The primary drawback of purchasing goods from the Internet is that the quality of the products was left ambiguous until we received the package. There were numerous articles discussed about how some firms encourage customers to buy low-quality-low-price clothes by presenting photoshopped photos. These unrealistic images of the dress created an incentive for buyers to believe in what they saw and swipe their cards. Linking Words
As a result
, when the actual dress arrived, the majority of people were unsatisfied with the quality and rarely wore it in the future. Linking Words
