The cabinet sister of the Harbin Chanel counter told the shell financial reporter that the Chanel Christmas blind box mentioned in the mouth of the above blogger is a Christmas countdown calendar gift box, priced at 6055 yuan, which is the first sale at the domestic counter and has been out of stock. The cabinet sister at the Hangzhou Chanel counter said that the Christmas countdown calendar gift box was sold out of the whole system yesterday and could not be transferred.

Shell financial reporter combed through the public information found that the video blogger sent chanel Christmas countdown calendar gift box 5 pieces of formal goods totaling 2585 yuan, namely: 520 yuan price of hand cream, price of 245 yuan nail polish, price of 790 yuan No. 5 perfume, price of 330 yuan No. 5 perfume soap, price of 350 yuan No. 5 color and No. 176 color lipstick.

Lawyer Li Junli, director of Beijing Junli Law Firm, told Shell Financial Reporter that Chanel's Reciprocal Christmas Calendar Gift Box is suspected of price fraud, and the total value of the goods sold is very different from the price sold at 6,055 yuan, and according to the fourth paragraph of Article 14 of the Price Law, business operators must not use false or misleading price means to lure consumers or other operators into trading with them. This kind of price violation is usually called price fraud, also known as deceptive price, which refers to the behavior of business operators using false or misleading price conditions to lure consumers or other business operators into trading with them.

Lawyer Fang Yuzhou, a senior partner at Beijing Yingke Law Firm, also said that if a business operator sells many single commodities as a whole ("packages", "gift boxes", etc.), and the sales price is much higher than the sum of the prices of individual commodities, such marketing behavior of the business operator is suspected of violating the provisions of Item 4 of Article 14 of the Price Law: "The business operator shall not use false or misleading price means to lure consumers or other business operators into trading with them". The market supervision and management department may impose administrative penalties on the basis of Article 40 of the Price Law; at the same time, consumers may claim a refund of part of the overpaid price.

Lawyer Xie Liang of Guangdong Huanyu Jingmao Law Firm believes that if the gift box is sold, it only says what products are inside, but does not inform the consumer of the true value of these products, nor does it inform the consumer that the products of the gift box will be more expensive than the actual sale of a single product, which may be misleading to consumers and undermine the principle of fair trade and the principle of good faith. According to the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests, consumers enjoy a number of rights such as the right to know, the right to fair trade, the right to respect, and the right to supervision. Article 8 of the Law on the Protection of The Rights and Interests of Consumers stipulates that consumers have the right to know the true situation of the goods they purchase or use or the services they receive. Article 10 stipulates that consumers have the right to fair trade.
