Tietoa kuluttajille

Epäiletkö kuluttajansuojan toimivuutta, jos teet hankintoja toisesta EU-maasta? Mistä voi tietää, mikä tarjolla olevista tuotteista on edullisin?

Entä jos haluat ostaa uuden tv-vastaanottimen internetin kautta naapurimaasta? Saapuuko se perille ehjänä ja sovittuun aikaan? Kattaako vakuutus mahdolliset vahingot? Saatko myyjältä hyvitystä, jos syntyy ongelmia?

Omassa kotimaassasi voit saada neuvoja kansallisilta viranomaisilta ja järjestöiltä. Nämä verkkosivut puolestaan tarjoavat yleiskatsauksen siihen, kuinka Euroopan komissio pyrkii takaamaan, että oikeuksiasi kunnioitetaan EU:n tasolla.
