4 ways to see whether an online store is really reliable

Online shopping is very nice and easy. There are so many online stores with one even better deals than the other. When you buy from a large and well-known online store, you can often make your purchase with peace of mind.

But when you end up at a smaller and unknown online store, it is sometimes smart to pay close attention. We will tell you how to check for yourself whether an online store is really reliable!

Check the buyer before doing business

Doubts about a buyer or seller? Use the website ‘Check the buyer‘ from the police and avoid surprises! You can easily search here by IBAN, email address, telephone number or the URL of a webshop to see if there are any known negative experiences.

Do you know the webshop? Know who you are dealing with!

You will often find contact details at the bottom of the website. Check this information to be sure to find out whether an online store is reliable.

• Do the contact details look reliable?
• Is there a Chamber of Commerce number, VAT number and address?
• Is this information really correct?

Too good to be true? That is often the case!

A smartphone for twenty euros that normally costs two hundred? That sounds too good to be true… and it usually is. So stop with prices that really can’t be beat.

Registered with the Chamber of Commerce? Check it out!

Do you want to be sure that the online store really exists? Check whether the webshop is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. Please note: the registration with the Chamber of Commerce itself says nothing about reliability, but does provide insight into how long the company has existed. Typically, the longer a company has existed, the safer it is to order from there.
