customers usually used
to face while they are purchasing something. Companies always try to deceive
the customers through lucrative offers but a good customer must look for the
hidden issues first in the offers only then they must take the decision to
purchase the product. However, sometimes the companies used to give false
comparisons which ultimately carets problems in the decision making process.
Additionally, there are sometimes terms and conditions are also written where
lot of things are being written, thus it sometimes become little difficult to
avoid the traps of discounts and offers. Further, a lawyer suggested that one
must always demand for the proper bill for further acquaintance.
