Although the winter ends only in September, many stores already carry the product promotion of autumn / winter collection. The Procon-SP gives tips for the consumer to enjoy good business opportunities, without losing sight of the budget.
The first step before you go shopping, is to check the deals offered by merchants. This can be done through brochures, booklets, among other promotions. Thus, you can define in advance the items that need to acquire.
Know that: Article 35 of the Code of Consumer Protection determines that the entire range of products requires that the supplier ran to meet it.
So if any company to deny what he promised, you can complain, if holding the advertising material.
In the case of items sold with small defects (stains clothes, descosturadas), consumers should demand that the store put on the invoice, receipt or request the problems presented, detailing them.
The Consumer Protection Code does not require suppliers to exchange the product because of color, size or taste. In these cases, the store will only have to change if the merchandise has promised in writing, stickers or invoice, for example.
The payment is always good to ask what are the options offered by the store and compare them with their possibilities. For amounts paid in cash, it is possible to bargain discounts. Also, you do not compromise your budget in the coming months.
Do not forget that the payments made by credit card and debit, the price should not be altered. By using postdated checks, be sure to send them payable to the store, noting the day on the back for the combined deposit. Require that information provided on the invoice.
Remember, even the shopping promotions generate costs. So do not be fooled by the impulse of wanting to enjoy all the "must-deal" priced "unbeatable" what you see ahead. Buy only what is necessary and if need be.
