400 Yuan fake products were sold on Yangmatou for 7000 Yuan and unsupervised;buyers relying on loopholes could earn 100,000 each month
Reporter from New Beijing News tested yangmatou's daigou process phisically .Loopholes exist in buyers certification, supply verification, logistics supervision etc .
"The water of daigou market is too deep .There are hidden mystery from the source to transport channels ."Zhang Jie, engaged in overseas purchasing for many years , told the Beijing News reporter ."There are loopholes in even seemingly formal oversea purchasing platform .“He said,buyers make use of the loopholes to earn as high as 100,000 Yuan per month .
On July 9th,2017 ,the reporter received a package purchased via yangmatou which comfirmed Zhangjie's saying .In early April,the reporter registered overseas buyers account through an Australian friend's help on Yangmatou .After approved ,he opened an online shop specialized in selling Austria goods .After that ,the reported delivered a high imitation bag with around 400 Yuan cost from China to this Australian friend .Posted on the shop,the reported bought this bag at cost 7000 RMB and received it on July 9th .Removing the cost in all cycle ,the buyer earned 6000 yuan for one order theoretically .During this process,the regulatory procedures established by platform are useless .
Where are the high imitation bags from ?
In a secret small workshop located in Guangdong Dongguan suburb ,2 production lines run day and night with high speed operation. Handbags printed with logo MK Coach are being thrown off to the ground from production line and accumulated to mountains .This is Mr Tian's workshop for brand handbags .The daily capacity is around thousands of pieces and it is quiet famous in local circles .
The reporter get in touch with Mr Tian via Zhang jie's introduction ."We only make MK Coach brands .”He said:"compared with Gucci,LV and other big international brands,the advantages of this 2 brands are that they are not so expensive and have wider followers ""Now even the sweeping aunt carrying LV,people who are familiar with the brand can judge whether it is genuine or false at a glance, then who would make those big brand copies ?
Comparing with tens of thousands cost of top brands on daigou website ,for safety's seek,people prefer to buy at store .Those light luxury goods with price between 3000 Yuan to 10,000 Yuan are becoming the main force of purchasing goods from abroad .
Mr tian is very confident with the bags' quality .Buying a genuine one first ,then copying it 1:1 according to the material used ,These are not realistic .
Even if you know the material ,fabric ,could you get the same material ? Mr Tian is not willing to tell the source of his material ,but he vaguely mentioned that he had spent a lot on those brand's supplier , and then in accordance with the genuine bag's use of materials, he buys the accessories from the same channel .We use the same material as on genuine ones .Even zipper,pendants etc hardware are the same .Thus we could grantee that the copied ones are the same as genuine ones .
When customers have questions about the source of these goods ,Mr Tian is very confident .I have imported certificate for every bag ,even oversea purchasing proof ,who could see that these are not genuine ones .
In fact,in order to white wash these bags ,Mr Tian has friends living abroad .When buyers need proof ,he first send the goods to friends abroad from china ,then deliver it to buyer's address .Thus proof of delivering from abroad and importing proof all solved .
In previous time ,he could change the starting delivery address to oversea via forwarder .Due to logistic company's strict supervision ,this method could not work any more .
The supply chain investigation .
Physical store offer a full of invoice,proof etc .It is well known that Guangzhou Baiyun leather city has those fake copies .
Insider of daigou platform said that not only we do not know what goods the third party is selling ,but also the self sourcing products have the possibility of being fake .
What we buy on cross boarder platform may be fake and the goods may be from China .
