Shopping is taking place every second. However, the prices of the same goods may differ from store to store. A name-brand dress may cost several hundred pounds at a boutique, but only half the price in a discount store or a big chain store. Moreover; the sellers may modify the price from time to time. Normally, the price is the highest before Christmas while the lowest just after Christmas or durin the summer sales.
In western countries, you can return the goods as long as you have the receipts. Companies have come up with various proposals about return policy. The so-called " No question asked" policy, which implies that the seller should not ask for the reasons of returning the goods, is a good example and an effective way to stimulate sales
