How to Tell If a Branded Item Is Real or Fake

Posted by Farah Naz on

Nobody likes buying fake items. There's almost no market left where counterfeit isn’t present, and consumers are baited into purchasing poor-quality items that leave them disappointed. Counterfeit luxury items, in particular, have potentially dangerous materials and safety issues.

If you're looking to buy women’s dresses, there are a few things that you need to know about differentiating a real object from a fake.

Especially online, it's important to keep these things in mind. Let's discuss.

 

1.    The Quality

Fake goods are made from cheaper and poor-quality materials, including low-quality glass, leather, old electronic components, or inferior cloth. The items don't feel authentic because they likely aren't. If you’re looking to buy party dresses for women at a reseller, ask them about their quality assurance processes.

Reputable resellers have a full-fledged inspection and authentication system with technicians that can review the quality of items.

 

2.    Pricing

While shopping online or through mobile apps, prices can be the very first indicator of a fake. However, this isn't always the case. But generally, fakes are cheaper than the original items, and have unusually low prices. For reference, check the advertised price and compare it with the recommended retail price of the brand.

Remember, not all bargains are great as you could end up with a poor-quality fake item.

 

3.    Who's Selling the Item?

Various brands list their approved retailers on their website and packaging. When shopping online, if you're having doubts about the seller, ask them about their distributor and retailer information.

 

4.    Mode of Payment

If you're going to buy evening dresses for women online, look for data or credit information areas as they could be fraudulent.When purchasing anything online, ensure that the payments are submitted through an https:// secure link.

Online retailers that sell authentic items tend to request credit card details for purchases. Be cautious if a retailer has asked you to make a payment through a bank transfer. They are most likely selling you the fake thing.

 

5.    Product Packaging

When inspecting the packaging for an item, there's one way to determine whether the product is fake or real: the quality of the packaging. High-quality branded items use premium materials in their packaging, so if you've received a suspiciously packaged product, it's a warning sign.

Moreover, beware of packaging goods that have expired dates, lack warranty information, or are missing safety seals. Flawed logos, spelling errors, and trademarks are other red flags you can look for on an item's packaging.

You must do your research when buying anything in general. You can also research the marketplace for fake items. Always look for weight, typeface, engraving, and material for the product.  Familiarize yourself with the regulated prices of the original item for the brand, as that can help prevent you from purchasing fake items.
