What tips do you need to know if you want to avoid being cheated when shopping on the road?

As a former travel practitioner and a travel enthusiast, I have witnessed and fallen into the so-called "tourist shopping trap" because of my love for beauty, but this "shopping trap" is not unrecognizable.

As a senior travel enthusiast majoring in tourism management, you must pay attention to the following pits.

1.？ Never buy anything at the shopping spot of the tour group.

If it is a low-cost tour group, it is almost absolute to go shopping. Many times, these large shopping spots have cooperation agreements with tour guides or travel companies, and the premium will be very serious. Sometimes it is even 3-5 times the normal selling price of the commodity market, and tour guides or travel companies can extract 30-50%.

In addition, the products sold in shopping spots are likely to be three-no products or small workshop products, and the three certificates are not necessarily complete. Therefore, you must not be partial to the letter, and it is best not to buy things at shopping points. Even in daily life, when I see something more expensive outside, I will open the shopping website to compare the price and see if it is favorable, so I got my wife's evaluation.

2. Don't buy valuables, such as gold, jade, latex mattress and so on.

On the trip, especially with the group, they are often taken to some places where jade bracelets, gold and latex mattresses are sold. Five or six years ago, as long as they had been abroad, almost all of them had experienced this kind of thing, and some people were trapped. .

So don't buy valuables, and don't rule out the existence of good local goods. However, as a layman of tourists, it is certainly impossible to judge the authenticity in the first time. If only it had been found at that time, it could have been solved on the spot. But if you go home and find it, can you go back and trace it? Going back is too expensive, and the price of eating hard is too high.

Therefore, I personally suggest not to buy expensive products during the tour.

Shop around, go to different stores and compare prices online.

If it's not expensive but you like it very much, you can actually consider buying it, but you can visit several different stores and compare the same products in different stores according to your own choice. My family lives near Beijing Road in Guangzhou, and I have been used to these routines since I was a child. Even if I like it very much, don't buy it right away, or even bargain on the spot ~

In addition to offline price comparison, we can also take pictures of products, scan the pictures into shopping software for comparison, and choose the most suitable price to avoid being cheated.

What should I do if I am really cheated? How to complain about rights protection when you are pitted during travel?

1. Alarm is definitely the first choice when we encounter problems when going out. I believe that even if the kindergarten children know something, the general police will help solve the dispute.

2. If it is a consumer shopping center brought by a regular travel agency, we can even open the online reporting and complaint handling system of the national cultural and tourism market to make complaints, and staff will follow up soon.

The premise of the above two complaint methods must be to keep the transaction voucher, otherwise it is impossible to prove whether the transaction is here.

The above is my personal summary of the tips for never being trapped during the trip. Hurry up and learn!
