The WoW Style

Today, more and more people are switching to online shopping instead of hitting the road and traveling long distances to malls to shop their favorite goods. Internet shopping not only allows one to shop from a varied collection, but it also helps enjoy discounts and save their hard-earned penny. And when it comes to shopping for body piercing jewelry, there are a lot of online retailers that offer high-quality items at affordable prices. But before you fill up your online shopping cart with your favorite body jewelry, consider the following things to have a safe and sound shopping experience:

1. Check the Security of the Jeweler’s Website: Before you click and land on the jewelry’s website, make sure that its URL starts from HTTPS and not HTTP. The “S” in https means “secure” which ensures that communication between your website browser and the website is encrypted.
2. Check for Online Jewelry Store Reputation: To make sure that the online retailer you are shopping hold a good reputation, look for customer reviews. If the reviews appear genuine and good, then you are safe to shop from the jewelry website. Many retailers have accounts and groups on various social networking websites like Facebook. Have a look at them and read customers’ feedback to ensure that they have a good reputation.
3. Use the correct jewelry for your piercing: There are different types of body jewelry to suit different types of body piercings. Wearing the wrong jewelry can cause discomfort and even wear and tear of the skin tissue leading to infection, cuts and other harms. So, it is advisable to understand beforehand what kind of jewelry your piercings will need.
4. Be sure of the Size: Ordering and getting incorrectly sized body jewelry is not just frustrating but it’s also a waste of money in case you are not able to return it. To make sure you get the perfectly sized jewelry, read its measurements properly. Get to know the accurate numbers of the gauge and the length/diameter of the item you are about to buy.
5. Read the Product Description: Read the entire description of the body jewelry before you put it in your shopping cart. Sometimes, the picture of an item may not match its description or there can be other errors. Also, reading the product description is important to ensure that the specific piece of body jewelry is the one you are looking for.
6. Look for Return/Refund /Exchange Policy: Get to know the policy the online jewelry store offers to handle exchanges/ returns, and/or refunds. It is wise to read the policy before ordering something so as to be aware of what options you will have later. Some companies have strict rules that you would be forced to follow if you shop before reading their terms and conditions.
7. Be aware of the Transportation Costs: Never buy from retailers who ask for more than required shipping charges. Many shoppers end up paying more on shipping than on the actual jewelry item. Look for jewelry stores that offer fine body jewelry with subtle shipping charges.
