Consumer agency offers shoppers Christmas advice

THE National Consumer Agency yesterday launched its 12 top tips to ensure shoppers know their rights and buy wisely this Christmas.

The distribution of handy receipt holders is among the steps by the agency to encourage shoppers to keep their receipts so presents can be exchanged.

Tips for shoppers also include knowing your rights when returning a faulty good or shopping online, watching out for scams and added extras, and making sure you don’t put too much on your credit cards.
