Today, news such as "Kindle or withdrawing from the Chinese market" and "Kindle large-scale shortage of goods" appeared on Weibo hot search, triggering heated discussion among netizens. What kindle products are out of stock? Can I get the spot when I buy it now? The reporter visited the offline and online Kindle flagship stores to find out.
"Is this one in stock?"
"Out of stock."
In the Amazon Kindle offline flagship store located in the Expo Source Shopping Center, the three products of The Kindle Youth Edition, Classic Edition and Premium Edition were displayed, and from time to time customers came to understand the products.
According to the staff in the store:
The classic version is more cost-effective and more people buy it. The classic version of the paperwhite 4 is in stock, 8GB is available, 32GB is not, because today there are just customers who bought 15 units, so there is no stock in the store, you can book now, about a week or so can be shipped, if you want to buy at least a week in advance. The two paperwhite 5s in the store sold yesterday, and the company has not shipped them yet, but they can be booked now, and they can be shipped by express tomorrow, and if they are fast, they can be shipped that night. The Premium Edition of kindle oasis is currently out of stock, and even if it is in stock, it is only 32GB. The youth version is in stock. ”
In the Kindle Jingdong self-operated flagship store, at present, only the youth version is in stock in the store, and other versions are shown to be out of stock. According to the store's online customer service, other payments are temporarily out of stock, and will arrive in the later stage, and the specific arrival time cannot be determined.
Why is the Kindle out of stock? Online customer service said that "the goods are hot and there are no goods in many areas." Offline flagship store staff said, "Every year before the Spring Festival is the peak of sales, even if the annual meeting is not held, some companies will also send some gifts to employees, so now there are fewer goods." If you want to buy it, you can book it in advance. ”
Will Kindle exit the Chinese market? Will stores be affected? Kindle Jingdong's self-operated flagship store customer service said, "We are officially authorized agents of Amazon, and we have not received any news about this." ”
Some offline flagship store staff said that they have not received news at present, nor have they heard, "I myself bought a paperwhite 5 last month, less than a month, if I want to quit the Chinese market later, then our company will definitely let me not buy, there may be no after-sales and the like in the future." ”
For the news of "Kindle or withdraw from the Chinese market", some netizens said, "Don't quit, Kindle is too convenient to read books"
Some netizens also said, "Buying is equivalent to watching, almost forgetting that I still have this thing."
