If you like being in your garden and want a set of garden furniture in order to take advantage of the lovely summer weather, it can be rather depressing when you go out to look at the prices of garden furniture, particularly if you are on a budget. And who is not on a budget these days? However, there is a way to buy cheap garden furniture and still end up with something that you can be proud of.
I would like you to be very careful about lies. I have just finished reading an article offering an 'authentic teak (garden furniture) set' that normally sells for about $4,500 for $29.97! Anybody who believes this sort of rubbish is a sad case indeed. Later on in the article, they admit that the wood is not teak, but is 'constructed of hardwoods equivalent to teak'.
In fact, I would not believe that either. The writer has already told one lie and so is of course unscrupulous. If ever you find a hole in someone's advertising you ought to look elsewhere, especially on the Internet and especially if the shop is not in your town so that you cannot go and visit it.
Regrettably, there are lots of liars on the Internet and they are giving the honest merchants a bad reputation. Many of them live in poor countries that have little or no Internet or business regulation. Places like Eastern Europe, China, Africa, South America and South-Eastern Asia.
If the level of English in the advertisement is poor, go elsewhere. It is a shame for the honest person who does not speak English well, but safer for you. Another check would be to send the proprietor an email.
If they do not reply, give them a wide birth. If they do respond, check their Internet Provider's (IP) address. The IP address is a group of four numbers and the first group denotes the country of origin of the email.
Be very careful of offers that seem to be too good to be true. Rich people purchase teak patio furniture at $4,500. Why do they pay that much? Because the best teak furniture costs that much. How can rich people afford that much? Because they have good jobs. How do they get good jobs? Because they are not stupid. If you could buy genuine teak furniture for $29.97, they would have it as well.
So, if you can only afford to get cheap garden furniture, buy the best quality plastic furniture that you can find and do not get sucked in by these conmen that are trying to trick you that you can have a top of the market hardwood garden furniture set for $30. You cannot; and never will be able to; and probably never have been able to either.
