Do you think you are buying Polish tomatoes, but in reality they come from another country? Incorrect labelling of the country of origin is misleading and violates your rights as a consumer. The President of UOKiK ordered extensive inspections by the Trade Inspection Authority and issued decisions imposing fines amounting to millions of zlotys. Effects? The scale of irregularities in shops is now negligible, and consumers now have reliable information about the country of origin of products.

We are bombarded with MEGA deals, SUPER prices, HYPER sales. It is now easier than ever to make an impulsive purchase decision in a matter of seconds. What can you miss? Common sense and the real lowest price, the trap of deferred payments, a quick click on a cleverly designed screen, or buying unwanted goods from Asia.

Sales mania is on. Our campaign titled “Check whether you can afford it!” is also on. Together with the campaign partners, we are warning consumers of the financial consequences of purchases with deferred payment.

Black Friday, Black Week, Cyber Monday… – the holiday season shopping frenzy is underway. We buy without even needing to have the funds, after all, we can pay later... Beware! “Buy Now Pay Later” is a loan! It can lead to excessive debt and affect your credit score.

The working group appointed by the President of UOKiK has been working on solutions aimed at mitigating the risk of fraudulent transactions. The group was composed of representatives of the Office of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority and banking experts, among others.

Since the beginning of this year, entrepreneurs who inform about price reduction for goods or services have been obligated to inform about the lowest price from 30 days before the reduction. This rule is specifically important in view of the incoming biggest sales festivals, that is, Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now consumers will indeed notice whether each promotion is a bargain.
