Online Fruit Complaints Rise as Gift Sets Lack Sugar and Size Details

Complaints are increasing from shoppers who bought fruit gift sets online and found bruised or even moldy produce. The consumer agency reviewed 240 fruit gift set products sold through online shopping malls and found that many listings made it difficult for buyers to confirm fruit size, sweetness and quality standards. Even among sets with the same weight, prices differed by as much as four times. Because online buyers cannot inspect the actual fruit before purchase, insufficient product information can lead to consumer harm and disputes. Buyers are advised to check sweetness, size, contents, quality standards and exchange or refund terms before ordering. Source: mk.co.kr
