Haitao TV doesn't rely on ratings?
In the era of strong internet thinking, our shopping habits have undergone significant changes. Initially, people could only shop offline at malls and supermarkets. With the rise of online shopping, more and more people prefer to buy products online due to its convenience and competitive pricing. Today, as the online shopping industry becomes more advanced, consumers are no longer limited to buying domestic products but are increasingly turning to global purchases—what we call "Haitao."
Haitao was originally focused on small items like cosmetics, bags, watches, and clothing that were easy to ship. However, in recent years, people have become more comfortable with Haitao and are now trying larger items such as TVs and washing machines. These buyers often have high standards for quality and may choose Haitao because certain foreign brands or models aren’t available in China.
The popularity of Haitao is partly due to price differences, but more importantly, it's driven by the belief that foreign products are of higher quality. A few years ago, the Sanlu milk powder scandal made Chinese consumers lose trust in domestic brands, leading many to travel abroad to buy baby formula. As Haitao became more accessible, it made this process much easier.
Now, Haitao isn’t just for small items anymore. Many people use it to purchase electronics, including TVs. While the logistics industry has improved, making the process simpler and faster, the question remains: Is it worth it to Haitao a large item like a TV?
So, does Haitao TV actually save money? Let’s take a closer look.
Currently, several platforms like Amazon, Best Buy, and some Japanese sites offer TVs for international shipping. However, before you start, you need an English-friendly account and must be able to understand product details. Also, not all sites offer direct shipping to China. For those that do, the fees can be quite high. That’s why many people turn to third-party shipping companies.
Let’s compare prices. Take Sony’s latest flagship model, the BRAVIA A1 OLED TV. On Amazon US, it costs around $2,998 (about 19,761 RMB), while on JD.com, it’s priced at 24,999 RMB. There's a difference of over 5,000 RMB. On Amazon Japan, the price is about 21,912 RMB. But even with these lower prices, there are other costs to consider.
Shipping a 55-inch TV from the US via SF Express would cost around 6,173 RMB, which is more than the domestic price. Using a freight forwarding company might be cheaper, but there are risks involved. The TV might get damaged during transit, and customs delays can make the process take up to two months.
Also, voltage differences between countries can be an issue. TVs from the US or Japan use 110V, while China uses 220V. This means you’ll need a voltage converter. Additionally, content platforms differ between regions. Some services like Netflix or YouTube may not be accessible without a local set-top box.
In conclusion, while Haitao offers potential savings, the added costs, risks, and complications often outweigh the benefits. For large items like TVs, buying locally is usually the safer and more practical choice.
