Before you join a buying club or agree to a promotion consider the following tips:
~· Research the company online first by checking with BCA for complaints and reviews. Keep in mind that just because you don't find complaints it doesn't mean the plan doesn't have problems.
· Read all terms conditions and policies before you agree so you are aware of your obligations before you join. If you aren't sure exactly what you're agreeing to don't sign up.
~· Really think about the offer and consider if it is the bargain or deal the offer claims to be. Count the costs including how much you will have to pay for future shipments the quality of the product or service as well as shipping and handling fees.
~· Watch out for offers that already have pre-checked boxes and free trials; they may not be free after all. Sometimes dishonest companies use free trials to enroll you in a buying club. When you sign up online you may see a box already checked that gives the company the okay to continue the offer beyond the free trial or to sign you up to buy more products unless you un-check it.
~If you do agree to join keep copies of documents. Keep track of when you placed your order and mark your calendar with important dates so you are mindful or cancellation periods offer time frames etc. Monitor your statements to identify unauthorized or incorrect charges. If you experience problems file a complaint with BCA.
