Its not sensitive data. It's Ur ignorance. U r the The typical not smart want to act smart.
It's that all your devices there after better be on China server.... Bcos devices between globan and China server cannot be added to the same app. Then end up very ma fan.

True. Now I regretted not knowing PDD earlier and paid insane prices at TT, Lazada and Shopee

Not necessarily all things made in china cheaper on PDD compared to our local retailers. Been buying Sensodyne Repair n Protect toothpaste from Venus Beauty 2 tubes for $9.90. There was a time they brought in made in china stock with chinese wordings on the packaging. Did a search on PDD and exact same goes for around $6+ a tube after GST.

Now i think Venus Beauty stock is made in indonesia with Haleon branding instead of the previous GSK.

I will never buy "cheap" highly processed food from unknown overseas sources, nor recommend it.
Usually, as it might come with add seasonings, preservatives, and texture/color enhancers to hide "somethings". Especially, those advertised as extra-QQ or tasty.

If PDD can speed up their delivery they will be unbeatable

By sea, 7 days is already the fastest. Add loading, unloading, and customs clearance, and you’re probably looking at another 7 days.

For PDD these days, if it reaches my doorstep within 21 days, I’m already very happy.

Nobody is going to pay for air shipping on a SGD 10 item, although technically you can still do that on Taobao. But if we had a high-speed bullet train to Tuas, then different story lah...

yeah. Honestly if you want faster, you use forwarder lor. But it incur cost and it will not be worth for cheap products

Nowadays if I find something on TikTok Shop, Lazada or Shopee, I will scan the items on the PDD app to see if they are cheaper (which most of time are) than these 3 platforms.

Like I said, probably something even the locals in China dont find it nice or want to buy. Then its dumped on PDD.

My 踩雷 purchases on PDD so far
- Fake vietnam coffee. Made in china. Tasteless and alot of leftover residue.
- Fake aroma essence for diffuser/nebulizer. Advertised as high concentration oil based but its highly diluted with water or alcohol.

To a lesser extent, i ordered this super tall/thick memory foam pillow.

No issues with the dimensions/thickness but the foam itself is pretty soft so your neck and head will sink into the pillow which kinda defeats the point of having a thick pillow. But i am getting used to the feeling and liking it more and more.
