Why You Don't End Up In A Good Hot Deal?

We all love bargains. We browse various websites for the cheapest of the cheapest deals. Savvy shoppers try their search for websites which offers them hot deals. I assure hot deals offers are a true win for most of us. But, here is my question: Whether hot deals are really a money saver for online shoppers? or, do you get the full benefit of hot deals?

As a savvy shopper, we find many opportunities to get all updates of deals that are being offered. Some websites offer only feature deals. While some others offer both feature and daily deals. I am the type who find deals that may not be found elsewhere. Even I found sites that allow me to post my own deals if I have got any.

From my personal shopping experience, I found TIME is a crucial factor any best, new, current hot-deals. I've heard that many of my friends missed out very nice deals in the past. So, I insist all online shoppers first to become aware of any new deal when listed by your frequent shopping sites. Most sites have an alert system via e-mail. Else you set-up with Google calendar. But my advice is you rather make a personal visit to your site everyday to make use of all deals and have your favourite products.

Another strategy I do is, I pre-plan my purchase whenever my site posts any up-coming deals and sales. This I consider my best chance to grab best deals. We all know that discounted stuffs will soon be out-of-stock. Right?

Previously, I missed out many hot deals in site Dell. I didn't have the habit of checking their site in morning. Once, I visited BestBuy for deals. I picked up an item, but to my surprise item cannot be added to shopping cart. Here, I found a deal, visited timely, then what is the limitation?
The site is a heavily competitive one. So, whenever a deal is posted shoppers are crowded and fiercely competing. Hence my operation failed!!

Some retailers offer in-store stock options. Therefore, pre-check your vendor's order phone number or see other available contact options.

I was cheated sometimes with imaginative deals on useless sites. Just to attract our attention, they are doing it. When I checked with my friends, deal was not found. 

Once I end up not getting my "deal" as they have reported wrongly its price. So, they cancelled my order. Likewise, hot deals become troublesome to me.

I am writing this because, if ever you met a case like me, please change your site. I didn't want just to make a commission alone. As I am a thrifty shopper with expensive tastes and with past experiences I like to share everything with you. Thus, you can avoid all ill-experiences. This is my ultimate goal of my blog.

I brag about Tripleclicks because I am a shopper first, and later I found home business offer is as enticing as shopping. A profiteering business via my shopping. With my shopping  I gain more credits and points and I redeem it for my other products. I am speaking my mind to you. Either you are with Tripleclicks or not? but Tripleclicks is growing amazingly. Proof? Check how many products, categories, retailers, members. But do not neglect my experiences


               
                    

             

In Tripleclicks, everything from current or forth-coming auctions, hot deals, daily and feature deals, close-outs, to newly added products hourly are disclosed in home page. I recommend their e-mail newsletter is a great source to find current hot deals from TC's 4,330 retailers of 203 countries.




                  

                
                    
As there are more retailers in Tripleclicks, wait for best deals to grab. I usually grab latest item and I never wait for sale or discount. In 2 years of my experience in Tripleclicks, I watched many items discounted more than once during a 2-3 month period.

Never do price comparison as I already told you. Prices are subject to inaccuracy, hidden costs, out-of-date and more unforeseen conditions.

I found electronic gadgets like digital cameras, cell phones, computers are far less than retail price. They are under refurbished/used items category. They are of huge demand and growing popular. Initially, I thought they're not worth but proven otherwise when I grabbed a deal of Apple ipad mini once. Really a great, and an awesome deal I would have missed my lifetime.

Regarding refurbished items, be cautious when you buy early version products. Ignoring gives a real headache for you. First, check for warranty; sometimes I got confused about price. There is only a marginal difference between refurbished and new versions. Hence, when you go in for older versions, then you may not end up a good deal!

Older cameras, music CD's always can't be found in new condition. So, for a savvy shopper like me, even marginal difference is a huge savings plus a great deal.

To find out any used deal is a good deal:

  • look for any defect
  • price comparison with latest/new versions
  • warranty/ return policy.
All these amounts to greater savings of your money and time.

Until now, customer support in Tripleclicks is extraordinary than any other site I visited. The ease of site navigation and advanced search query option is a wonder tool that makes me happy. Whenever I want a product for mentioned price, or by product description, by retailers, by member reward points, by shipping or by product condition simply the click of the button does all we want.

Every time I buy a product, instantly I receive a mail about all information and I have to give confirmation that the product I bought was received in good condition and I am satisfied. Whenever I have doubts they are ready to clarify pleasingly and in good manner always. I really love the way they handle customers. Totally a different approach and an experience I never had with any other site. 

I cannot able to express much for "I am a lady of few words". If any other person who is so talkative feel the difference it makes after my suggestion to her, then, you would have better known from the first word of him/her.

Every retailers are subjected to rating and how many members they connect with to give special offers and deals, members can report abusing/erroring ECA's. A very transparent member-seller connect program. 

Are you the person indulging in "FREE" bargains? Wait! Just it is free, don't take a step into that otherwise, you will be trapped into debt, while companies rejoice in your profits. I have seen many of my friends have done the same mistakes in the past. Since I specialize in marketing management, I very well know the companies tricks and tactics to woo innocent customers. But a mere common sense of free offers can tell us a lot. Companies are far better than customers to use all their learned tricks and tactics to offer anything free.

Rather, hunt for wise deals; that is, in an affordable and a needed/useful products.This will save your money. A strict "no" to impulsive buying habits. 

Ask a question to yourself? Is there anything in this world you can possess for free? If so, what about the offer and offerer? He is doing Business. He is not here for charity or likes. His goal is to attain profit. If he gives for free or at dirty cheap prices, how he can run his business? At least, he must take the seed money or his capital, if not profit.

Beware! free stuffs definitely has hidden charges. One of their strategy to attain profit is hiking shipping costs astronomically. I met with one such incident when I am a newbie shopper to online. I chanced upon free software products from a site, and I got really 3 free CD's. My amusement turned to frustration soon after my payment of shipping costs. I paid more than $15 for their advertised "free" offer. When I calculated, I'm a loser, as the product's real value is less than the amount I paid for shipping alone.

At e-bay too, they advertise for $1, so we go craze to buy it anyhow if we really want or not. Do you know shipping/handling costs? Imagine, 300% more than the actual item price. I got this information from one of my colleague.

Hence in Tripleclicks, I usually choose my own country's stores(they have got approximately 400) or go for free shipping retailers. Just select your country from option, you get a list of stores immediately.

I love the buy your goods locally via the localpay program in Tripleclicks. I still hesitate to pay by credit card. Now, LocalPay Basic is available in tripleclicks and I use it more often for payments. This direct, local payment is another reason I stick with TC. If you don't have credit card/paypal account, TC gives this option for your easy shopping experience. At checkout, You can see this option. Just tick it. Done.

You can see Directory or you will be alerted by the retailer to pay them directly, or LocalPay license will be shown in product details page.

All Tripleclicks (TC) products and services can be purchased from your local store agents via the LocalPay program. Imagine how great it would be if you can pay by cash locally for items on TC. You will be rewarded with member reward points for each purchase, like when you pay by credit card or paypal. Pay your localpay agent in cash and then redeem your T-currency on Tripleclicks. Make sure if your local agents have got T-currency else you buy from other agents. With this payment option I now totally eliminated shipping costs. If arises occasionally, still the charge is lower.
