Traps

Mistakes to avoid before you order with Vigorbuy

Most bad experiences come from a handful of avoidable slips. Here’s the prevention matrix — the mistake, why it hurts, and the fix.

Judging cost by the service fee

Why it hurts: International shipping usually dwarfs the ~2–4% fee.

Fix: Price the whole parcel with your address before you commit.

Skipping the QC window

Why it hurts: You lose the cheapest chance to catch a flaw.

Fix: Inspect QC photos within 12 hours; dispute or return before shipping.

Not consolidating

Why it hurts: Multiple small parcels waste weight and money.

Fix: Hold items and combine into one shipment.

Choosing tag size over CM

Why it hurts: Asian tag sizes rarely match Western ones.

Fix: Measure a garment you own and compare in centimetres.

Ignoring restricted items

Why it hurts: Perfume/batteries can be blocked on some lines/countries.

Fix: Confirm the item can travel on your chosen line first.

Expecting a guaranteed date

Why it hurts: Customs and season make delivery variable.

Fix: Plan buffer time; don’t order for a hard deadline.

Losing your records

Why it hurts: No records makes support and claims hard.

Fix: Keep order IDs, QC photos and tracking numbers.

Treating spreadsheet price as final

Why it hurts: Real price/stock is set at purchase.

Fix: Confirm on Vigorbuy before assuming a total.

One habit beats them all

Slow down at two moments: before you pay (confirm price and that the item can ship) and during QC (inspect before postage). Those two pauses prevent most regret.

If it already went wrong — how to recover

Problem	Your move
QC shows a defect	Raise it in the window; use the free re-check, dispute the result, or take the 72-hour return to wallet before shipping.
Wrong size ordered	Catch it at QC and return before postage — far cheaper than shipping and re-buying.
Item can’t ship to your country	Ask support about alternative lines; if none, it may need to stay or be resold.
Parcel damaged in transit	Keep photos and tracking; Vigorbuy advertises re-delivery or 80% compensation on international damage.
Shipping quote shocked you	Re-check consolidation and line choice; remove dead space before you commit.

The theme: almost every fix is cheaper before the parcel ships. That’s the moment to slow down.
