BUFFALO — With the Niagara County Fair underway and the Erie County fair just around the corner, the Better Business Bureau suggests care in buying from out-of-town vendors and sellers.
The company says you can check bbb.org before heading out or m.bbb.org from any smartphone while at the fair and remember the following guidelines:
- Before buying, know the company's refund and exchange policy. Get the policy in writing, if possible.
- Know where the company is located. Obtain the company's physical location and telephone number, in case you need to return or exchange an item after the event.
- If at all possible, shop around first. Keep in mind, however, that the least expensive item may not always be the best value. If you are making a large purchase, don't be afraid to leave the fairgrounds to do some research.
- Don't be pressured to buy on the spot. After the demonstration or sales pitch, walk away from the sales person to give yourself some time to think about the purchase.
- Ask the vendor if a sale price will be honored after the fair or event. If so, you will not feel pressured to purchase the item "on the spot."
- Know the limits of the "cooling-off rule." It's important to note that the FTC’s "Cooling-off Rule," which allows people three days to cancel a purchase, does not apply to the following purchases at fairs: Purchases under $25, insurance, securities, or real estate, motor vehicles, or arts and crafts.
