At the end of October 2020, due to business needs, we need to purchase a Samsung s20 mobile phone from Hong Kong for project testing. I have no experience in overseas shopping, so I took it for granted that after placing an order online in Hong Kong, I placed an order from the official website of Fortress Hong Kong, set up a self-pickup store in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, and then asked SF Express Hong Kong to pick up the goods directly at my door and deliver them by courier. .
The result was counterproductive. The guy from , SF Express, and called me directly and told me that it was not cost-effective. The customs fee was almost the same as the price of the mobile phone, so he asked me to cancel the express order directly. There was no way. I could have contacted Fortress for a refund or return, but Fortress' customer service was very inefficient. According to my personality of never hitting a wall or looking back, I tried my best to find other solutions. This indirectly contributed to the Taobao platform store's malicious intent to directly swallow the buyer's goods, without any compensation on the grounds that the express delivery risk was not guaranteed, and Taobao officials did not take any disciplinary measures.
Continuing from the above, I asked one or two friends who often shop overseas. They recommended that Taobao does this kind of business. It should be no problem to find an old store with good reviews.
I searched on Taobao, oh, there are indeed many people. There are many people who buy cosmetics on behalf of others, and buy clothes and bags through customs clearance. There are so many people, it’s dizzying. I went to several stores to talk about my needs. Some quoted prices of more than 800 yuan, and some were cheap. I chose one with high quality and low price. After negotiating 380 yuan to Shenzhen, it was directly delivered to my designated address in Beijing. It may be that the mentality of greed for cheap paved the way for the success of being deceived. I just don’t know that the price is more than 800, which is more expensive. Have any netizens been deceived and swallowed the goods?
This story is quite long, please take the time to write it in parts. Please understand.
