YSK SUGGESTIONS: 
Online shopping is a good option over traditional shopping but can sometimes be disappointing. To avoid any hassle keep the following points in mind :

  • It is best to choose a cash on delivery payment option while shopping online.
  • Do not trust the images bluntly, do read the product description carefully and the material of the product.
  • If you want  to receive a product on a particular day, take a lag time of atleast a week..
  • Dont forget to keep a screenshot of the product you have ordered.
