Smart shopping guide
- Authenticity: for branded goods ask for an invoice and product ID, and check the packaging.
- Warranty: for phones and electrical goods ask for the warranty company's name and get the warranty card.
- Invoice: get an invoice stating the product and the seller; it helps with returns and warranty.
- Bargaining: common in a traditional bazaar, but polite and after seeing a few shops; some shops keep fixed prices.
- Busy hours: evenings and holidays are busier. Mornings or midweek days are calmer; ask opening hours before you go.
- Carrying goods: plan how to carry heavy purchases; you can ask the seller to ship them for you.
- Traveller's goods: taking goods out of the free zone has an exemption limit and the rules change. Ask an official authority (customs) before buying.
