The anticipation of the winter sales to January 3 is a useless measure, which will not affect in any way the Italians on purchases for the end of season discounts. This was stated by Codacons, which provides official forecasts on sales in the period of discounts. “Families come the start of the end of season discounts with portfolios already emptied from the expenses for the Christmas holidays and year-end – says the president Carlo Rienzi – Anticipate a few days the balances will not affect the spending power of citizens, whose budget to devote to seasonal discounts is increasingly tight. ” According to data collected by Codacons, in fact, the trend of the next balances will once again negative, with sales will suffer an average reduction of 8% compared to the previous year, and an expense that will not exceed EUR 184 fee per family. At present – explains the association – only 35% of Italian families plan to do some shopping during th e sales, while many shops that already these days have started balances masked by sending messages and mails to consumers with customized promotions and discounts directly to customers when purchasing in the exercises. Finally, as every year Codacons spreads the Decalogue with 10 tips of gold to prevent disappointments during the sales and purchase them safely:
1) Always keep the receipt is not true that the leaders on sale can not be changed. The retailer is obliged to replace the defective item also states that if the leaders in balance can not be changed. If the change is not possible, for example, because the product is finished, you are entitled to a refund of the money (not a good). You have two months, not seven or eight days, to denounce the defect.
2) The sale should really be the end of the season: the goods offered for sale under “Balance” should be the surplus that the season is ending and stock funds. Stay away from those stores that had the half-empty shelves just before the amounts and then you are magically filled of various items. It is unlikely, if not impossible, that at the end of the season the shop is provided, for each type of product, of all sizes and colors.
3) Turn. In the days preceding the sales go to stores to look for what interests, marking the price; so you can verify the effectiveness of the discount practiced and go without fail, avoiding unnecessary queues. Never stop at the first store that offers discounts but to compare prices with those exposed in other years.
4) Tips for purchases. Try to have a clear idea on the costs to do before entering the store: so it is less influenced by the shopkeeper and you run less risk of returning home full of things, maybe even at a good price, but which have not had any need. Evaluate the goodness article looking at the label that describes the composition of the item of clothing (natural fibers such as cost more than synthetic). Pay a high price does not mean buying a quality product. Be wary of the brands are very similar to those known.
5) Be wary discounts of more than 50%, often hide their goods are not new, or old prices false (old inflates the price so as to increase the percentage of discount and entice more purchase). A merchant, except in Upper fashion, can not have, in fact, so high markups and should sell below cost.
6) Use preferably in trusted stores or buy goods of which you already know ‘the price or the quality’ in order to assess the convenience of freely and independently.
7) Shops and shop windows. Do not buy in stores that do not expose the card that indicates the old price, the new one and the percentage value of the discount applied. The price must also be stated in a clear and legible. Check that between the goods on sale there is not new at full price. The goods on sale must be clearly separated from the “new”. Be wary of the cases covered by posters that do not allow you to see the goods.
8) Proof of the leaders: there is no obligation. It is left to the discretionary ‘the shopkeeper. The advice is to be wary of the garments that can only be looked at.
9) Payments. In the shops that expose the adhesive Featured credit card or ATM, the dealer is required to accept these forms of payment for the balance, with no additional charges.
10) disappointments. If you think you have taken a rip contact the Codacons, or call the cops.
