Buying on behalf of

Some brands and products that are less expensive or less expensive locally, especially from Europe and the United States, have become commonplace in modern life.

Purchasing seems straightforward, but behind it often conceals the disadvantages of "invisible" consumption.

Although a small number of buyers will still list the percentage of fees, now more online buyers prefer to use the "one price" pricing method instead of listing the fee ratio, so that the original price of the product can not be found.

Even in the case of a fee, if the original price of the product has been added, the final price will still exceed its value.

Miss Chen of Shanghai said: "purchasing a new Burberry handbag on the Internet, including the postage, the price is 7250 yuan, and later on the official website of Burberry, the price of this handbag is 475 pounds. According to the current exchange rate of 10, it should be around 4750, plus 10% of the handling fee only 5225, plus freight charges can not reach the fees charged by her (purchasing agent)."

The main reason for the "invisible" charge caused by this purchase is asymmetric information. When consumers purchase online, they do not know the price of the product at the time of purchase. If the product is being discounted, the problem will become more serious, and the interests of consumers will be severely damaged.

In fact, many brands' official website is now an e-commerce website. Consumers can easily browse or shop on their website, but the problem is that many European and American websites do not accept international credit cards or provide international shipping, so that consumers in other countries and regions need to buy the intermediary.

How can consumers really enjoy international shopping instead of "invisible"?

In fact, it is a problem of how to solve the problem of information asymmetry.

Recently, the on-line Net-The-Globe.com provides a solution to this problem -- an information pparent instant international shopping platform.

Consumers can go directly to thousands of European online merchants on Net-The-Globe.com, including a large number of international line brand official networks and international well-known online merchants, such as Louis Vuitton, D&G, Burberry, DIOR, Net-A-Porter.com, ASOS.com, Amazon.co.uk and so on. The consumers can buy commodities while browsing these websites, because the consumers see the immediate price of the goods in the place of purchase, so the possibility of 'stealth' consumption is completely eliminated.

Beijing netizens Xia Xia tried Net-The-Globe.com.

Shopping platform

In the end, it was full of praise: "in Net-The-Globe.com, we saw that Emporio Armani was making a discount in summer, and bought a coat and a dress for Mr. and herself respectively, because on the Net-The-Globe.com platform, we could see the price of purchasing products directly, and Net-The-Globe.com used Alipay's cross border services. The exchange rate was the exchange rate of the Bank of China, which guaranteed the exact purchase and postage fees. There was no" invisible consumption ". These are not done in the traditional purchasing agency.

If you have credit cards acceptable to international merchants, but businesses do not provide international shipping or international shipping services too expensive, you can directly use the Net-The-Globe.com's forwarding service to enjoy the most favorable international shipping rates, or even avoid the links and charges of purchasing.

If you shop at the same time from more than one business, you can combine all the products and save the international freight to the greatest extent. International shopping has never been so direct and pparent, and consumers can really get out of the country and shop easily.
