You have the right to respond to any review submitted for your listing. If we realize that there is a particular user who has intentionally written a review in order to harm you, it will be permanently deleted from the site as well as all of his/her reviews.
Are you looking for local products?
What is golocal.pro?
The site golocal.pro is an attempt to register those who produce local products that can be delivered directly from the producer to the customers without middlemen.
We give the opportunity to those who are looking for local products, to find what they are looking for and buy it directly from the producer.
We do not act as merchants nor receive any commission. Your transactions with producers are your own affair and responsibility.
Registered users can suggest a local producer, write reviews, bookmark producers and if they choose to opt-in our news-letter, they will receive special offers from time to time by producers who want to promote their products.
Are transactions done through your page?
No, we do not act as merchants and we can not guarantee for all the producers registered on our site.
We recommend that you are careful about your transactions and not pay for anything unless you are sure that you will receive the products you ordered safely.
According to the terms of use of our website, we bear no responsibility in case you are a victim of fraud.
Can I buy products from different producers at the same time?
No. As mentioned above, we do not operate as a commercial enterprise, so there is no single product shipment from different producers, possibly located in different geographical locations.
Go Local aims to promote the special characteristics of local products, giving consumers the opportunity to get in touch with the producer without middlemen. Producers, on the other hand, have the option, if they wish, to sell their product at a better price than you would find in a supermarket. Any management on our behalf would increase the cost, because we would have to collect the products of your order before shipment (double transport fees) and pay employees for order management, packaging and shipment.
The way we chose to display and market the products may not have the convenience of a supermarket (real or online) but gives to the consumers the opportunity to get in touch with the producers and appreciate their distinct products. Some of them are are produced in very limited amounts but they bear exceptional characteristics. These products will never reach the supermarket shelves.
Can I trust producers who are listed?
Before listing a producer, GoLocal will arrange to contact him/her to check if:
- Retail and distant selling is available.
- Proper packaging, freshness and good condition are guaranteed.
- Payments are accepted on delivery, via bank transfer, Paypal or Viva Wallet.
Since a client is registering in golocal.pro, we carefully monitor customer reviews and comments. If it turns out that a producer or a customer has violated the terms and conitions of our web page, he/she is automatically deleted from our site.
As you realize, we do not personally know every producer that is listed and we are not able to guarantee for their credibility. Please be careful with your transactions and report immediately any problem you may encounter.
The product I received is not of good quality. What can I do;
First of all, we want to emphasize the fact that it is good to check the reviews of other users of the website and to contact the producer before purchasing, in order to learn more about his/her product.
If the producer is in a geographical area near you, you can ask him / her and go to the point of sale and configure your opinion “firsthand”.
In any case, whether your experience was positive or negative, it is good to share your opinion with other users of our website by writing a review. This way, you can help all users looking for quality local products to decide more easily and you can also support the effort of producers who are consistent with the good quality of their products.
