The following is a mother's self-report, which was tossed enough by "Double 11".
Anyway, these days, as an ordinary housewife, I was choked by the damn "Double 11". At this time of year, I feel stressed out for fear of missing out on some so-called "crazy deals". In fact, we, the poor consumers, are the biggest victims.
As a housewife, I feel a lot of pressure at this time of year. Don't look at us ordinary consumers who are ostensibly fishing for some so-called "Double 11 discounts", but in fact, there is no benefit at all.
Let me talk about myself first, in order to buy some daily necessities for my family, I have survived the "Double 11" in the past few years. First of all, at the end of October every year, merchants begin to snipe at our old customers who have fixed consumption habits. They keep sending text messages, emails, and APP pushes, all kinds of hard urges you to "place an order first, place an order first". The reason is that if you place an order in advance, you can enjoy the best price on Double 11.
But in fact, they don't care if you place an order in advance or not, and the prices of many products on Double 11 are not cheaper than the usual prices. I have a relative, as a loyal fan of the brand, she has listed all the shopping lists for Double 11 in advance. When I really opened the shopping cart on Double 11, I see, oh my God, there were no substantial discounts at all. But it's no wonder, you think, really big brand merchants, can they tolerate their products being swept away in vain during Double 11?
Therefore, those of us who were tricked into placing orders in advance fell for the merchants. I started to learn to be obedient in the past two years, and I simply didn't place an order a week before Double 11. But the merchants will not let us go so easily, and they began to raise prices wildly a few days before Double 11. What is the price of the month and the day is the real "double 11 price", we really don't understand.
But even so, in order to add some practical daily necessities to our homes, we ordinary people still squeezed into the crowd war on the day of Double 11. After buying it, I found that the product had already been double-fed. In other words, all the money saved was lost in vain. What's even more terrifying is that the express delivery is too late to deliver at all, and we remit the money first for no reason, but we can't get the goods.
I won't talk about the bitterness of us ordinary consumers, even the merchants are actually the victims of the disaster. In order to achieve the sales task of the platform, they had to put all the expensive storage costs and labor costs on these few days. Not to mention, factories also have to pay a heavy price for it. I've seen firsthand how temp workers treat goods roughly.
What's even more terrifying is that the courier brother was tortured. I live in an old community, the past few days of Double 11, the express car in the community is up and down, and each little brother's arm is full of express mail, and the head is a receipt. It's not easy for the courier brother, just to send us ordinary consumers some innocuous sundries, they can't even take care of eating.
Whether it is consumers, merchants, or courier brothers, before this crazy "Double 11" shopping festival, we have all become cannon fodder in the shopping mall war. For their own selfish interests, those capitalists who treat us like mustard have really crushed us all.
I just want to ask, do you have a hole in your brain when you were engaged in the "Double 11" shopping festival? What are you doing to spend so much effort and cause such a waste of social resources? Just to let those e-commerce platforms make a profit, can they spoil us ordinary people?
epilogue
I really think that this "Double 11" shopping festival should really be canceled. It's time for the government to step in and the masses to raise their voices. We want to keep the unbalanced shopping method of 11.11, which creates waste, out of our sight from now on! We must let the goods return to their proper price system, let the merchants shrink this wanton speculative marketing means, and return the market to a rational, healthy and orderly shopping environment!
That's it, whoever agrees to give it a thumbs up!
