Evaluating quality:
Don't get scammed:
Protecting yourself:
Make sure you see pictures of all angles of the items you are purchasing and that you will actually receive the same item photographed Back
Many sites show only the catalogue pictures from the websites of the designer. Keep in mind if they are unwilling to provide you of photos of all angles of the item they sell then they have something to hide. A smart consumer knows what he/she is buying before he/she buys.
Also be aware of the bait and switch scam. Many companies have nice looking photos but when you actually receive the goods, they are completely different than what was represented to you on their website. One way to help avoid being scammed is to order from a site which has a satisfaction guarantee.

Make sure the materials used in the handbag are identical to the materials in the real designer handbag. Back
Most online sites selling handbags advertise that they have top AAA or 7Star quality handbags. Our advice; don't get caught up in labels. Ask about the materials used to make the bags. Real 7Star quality is made with the exact same materials as the real thing. The truth is that there are many different grades of handbags and if you go around the handbag markets in China you will see all of them: real leather, fake leather, pig leather, and oxidizing leather. The bag cost is assessed from 3 different aspects:
- Quality of leather
- Quality of hardware
- Quality of fabric and interior
Some online sites and people selling in the street use cheap materials, simply because they make more profit on them when they resell them. Make sure to inquire about the materials used and compare it to the original
Make sure that all the markings including serial numbers and designer stamps are in the right place Back
Besides using authentic materials, the number one priority in creating a top quality handbag is ensuring that all the accessories, stamps and logos, included in the purchase of an authentic bag are also included with the handbags. What's the point in buying a if doesn't look real? Anyone familiar with designer bags can spot a fake by looking at the markings and designer stamps. A handbag without a proper date code, authenticity stamp, designer tags and stamps is an incomplete product. Don't be fooled by a faulty bag because it looks good in the picture. Ensure that your will be coming with all the accessories, details and markings of the original
Make sure that all the stitching is strong and accurate Back
Stitching is very important to the construction aspect of a quality 7 star designer inspired handbag. Many cheap inferior handbags are poorly constructed. They use very light and weak materials. This is easy to distinguish from the high quality bags and you can spot a bad by the stitching of the bag if you know what to look for. Zoom in to the pictures on the site. Loose seams can destroy your handbag. If you're in doubt ask a tailor or give us a call
Check how long has the site been in business Back
It is important to know if a site is legitimate and not trying to rip you off. Try to read a little about it and to see other customer testimonials, check web forums, and do a DNS check to see when they started business (this can easily be checked at www.dnsstuff.com). A site that has been in business for a while will not only be able to meet your needs faster and more efficiently, they will have a track record of legitimate business that can be trusted. An illegitimate merchant can not stay in business for long
Does the site display real customer feedback? Back
Check for a testimonials page on the site. Without hearing from other customers of the merchant there's no way of telling what their track record is. If you're unsure of the validity of the displayed testimonials, test them. Give the company a call and inquire. They should be able to provide you with further information. Start with the testimonials page then do your own research. Ask around.
Buy only from sites with a full customer service guarantee Back
You want to know about the guarantee they have, do they offer replacement if a package is lost? Do they offer a guarantee if the package is seized in customs? What is the return policy? The importance of this can not be stressed enough when dealing with internet vendors. Look at the guarantees page before buying, and when you speak to them verify the information.
Buy only from sites with reliable customer service Back
Send them an email first and see the response time, if they take too long to reply to a simple question how long will it take them to reply when you have a real problem? Check what ways client support is available to you. Do they reply to emails? Do they have live chat support? Are they available by telephone?.
Make sure the site is using a secure socket layer Back
Online fraud has become a real hassle for merchants and customers, make sure the page where you enter your credit card information is secure and looks authentic, if it looks infantile, like a page a 5 year old kid made DON'T DO IT. Check what billing and security service they use. Online credit card purchases can be extremely safe, but only under a secure socket layer.
Buy only from sites which offer reliable shipping and tracking Back
Make sure the company you are buying from offers online tracking, this will help you to see the progress of your package all the way from the shipper to your door, if a company doesn?t offer such service don?t buy from them. You have no way of know if they actually shipped your package. They can put you off and put you off until it is to late for you to do anything. Furthermore, if there is a problem, without online tracking, neither you nor the company has any way of finding where the problem is.
