2023-11-17 08:12:00

Even if the official date of Black Friday is set this year for November 24, promotions and shock discounts are already crowding into windows and websites. There are discounts of up to -70%, enough to attract customers eager for good deals.

But watch out for scams. Some unscrupulous merchants do not hesitate to inflate prices to cross them out on Back Friday. There is also the quality of the products which is not the same during this period of “good” business.

A comparator available

Testachats compared 20,000 promotions and only 28% of the offers were real deals. The consumer organization calls for vigilance. An offer comparison is available on the website test-achats.be

Testachats reminds that for online purchases, there is a 30-day right of withdrawal. No recourse in stores except commercial gesture from the seller. In the event of a false promotion, the customer can always file a complaint with the economic inspectorate.

So beware of scams. Fake promotions are everywhere in stores and on the internet during Black Friday. Some unscrupulous traders do not hesitate to inflate prices to subsequently cross them out. There is also the quality of the products which is not the same during this period of “good” business.

Vigilance is required

“There may be very interesting opportunities, but it is not necessarily a good deal. We must remain vigilant. This would not be the first time that false promotions have been detected during this period at Test-Achats. This would not be the case. “It’s never a good deal when you buy a product, even at -70%, when it’s a poor quality product. A good deal is when there’s an attractive price with superior quality.” indicates Julie Frère, the spokesperson for Testachats.

And to add: “We noticed, two years ago, that there were less than 30% of Black Friday offers that were really interesting, when we looked at the two criteria: price and quality. This means that there There are other times of the year that are best for shopping. There are unpleasant surprises both in physical stores and online. The only difference is that online, you have a right of withdrawal . In a store, it would have to accept a refund on a commercial basis.”
