Watch out for sneaky tricks

Research customer reviews
It’s always a good idea to read reviews before you buy a product, but not all are trustworthy.
Returning goods
The regulations give you a 14-day window to return a non-faulty product, starting from the day you receive your goods. Many retailers will give you longer than this, but it's always best to check before you buy.
