Hello everyone and welcome to a new post!
Today I'm going to talking about online shopping, it is very important to know if what you're buying online is actually going to arrive at your door or if it's a scam and they've just taken your money.

The best way to know this is to know people who can tell you about their experiences using it and not having any problems. This doesn't mean you're guaranteed to not have any problems but it does reduce the chances. It's important to know that some companies can be fake and others not.
Let's begin! I have picked out 5 online shopping sites. Some are ones that I use and am familiar with and others are ones that friends and family told me about.

Amazon
This was definitely going to be the first one, it is one of the most common and most used. By now people know that it is trustworthy, but is it?
There is word that some company's are not legit. The way to know this is to look at the reviews of that product and there will be in little red writing a "Verified Purchase". If the product seems new and there are no reviews or anything you can either risk it not being legit and buy it anyway or wait until someone buys it and leaves a verified review.
Amazon is good for buying products in good quality. They don't tend to come damaged or anything like that.
Wish
This is another online shopping application that is used a lot. This is because it has a large variety of products at a low price.

In the sense of it being legit, it is similar to Amazon, not all products will arrive because not all companies are legit. But Wish will let you know that it is verified so you know that it is legit. If you find a product that you like but it is not verified, you can easily navigate through the application to find it verified because many companies sell the same products. Some even sell it cheaper so it's a good idea to compare products as well.
Another important thing is to keep an eye on the price of delivery, something can cost £1 and another exactly the same can cost £2 but the delivery of the first one could cost £5 and the delivery of the second product can be £1. Meaning that the first product is actually more expensive than the second one, even though it may not looks that way.
AliExpress
I have not used online shopping site before but my friend said that it was a good one.
She said that two times that she ordered her stuff it never arrived, but if it's at least over 5 euros it has always arrived.
I know people tend to buy stationary from here, like notebooks and stuff. There's not much left to say about this, I don't know too much about it.
I might make some more posts about online shopping but for now this is it.
