Buy from stores in Paraguay that are trustworthy

It seems like a very obvious tip, but it is the most important, as you must make your shopping in Paraguay in well-known, reliable and reputable stores, and of course, you should pay attention to the name of the stores, as some have very similar names, such as ''Elegance'' and ''Elegance'', it is very easy to get confused. And you can even search for products on the ComprasNoParaguai website, there you will find prices, stores and much more…

But here are also some tips on super reliable stores in Paraguay that you need to know when shopping in Paraguay:

  • Shopping China
  • Monalisa Shopping
  • La Petisquera
  • CellShop
  • Nisei House
  • Elegance Company
  • Mega Electronics

Avoid shopping on the street

You know that story about "what's cheap is expensive"? So, you should be wary of extremely low prices. There are several stories of people who bought products on the street and they were counterfeit or didn't work, or were just the ''shell'' of the product. Unless they are simpler products, such as blankets, socks and others.

Always examine product packaging

People who make replicas are usually so focused on making the product as similar as possible, that they end up forgetting to imitate the details on the packaging, determining whether the product is a replica or not. So, don't forget to carefully observe whether the product is a replica or not.

A great tip is also to do some research into the details of the original packaging of the products, and even look for the intellectual rights of the products, such as:

  • Symbol © = from English Copyright;
  • Symbol ™ = from English Trademark;
  • Symbol® = Registered Trademark;

Is the price of the product much lower than normal?

It's like the saying goes ''when the alms are little, the saint is suspicious'', so always be suspicious and stay cautious when the product is priced well below. Paraguay is a technological and shopping paradise, and people are so amazed by the wide variety of products when shopping in Paraguay that they end up not even suspecting it at the time, they just realize it when they arrive at the hotel, or even at home.

Don't forget to test the products!!!

In the best stores in Paraguay, you can find a specific section to test your product before leaving the store and check that everything is in order. If you are going to buy from an electronics store that does not offer this service, then run away!!! Several stores offer a testing area because most of their buyers are residents of the triple border or tourists.

And of course after making your shopping in Paraguay, you will need a comfortable hotel, with a great location and value for money, so how about choosing the Tarobá Hotel?
