Going online on midnight
The basic rule is that the goods will go to those who are faster in their transactions. One of the ways to get around this would be to go online at midnight as Harbolnas is scheduled to start at 12 a.m. Bayu noted, “The goods could be already out of stock by 7 a.m.”
Pay immediately
Bayu advised customers to immediately pay for the goods as soon as they have checked-out. He also noted that internet banking and credit cards would allow consumer to conduct faster transactions.
“For those who are paying via ATM, it is advised to make the transactions by midnight so that they could be paid straightaway in the morning,” Bayu said. (mas/kes)
