The Saskatchewan Government is warning consumers about the risks during liquidation sales.
The province says the most common consumer complaints following liquidation sales usually fall under five categories; deceptive pricing, returns, warranty support, gift cards and non-delivery.
Some advice given is to price check similar items listed by other retailers; ask to check the contents of the box to make sure everything is there before you take it home; check warranties as they may expire when the business closes; use your gift cards immediately; and if you’re ordering something for delivery, pay with a credit card so that if the item isn’t delivered you may be able to get a refund.
If you have any questions you can contact the Consumer Protection Division at 1-877-880-5550 or at [email protected].
