Useful shopping tips
The first thing to do when you come to this market for shopping is to check if the phone’s batteries are charged. It is so easy to get lost in such a rushing stream of people, left without a means of communication. It is best to agree in advance with your companion in the event of force majeure to meet near any landmark.
Buyers who come by bus, first of all, need to remember or even better to write down the name of the parking lot, where they left, where the driver is waiting for them, so as not to be late for departure.
If it suddenly so happens that you still cannot get out of the market or find your companion, in this case there is a radio in the market where they will announce the loss and will certainly help.
Customer reviews and what you need to know when shopping

The Khmelnitsky market is simply a huge place, so if you liked a product, you need to buy it right away, since then you probably will not be able to find this thing. Only in vain will time be spent searching.
If suddenly the thing for some reason did not fit, then you can complete the return process, but only if the product has not lost its original appearance.

Advantages and disadvantages of the market
Khmelnitsky Market has its own website with all the necessary information. “ProBazar” (reviews of 2015 confirm this) is exactly the place where all the wishes and comments of customers for the past period are gathered, by which it can be judged that people are mostly satisfied with the bazaar and the things that are sold on it. Therefore, in 2016 you can safely go there for shopping for yourself and your family.
One of the advantages of the market is its price segment, designed for the average buyer, as well as the fact that goods from manufacturers of many countries are collected in one place. The leading position in the assortment, of course, is China, but many Ukrainian things are even better in quality than their Chinese counterparts.
Another advantage of the market can be considered that all products are collected here, from simple jewelry to large household appliances. You can get acquainted with the entire range of goods on a special site.
Lately, cases of fraud and theft have become a big disadvantage of the bazaar. Theft of wallets and money has become more frequent, so it would be better not to put them in a bag, but to hold it tightly in your hands.
Another small minus of the market is that on its territory there are constantly large crowds of people creating a real flea market.
Before visiting the bazaar, it is better to know in advance when it is open.
