一年一度的“双十一”就要到了，你准备好网购血拼了吗？提早准备、理智购物才能令人满意而归。下面就一起来看看“双十一”网购都有哪些注意事项。 For those who just love to shop online, now is the best time of the year,
because Nov 11, China’s Singles’ Day, will see some seemingly irrational
discounts, in line with the tradition that was started in
2010. Last year, Taobao, a major online shopping website, set a record of 1 billion
yuan in sales on that day alone, with a whopping 19.1 billion yuan exchanging
hands on the website. The number of items sold paralyzed the delivery services
due to overloading. On the verge of yet another annual spending spree, it’s
worth reading up on tricks and tips to make the most of the shopping
carnival. Be prepared Select goods early and rationally Put everything you want in the “shopping cart” to make a list of potential
purchases. Then go through it carefully, removing anything you selected on
impulse. Seal a deal in advance Talk to service staff as early as possible. They may have already decided on
a discount policy for Nov 11 and may even ship the product to you in advance,
which is a good way to avoid the heavy online traffic on the special
day. Manage your budget Popular items will be in strong demand, so make sure you’re ready to pay with
the least number of procedures. It’s best to deposit a reasonable amount of
money in your Alipay account so that you can pay without going through any
lengthy verifications. If you’re planning on using a credit card, you can call
the bank to apply for more credit, but only spend as much as you can afford to
repay. Look at the real items With many products, such as shoes and clothes, it’s better to look at them
first to check their quality, size and appearance and ensure you’re buying the
right one. Be smart It’s all about timing According to Alipay, there are several peak hours when online traffic is
heavy and there is a higher risk of failed transactions. Try to avoid the
following time spans: 12 pm-1:30 am, 10-11 am, 3-5 pm, and 8-10
pm. Apps as a helping hand Smartphone apps like Huihui Shopping list the best offers on a particular
website, while Yitao, a software developed by Alibaba, compares prices of
selected items across different websites to bring you the best
deal. Track and open your package Because of the huge demand, delivery mistakes are inevitable, so try to track
the package. If the product is perishable, keep the tracking record in case of a
dispute. When the package arrives, check the item carefully before signing for
it. Now you can go ahead and enjoy all your new
stuff! |
