This is the biggest deterrent to buying online. You don’t get to hold the product, so you aren’t assured that what you see is what you’ll get. And that’s a fair concern, wrong products have been shipped in the past, and in some cases, some buyers have got junk. But at least with the big retailers like Amazon and Flipkart, such matters are resolved relatively easily. They offer money-back guarantees on most products within the first few days, including a doorstep pickup; and for major disputes, there are agencies set up to inspect the product delivered to you.

That said, we would strongly advise sticking to these reputed sellers and not spending money at smaller online retailers. Yes, they might be safe, but it’s a bigger risk.
