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.
ya bro, cannot buy this kind of product. Really will die early.

that poster he 听说 from who ? directly from company staff ?

there is political incentive to keep the free shipping open
these importers in asean countries buy $1 flip to $3-5 .... they earn the lions share of profit while the china manufacturer only earn 10 to 50 cents
i think mainland china is pissed and therefore if they connect directly to consumers , the consumers $3 $5 budget will buy full $3 to $5 of china goods , instead of buying $1 of china goods ....
this will supercharge their exports growth and help to keep their factories alive , workers less retrenchment , less mainlanders thinking about protest and rebel ... the basis for every policy in china is keeping their people as far away as possible from rebel intention , subsidizing a few dozen warehouses and cargo ships is peanuts in the grand scheme of things
The issue with this is the amount of waste it creates.

Used to be able to buy big bulky stuff like washing machines, sofa, full bed that's included for free shipping with minimum RMB99 spending, but now they excluded all those already.
Wow. Those furniture shop can close shop if they still offer these for free shipping

I bought Japanese brand laundry detergent powder, dish washing liquid. The product I received is same as the one I bought from Amazon before. Price is slightly lower and no need to top up shipping.
I also buy mostly cleaning/household products like mop, toilet brush, duster.

This one is likely Malaysia side, many local sellers at there are complaining PDD affecting their local business sales.
They complain all the more their competitor should be happy? Why stop the 免邮 because of some complaint by people not related to them
