Just the past 6 18 electric business war has become a criticism of the marketing farce, "false fall" type of electric dealer price war so many enthusiasts online shopping disappointed, the fun, pick up cheap desire can not be met, let alone in the "Old Liu" game in the Shine. Let them make their own trouble, I "Hai Amoy" Go!
As the name suggests, "Sea Amoy" is "overseas network to buy Amoy goods." Thanks to the borderless Internet, Chinese people can also sit at home and visit overseas electric dealers ' websites and order shopping. The developed U.S. is often the "sea Amoy" hot, from the United States online shopping is also known as the "Beauty Amoy"; The recent low yen exchange rate, also let "day Amoy" sharp warming. Whether it is "beauty Amoy" or "Day Amoy", "Amoy" The biggest temptation is to compare the huge price difference in the domestic market. Thanks to the "Sea Amoy" transit Company's development and maturity, as well as credit card-oriented payment channel popularization, "sea Amoy" has gradually become the net to buy people online "Amoy" high-end goods hot channel.
Six steps to get the "sea Amoy"
The principle of "sea Amoy" is actually very simple: with the domestic online shopping mall, compared to a single shopping in the overseas web site to buy more than one link, transshipment--general overseas online shopping mall distribution capacity only covers its country, it is difficult to provide delivery service in China, then, Chinese consumers need in the transshipment company's help, "Transshipment" of goods purchased from overseas to China. In short, the "sea Amoy" can be broken down into the following six steps.
The first step: register to want to carry out the "sea Amoy" overseas Electric Dealer website account. such as the U.S. Amazon is a hot "beauty Amoy" one of the goals, Japan's Amazon is also "Day Amoy" main battlefield. It is noteworthy that the Amazon and other large electric network, different countries have to register their own accounts, can not be general. At the same time, we also need to assess whether these electronic business sites provide direct mail services in China. In the case of Amazon, the United States, some of the goods are to provide global distribution services, but the freight plus the total cost after the advance tariff is higher, we need to measure whether the Amazon Direct mail to China, or the use of the power of transshipment companies to "Amoy" home.
The second step: Select the local reputable Transit company website, registered account number, fill in their own domestic delivery address and other information. Transit Company's role is a collection, delivery intermediary service providers, they set up in the sea Amoy Destination Transit warehouse, to help the sea Amoy users to receive shopping parcels, and will be transported back home. "Amoy" in the provision of trans-shipment services in the United States are mostly local Chinese-run small logistics companies, and "Day Amoy" in the commonly used transshipment companies are larger company, service level than the former more reliable.
Step three: Obtain the address of the overseas transshipment warehouse provided by the forwarding company's website. The warehouse address is very important, in the overseas website Order shopping, fills in the shipping address is the transshipment company's warehouse address. Take "Beauty Amoy" as an example, the strength of transshipment companies in the United States generally set up warehouses, based on the U.S. local excise tax policy, sent to the duty-free state warehouse orders are exempt from excise tax, these warehouses are often more popular.
The fourth step: in the overseas website Order shopping, the settlement time will the overseas transshipment warehouse address and so on fills in the shipping address column. In the payment chain, the most commonly used payment channels for overseas online purchases are credit card payments, and Visa and other international credit card organizations can basically pay for the success of the card, such as the United States, such as ebay, a small number of large sites also support the standard China UnionPay credit card. It is worth noting, however, that some of the smaller overseas sites will be dealt with by "chopping" orders for the use of non-national credit cards – such as the denim brand Levis's US website, which does not accept orders from Chinese mainland credit cards for security reasons. Credit card channels do not go through, then switch to a third-party payment platform Palpay Bar. In addition, the domestic Third-party payment platform Alipay and Tenpay also received some support from overseas websites.
Fifth step: Re-login forwarding company website, the shopping transaction into the "Inbound forecast", convenient in foreign transshipment warehouse to help you collect.
Sixth step: Transshipment company will transfer the product back to the domestic, most transshipment companies will provide assistance to customs clearance services. In addition, depending on the type of commodity, the customs will have different standards of taxation, but the basic principle is that the overall value of the goods is lower than the probability of being taxed, and that large quantities of the same goods will be considered as commercial activities with higher tax payments. For example, "sea Amoy" one of the popular cosmetics category of goods tax rate is 50%, but also the total amount of tax in 50 yuan below is exempt.
"Sea Amoy" is Amoy Boutique
With the domestic electricity business site "morning orders, afternoon delivery" distribution speed, compared to "sea Amoy" often takes a week to two weeks, in the transit Company "slow action" to wait more than a two-month period. Therefore, not all goods are worth the "sea Amoy"-only boutique is the "sea Amoy" hot object. The following categories of commodities are the main force of the "Sea Amoy".
1. The more high-end products, the greater the price difference at home and abroad-Japan Amazon sold the Magic Sound Beatsby dr.dre STUDIO Black Headset is a lot of users of the trendy high-end fashion products, a period ago ushered in a new low price, only need 9500 yen or so (about 580 yuan, Another transfer fee of 160 yuan or so, cheaper than the domestic price of more than 1000 yuan.
2. Lighter weight products, low freight and easy to have a big price difference-small, lightweight products in the sea Amoy tend to have more advantages, such as watch class. Like Casio Casio G-shockgw-5600j-1 's watch on the Amazon in the United States to sell 75 U.S. dollars, only 500 yuan in his early. Can win the price of domestic purchasing. 3. Early buy early enjoy-for example, Apple this year's latest lightweight notebook MacBook Air, "Amoy" plus tariffs and transshipment fees, the total price of about 8,700 yuan, and so on a few weeks can be bought. National line version of 9688 Yuan, still only pre-sale, when you can buy do not know. So beauty is not only cheap, but also early to buy early enjoy.
4. Can buy the most trendy fun products-such as irobot intelligent automatic sweeping robot, "sea Amoy" after the general price of the total under 2000 yuan, but until recently there are similar products, the price of the original products in three thousand or four thousand yuan, And to the thousand-yuan low price of the domestic brand products in the intelligent automatic sweeping treatment is not enough original authentic do well. For example, the use of fishing sonar display system, can show the nearby water in what position, fish is more and so on, these novelty and fun products are not in the domestic.
