Dangers of Purchasing Goods Without Seeing Them

What are the dangers of purchasing goods over the phone or without seeing them?

Shopping Over the Phone

Although buying goods and services over the phone can be convenient, there are some downfalls:

• You can not inspect the goods before you buy
• Sending goods back that are not what you ordered can be costly
• Goods may arrive broken
• Goods may look good in a picture but not so good when they arrive

You really do not know who you are talking to over the phone, they could be dodgy.
