Secretly Rising Prices, Red Packets Trap... Is The Electricity Shopping Festival Welfare Or Routine?

"6? 18 store goods have not been used up, and I want to double eleven?" the annual Shopping Festival of the electricity supplier is various, but the most famous is "double eleven". From "buy buy buy" to "poor to eat soil", did the young people learn a lesson from this long way to understand "routine"?

Business sincerity is not enough "dark rub" price increases.

"Double eleven" originated from a promotional activity of Taobao mall in 2009. After years of development, it has become an annual event of China's e-commerce industry and has gradually affected the international e-commerce industry.

Now the shopping festival is afraid that the 365 day of the calendar is not enough. In addition to the "original 6" 18 "11" 11 "12 12" days, the number of festivals won't be let off. Besides, Queen's day, home decoration Festival, cool day... Businessmen always want to have endless holidays. Consumers who run away with concessions and discounts find business sincerity is not enough.

First up, then down, bright down and dark up, belong to the "first routine". In the "combination" of the "wool fleece" strategy, the netizens posted a comparison of the prices of the purchased goods before and after the double eleven, and found that many products had "dark rubbed" prices. For example, a brand of sanitary napkins, this year's "6. 18" purchase of a group of price concessions after 60 yuan, "11. 11" of the price reached 75 yuan, another famous brand of eye essence capsules, the average price is about 3 to 4 yuan, "11 11" but rose to nearly 5 yuan, big families have "condemned": "you are a little gone." Many other products do not offer the lowest price for the double eleven year, such as the price of brand eye stickers is higher than that of "99 big promotions".

The media also reported that some of the electronic commerce platform products first increased in price before the "double eleven" promotion, but the price was reduced on the day of promotion, and the promotions were not worthy of the name. Consumers should compare the usual sales price with the promotion price to confirm whether there is real benefit.

How cheap is it to play?

"One operation is as fierce as a tiger, divided into red packets 25 Fen." The second big slot for consumers to criticisms is: more and more games, less and less expensive. The preferential policies offered by the electricity supplier can be roughly divided into random red packets, full coupons and shopping allowances. Among them, the way to get a red envelope is not only a random drop in category pages, but also a small game. These small games need to punch cards, share with friends, browse product information, and so on, in order to upgrade to get more opportunities to open red envelopes. However, after experiencing the daily operation of "perseverance" and "annoying" friends and family members at three or five times, it is a matter of luck to win the red packets in the end. "I will never forget the new year's Eve, which is divided into five and 35 Fen." This is probably the voice of most people.

The third is to make contributions on deposit and gift. Some businesses deliberately confuse "deposit" with "deposit". The difference between them is that "deposit is not refundable, and deposit can be refunded". Consumers should carefully check the presale of goods before paying, consult customer service about "whether the deposit can be refunded" and other issues, and retain the certificate. Double ten gold must not be refunded in principle, because when the deposit is paid, it is necessary to check the terms "agree to the deposit, not refund" to make the deposit smoothly. That is to say, if the consumer's personal reasons do not cause the payment of the product in time, the non business reasons lead to the closure of the order, and the deposit will not be refunded. However, in the actual shopping process, in addition to some purchasing and customized products, businesses may not refund the deposit according to the agreement, most shops can still be refunded after consultation with customer service. If you do not discuss with the merchants, you can wait until the 10th day of the day, and then return the goods, so that you can return all the money. Of course, although the platform has the operation of "eccentric" consumers, it is best to consider clearly and place the order again. After all, we must have the spirit of contract and do not need to create unnecessary trouble for ourselves.

Gifts may also be hidden by businesses. During the double eleven period last year, an American women's wear brand store displayed that it could get a Canvas Handbag when spending 2000 yuan. Ms. Li, who did not plan to buy such a high price of clothing, came up with the sum of consumption for the sake of gifts. However, after receiving the goods, no handbags were found. After consulting the customer service, they were told that the gifts had all been given away. But at this time, Ms. Li found that the slogan "full gift" was still hanging on the front page of the store. Although a small number of lines that could hardly be seen clearly showed that the number of gifts was limited, she thought that if the gift was given away, the seller should remove the slogan, otherwise it would mislead consumers. So she complained to the sales platform. Of course, the subsequent result was that the merchant sent her the gift she deserved.

Therefore, before purchasing the purchase order, the consumer should take a screenshot of the page of the promotional activities if there are any accompanying gifts, so as to prevent businesses from sending gifts according to their promises. The law has already clearly stipulated that gifts should also be guaranteed. Generally, there is no invoice for gifts, so the warranty card is the only voucher for the warranty of gifts. If you need this service guarantee, you should ask the businessman to add the official seal on the warranty card when shopping, at least you should get a dialogue screenshot of customer service warranty. If there is a dispute in the later stage, you can give evidence to the electronic business platform.

Distinguish between "electricity providers" and "red packets trap"

In addition, the need to remind consumers is, "buy buy buy" weeding when we should pay attention to "electricity providers for special purpose". This kind of merchandise looks exactly the same as the products sold by the entity store, but there are differences in color, configuration or some functions. In order to increase sales, manufacturers will release some types of products or inventory for online price markup. The so-called "electronic business" products are generally low in price and slightly inferior in quality, especially in clothing, electrical appliances, shoes and hats, bags and other items. This happens more frequently, and consumers must polish their eyes.

Finally, watch out for the red envelopes trap. Those who need personal information to dismantle the red envelope must not be trusted. Beware of low-cost traps, such as "one dollar competition" is actually a lottery; "low price group" may be just to obtain user privacy information; some false collage links may have Trojan horses.
