What should I confirm before choosing souvenirs, tailoring and local shopping?

For souvenirs and tailoring, compare quality, delivery dates and alteration terms. Avoid counterfeit goods and do not let a tight holiday schedule force a rushed purchase. Confirm current opening days, exact location, reservation requirements and how payment works. For food, explain allergies and dietary rules clearly; for shopping, check authenticity, warranties, alterations and delivery dates. Freshness note: Prices, opening hours, schedules, addresses and provider details can change. Confirm the current information directly before travelling or paying.
