The Consumer Rights Protection Centre (PTAC) and the European Consumer Centre in Latvia (ECC Latvia) urge residents to be cautious and not to make purchases on the websites maijasdargumi.com, martalinde.com, and madonastils.com, PTAC reported. After assessing the information and complaints received, it has been established that these websites offer consumers goods produced in China, while creating a misleading impression that these are products of Latvian origin. Identified risks: - Consumers are misled about the origin, quality, and cost of the goods; - Returns must be made to China; - Delivery times may be longer than promised, and orders may be delivered in parts; - Dispute resolution may be complicated, as the seller effectively operates outside Latvia/the European Union. If a purchase has already been made: - Contact the seller in writing (via email), clearly stating your request — cancellation of the order, refund, or return of the goods; - Keep all evidence related to the purchase: order confirmation, payment documents, correspondence, delivery information, packaging labels, as well as screenshots from the website; - If the product does not match the description or misleading information was provided, document the discrepancies (photos/videos); - Consider contacting your bank to dispute the payment if the payment was made by credit card; - If necessary, contact PTAC, attaching evidence and correspondence. PTAC also reminded that before making online purchases, one should verify the seller's identity — check the company name, country of registration, address, and registration number; carefully review the delivery and return conditions, especially paying attention to where the warehouse is located, to which address the goods need to be returned, and who pays for the shipping; keep screenshots of the offer — product description, price, images, and claims of origin (“Made in Latvia”); choose payment methods with buyer protection, such as credit cards.
