Wedding planning can be expensive, and many brides try to save money by purchasing their wedding dresses online. While this can certainly be a good way to get a nice dress for a lower cost, there are some websites out there that may try to pull a fast one on blushing brides, according to Arizona's ABC 15.
One expert told the news source that many websites will post
pictures of wedding dresses, but when the gown arrives in the mail, it is made of a different material or exhibits shoddy workmanship. Often, these websites are based in another country.
"Worst cases might involve people having their credit card information, their identities stolen by these sites based in other countries," Jeremy Gin, co-founder of SiteJabber.com, told the news source. SiteJabber helps keep track of bad websites for consumers.
