Have you ever felt betrayed and disappointed after ordering products on the Internet?
For instance, you read an awesome review of an electronic device you wanted to buy for a long time. You click on the link and start reading the reviews that are supposed to be written by real customers.
It all looks fine – everybody says how great this product is and how you should definitely have it.
At first, it looks like you’ve finally found what you were looking for. Logically, click on ‘Order now’.
Then, you receive your delivery, all happy and full of hope…
But it turns out that the device you’ve ordered has nothing to do with the amazing description on the product page or the positive reviews you read.
What actually happened? Unfortunately, most of those reviews we see online are fake – posted by bots or written by people who are paid to write similar patterned texts, regarding the great value of a particular item.
So, after receiving the item, you have 2 options:
- If you are hopeful and optimistic enough, you contact the online retail store, asking for a refund
- If you have encountered similar situations before and feel hopeless, you end up accepting the fact that you have just thrown some money in the trash
You are not happy with your experience in either situation, as you have spent some precious time and money, while you face some negative emotions and, probably, stress.
The sad truth is that this happened to most of us. And that’s the reason why we are doing our best to change that.
