Black Friday Shoppers Beware!

Ensure your Black Friday shopping is merry and legally trouble-free.

2️⃣ Return Policy Awareness : Before swiping that card, understand the return policies. A clear return process can save you from post-purchase headaches.

3️⃣ Online Shopping Safety : Cyber Monday is around the corner. Protect yourself from cyber threats – shop only on secure websites and double-check payment details.

4️⃣ Price Match Policies : Some stores offer price matching. Keep an eye out for price drops, and don't hesitate to ask for a match if you find a better deal elsewhere.

5️⃣ Hidden Fees Watch : Read the fine print! Unexpected fees can turn a great deal into a financial pitfall. Know what you're paying for before making a purchase.

6️⃣ Warranty Wisdom : Big-ticket items may come with warranties. Understand the terms and conditions to ensure you're covered in case of unexpected issues.

7️⃣ Gift Card Guidelines : Gifting a shopping card? Be aware of any expiration dates or fees attached. Knowledge is the key to a stress-free shopping experience.
