Milk powder, cosmetics, luxury goods, where do you buy these three things? In the economic globalization and rapid development of E-commerce today, "Sea Amoy" more and more become the normal people shopping, simply said, is to buy things from abroad.
Hai the way there are two, one is in the overseas shopping site to buy goods, or by international express delivery is direct mail, or by forwarding companies to collect goods to send back to the country, and the other is to find someone in the foreign purchase, most of them are looking for business purchasing.
However, unscrupulous businesses are all there, Hai is no exception, even more "pit more depth."
Hai of high-grade goods or "acclimatized" part of the commodity source on the sale of leave
Hangzhou white-collar money Miss young fashion. She likes to Amoy cosmetics and buy them directly from foreign websites. Recently, she considered to buy refrigerators, toasters and other big-ticket items, if the foreign website does not, they are looking for someone to purchase.
However, the sea Amoy is after all from overseas shopping, each link may encounter "acclimatized" type of trouble.
For example, foreign foreign production standards are different, foreign market sales of small household electrical appliances and domestic sales of the implementation of the manufacturing standards are different, directly to the domestic to use.
Japan, the United States and other countries in the family voltage of 110 volts, while the Chinese household voltage of 220 volts. In this way, consumers buy small appliances have to buy additional transformers, trouble not to say, and not necessarily cost-effective; the Japanese toilet quality is good, but is according to the Japanese water quality design, if buys the domestic, in the water quality hard area may appear the scale to clog the outlet hole the phenomenon.
Advanced cargo process standards are small, some foreign goods from the source is fake. South Korean television earlier this year exposed a production of fake mask black workshop. Video footage shows workers sitting around packing a mask that has been produced, directly with hands, without wearing sanitary gloves. The mask is hot-won in mainland China, and the family workshop produces counterfeit goods.
South Korean Cosmetics marketing department head said, according to their understanding, there are many Koreans in the production of counterfeit cosmetics, worth about 57 million yuan. CCTV reported that when the relevant authorities in South Korea seized 158,000 counterfeit masks. The worry is that another 108,000 fake masks have been sent to the Chinese market through sea Amoy or purchasing.
Goods damaged or even dropped Baohai transport than domestic online shopping risk
Milk powder, diaper is a lot of mother sea Amoy hot goods. But, hard to calculate the exchange rate, find transshipment, bought is actually "defective goods", or even some of the transshipment company, how to feel?
That's what happened to Ms. Sun. "Got the pot of milk powder, I hastened to contact the German website, people say is the problem of transport, not willing to give me compensation, and then contact the German transit Company, the German express company and the Domestic Express Company, no one company is willing to compensate." ”
Ms. Sun told reporters that the transfer company staff said, from Germany will be the milk powder Express to China, each loading and unloading process may cause the damage to the mail, "they are only responsible for transshipment goods, not responsible for unpacking inspection, also can not give me compensation."
The director of the complaint Department of Zhejiang Province's Consumer Protection commission said that the buyer and the seller are not in an area. Moreover, the sea Amoy people should be transnational rights. It is understood that a lot of sea Amoy customers buy not gratified goods, choose to swallow.
Consumer activists advise Amoy consumers: as far as possible to choose a better reputation of the transit company, and received courier items, the first to Kaifeng inspection items, if the goods have been damaged, users have the right not to sign this express; now many foreign shopping websites have opened direct mail, but in the choice of perishable items, such as milk powder, The best choice of gas column cushion protection milk powder cans, of course, to pay additional costs; In the face of infringement, in addition to domestic institutions to complain about the rights, but also to the consumer Rights of consumption authority complaints, such as the United States of BBB (the full name of decoupled Business according, Chinese translation for "Business improvement
In addition, Hai also has a risk of payment. Hai, due to credit card information by foreign store store, and foreign credit card payment system transactions without password, transmission process may be "peeping" in all aspects, the number of stolen risk.
Commodity identity so fake overseas purchase luxury goods tickets are bought online
In addition to their own to go to the foreign shopping website hard to Amoy goods, life Many people choose to buy the domestic shopping platform merchants or friends purchase, now micro-trust friends Circle is often friends of the purchase "business" brush screen. However, the reporter search on the Internet keyword "purchasing, fake", jumping out of the news reports abound.
There are media reports, "currently on a global scale, ' Global overseas Purchase Network platform ' has built a very secretive purchasing industry chain, they have a very mysterious role hidden in the shop behind the purchase, a control online shopping shop, the other end from the domestic ' a goods ' manufacturers focus on taking goods, hoarding goods.
Many overseas purchasing merchants promise to provide shopping tickets such as overseas shopping ticket, which consumers think is the best proof to avoid fakes, but the bill is spent a few dollars can buy.
For example, luxury goods, including luxury packaging, merchandise ID cards, and so on a full package of only dozens of yuan.
Online search of the reporter found that through homemade or buy luxury jewelry shopping tickets, fake and shoddy products turned into a big international news coverage throughout the country, are from the local mainstream media. Taobao and other sites have been exposed to sell overseas purchasing small tickets.
The practitioners who do the purchasing business tell reporters: "Online have a variety of small ticket templates, as long as a heat-sensitive small ticket printer can be, do not see the difference, you can print English, French and other languages, even the purchase of the land can also choose the country ' United States ', ' France ' and so on. Some local industry and commerce departments in Guangdong have seized such fake dens.
In addition, the micro-trust friends Circle of a variety of friends claiming to have foreign sources, it is difficult to distinguish, even if these friends are very close to people, they are only one link in purchasing. How to supply the home is also unknown.
The most important thing is that purchasing goods is difficult to distinguish between true and false. Zhejiang Province, the director of the Department of Consumer Complaints, South Korea, said that they are purchasing goods, especially luxury goods are difficult to distinguish between true and false, to ensure that the rights are difficult to do. Zhejiang Quality Inspection Science Research Institute said that they can only detect standards, can not be identified brand authenticity, and basically all third-party agencies can not identify, "to test the material is OK, but the sampling will damage the product."
Hai or overseas purchasing to find a formal platform as far as possible to request and retain the relevant invoice waybill

For the Hai, Zhejiang Bureau of Trade and Industry recommendations: to carefully select the site and merchants, as far as possible to choose foreign large-scale formal shopping site, as far as possible to choose the site of proprietary products, as far as possible to choose overseas official stores. For some unknown sites, in the relevant shopping forum on the first view of the site's reputation and service level evaluation; consumers in the sea Amoy, as far as possible to request and retain the relevant invoices, waybill and other evidence to prepare for a rainy,
In addition, consumers buy goods from overseas encounter consumer disputes can not be in the domestic complaints, can only be carried out in accordance with the laws and regulations of overseas enforcement, dealing with more trouble, so the industry and Commerce Department advised consumers to buy high-priced goods must be cautious, reduce commodity rights, repair and other unnecessary trouble.
