Price

Compare with retail. Not all organizers are working honestly and not added to the cost of Hidden percentage. In addition, sometimes buy a retail discount cheaper. So to compare and consider.

Probability peresorta

Usually the organizer indicates how often a particular supplier confusion happens when collecting the order - comes the color or size. If rare, the risk of getting not what ordered below.

Responsibility for peresort

Basically it falls on the buyer. We got a thing of a different color or size - resell independently. But sometimes it takes the organizer itself, and you are reimbursed in whole or in part.

Responsibility for marriage

She usually goes to the organizer, but it is better to clarify.

Shipment of packages, boxes, dimensional rows

To buy products, the organizers do not just collect the right amount of visitors. For example, if the order can only size range, we must find a buyer for each size. In the best position are those who managed to top procurement have the choice of most. On the other hand, you can wait indefinitely when you find who wants the last thing in the line.

Minimum order

It indicates how much to collect the common efforts to buy back the order. The greater the amount and less active purchasing, the longer you have to wait for the goods.

Additional expenses

These include the percentage of the organizer, shipping cost, shipping postage of the goods from the seller to you. Do not forget priplyusovyvat them to the price to see how much it will cost you a thing really.

But the majority of organizers are working to bypass the tax, and even ask for the transfer of money to the card did not specify in the payment, so as not to get into the field of view of the Federal Tax Service. Therefore, the challenge getting faulty goods difficult. The law on consumer rights only applies to the relationship between the SP or legal entity and the buyer.
