[EDMW discussion] Shopping using Pingduoduo 拼多多 (PDD) app

[hg2]

I am sure this is what many merchants on shopee/lazada are doing I'll check it out too! Enjoy!

Its call drop shipping.... local seller make sense, as they can delivery within 7 days.
Overseas drop ship, buyers get impatient and cancel orders...

aux

i used monthly for a few times then lazy liao stop using

is vacuum the mattress not bedsheet

yes corded is better than cordless ....... more powerful motor and consistent 10 minute performance until it cut off due to heat protection

the buttons is bluff one .... it's only led light ..... no setting to turn on off individual function ....... it's only off and on ........ simple no frills $20

the member redeem $5 coupon at 10am .... i keep refreshing the page and saw the coupon then wrong reflex action refresh the page and went back it's gone .... less than 5 seconds .... even if real also hard for non-gamers

I’ve been using Jimmy which is a sub-brand under Xiaomi. Can’t remember when I bought it but it was from Taobao back in ezbuy days. Many years already and I’m happy to report that it’s still working.

Some parcels arrived damaged, haven't received them. Tracking status seems to be stuck. Don't know what the sorting facility will be doing with them. Pinduoduo customer service said they're 'checking' but don't have much hope anything meaningful will be done. Anyone kena something similar before?



Lesson learnt. Only going to buy super cheap stuff on PDD from now on, and avoid consolidation of multiple items where possible.

Past few packages were banged up badly during shipping and I notice PDD logistics don't tend to consolidate pack the items as well as taobao purchases.

I kena recently. But I only knew because got a notification that the amount was auto-refunded back. Only after clicking into the tracking then realised is because they noticed the parcel was damaged.

一分钱一分货 ba. I’ve had multiple Xiaomi products fail over the years liao, yet this one is still surviving. Just ironic that a sub-brand has better quality than the main brand

That TikTok is the ultimate definition of irony. Watching local middlemen or regional importers run to the government to cry about "unfair competition" when cross-border e-commerce platforms allow direct-from-factory purchases is wild.

For years, the traditional retail supply chain worked exactly like the Shopee "carrot-chopping" listing we just looked at. An item leaves a factory in China for next to nothing. By the time a middleman imports it, slaps their local brand sticker on it, accounts for their massive markup, and sells it in a regional market, the consumer pays a 300% to 400% premium.

When those same middlemen were doubling and tripling the sale price of simple everyday snacks or products, they called it "smart business," "covering overhead," and "free-market capitalism." But the second apps like Temu, Pinduoduo, and cross-border direct-shipping bypass them completely—allowing you to buy your tissue boxes for $0.20 and 1kg of sweet potatoes for $2.20 directly from the source—suddenly they want the government to step in and save them.

They didn't spare a single thought for the consumers' wallets when they were overcharging. Now that direct factory shipping has leveled the playing field, people are finally realizing just how much "carrot" tax they've been paying all along!

hmm a bit over budget, the cheap ones dun have "vibration" that beat the mattress
i only need good suction and vibration, no need hot temp or uv light or fragrance

yes, xiaomi is no longer cheap good reliable

 

[petrichor]

anyone shipped by yjdsg ?
do you received a consolidated bundle?
from tracking, seems they sent out to china customs one by one

haha they never consolidate and bundle together
last mile by spx, i received 5 whatapps telling me they deliver today
i tot their system spoilt and spam me
then i return home see the items lying individually by the door

 

[petrichor]

haha i just saw small 52cm ceiling led+fan for e27 sockets
$5 include gst

For just $5 can buy just to see what crap they send over....or could be a legit good stuff

if it last > a year, will be my best pdd buy

decently bright for bedroom,
the remote can adjust light brightness n temperature
the fan is stable and not noisy, decent blow
especially cooler months where my current stand fan's speed 1 is still too strong

"vibration" 拍打 to loose the dust mite is the rubber helix in the roller brush , it's harder than the brush so it "beat" the mattress on every rotation

uv light is 6 to 8 little UV led on the bottom , there is safety mechanism to turn off if a roller wheel is not pressed hard enough to retract the wheel ....... on matress soft topper there is not enough force to make the wheel retract in unless push the vacuum hard downward force ... i felt like jamming a piece of plastic in to make the wheel always stuck inside so the UV light won't turn off for eye safety

hot temp to dry the mattress and make it inhospitable for the dust mite is the vacuum cleaner's own hot exhaust hair being 1/2 diverted downward

i dun dare use pdd on my main phone
its a pain to do it from the tablet w/o edmw acc

u search e27 led 风扇
under $5 w gst

 

[Krabs.]

i don't want fan in e27 socket because i know these cheapo fans not well balanced there is a rotation shake on the socket which over long term can loosen the screw in the ceiling .... many installers nowadays lazy don't put wall plug just direct screw steel to concrete

thks, i feel uv n heat are just gimmicky
need to leave it at the same spot for a few minutes to take effect

hmmm, i saw some with vibration pads
my previous vac uses a motorized roller ...rubbed a lot of fibre off my mattress cover and form long strands that cause entanglements
