Some Shopping Advice
When we are with somebody, do not buy anything. We will not have a discerning mind then. For example if you will feel shy to examine something in detail because you do not want him or her to wait. The only thing we can do when we are with somebody is to survey the price or to do just windows shopping.

Do not buy anything on the spot. It is always good to go back and think about it first. Most of the time you do not need the thing.  The things you need is something that you realize at home etc. To implement this systematically, you should have a list of the things to buy before going out for shopping.

When you have doubt, do not buy it.

When a retail outlet cannot give you a cheaper price (when you ask for it) it does not mean others cannot.

Do not think that if you buy something big, you will get a discount on the small supplement thing. Price survey is still needed for the small thing. For example, I once bought a camera cheap but rechargeable batteries expensive from the same shop.

When buying an electric appliance, go to the customer service counter to observe which brand has been rejected.

After buying one thing, use it immediately so that you can find out any flaw early.

Make friend with the seller. It is not for getting discount but for enlarging your circle of acquaintanceship.

If you want to reject a product, it is better to write a defect report than to go there to explain defect yourself because
a) the customer support may be busy and we need to wait for him or her to listen to our explanation.
b) the place may be noisy and it will affect our communication.
For this kind of thing, isn't it better if you do not have to say a thing and just let your report do the job? Download: product_defect_report_template.doc
