Daigou is a Chinese word meaning \"buying on behalf of\",<br> the past years it has become quite a business for Chinese living abroad. The product being Daigoued varies from mild powder to luxury bags. Daigou can be done legally or illegally.<\/p>\n<p> I've been living in Europe for almost 10 years now,<br> I've never done either profitable Daigou thing or just Daigou for friends or family. I had some friends asking me to buy them something tho,<br> they soon stopped asking knowing I won't bother. <\/p>\n<p>I admit I'm not so \"helpful\" in such,<br> main reason is often I'm lazy to carry stuff. If it's some luxury goods,<br> I don't have much liquid fiat money to buy,<br> if it's just some small things like milk powder,<br> makeups,<br> can much more expensive can it get if you just buy it from some import shops,<br> seems quite inefficient asking me to buy it anyway.<\/p>\n<p>The other day a friend of mine who's running a luxury bag Daigou business texted me asking if I have some free time to check out if some certain bags are in stock. Due to the virus,<br> there're far fewer customers in major European cities,<br> making it much easier to buy bags of popular colors and popular models. I was explained that for a mid-range bag (2000ish euro) I will earn 200-ish euro just as a middle person.<\/p>\n<p>By middle person I mean I don't even have to send it to China,<br> all I need to do is going to the shop,<br> speaking Dutch or French (friend told me that a lot of shops don't like Daigou,<br> as they prefer to sell to locals),<br> buy the bag and gave the bag to someone who manage to send it to China. <\/p>\n<p>I was quite surprised how much profit this Daigou business can make tbh. If I can earn 200 euro just as a middle person... How much more expensive can it be if you buy it in China anyway,<br> maybe most popular bags can't be found in China I guess? Maybe the tax for luxury goods is really that high? I have no idea.<\/p>\n<p>I haven't accepted the offer yet,<br> main reason is I don't really like the vibes of those shops,<br> even just staying there for 5-10 minutes buying bags makes me uncomfortable somehow (can never become one of those fancy girls I guess lol). <\/p>\n<p>Probably most Daigou business is kind of smuggling,<br> but that I don't care much,<br> taxation for such doesn't make much sense anyway,<br> if no such taxation,<br> there also won't be Daigou business right? Plus Daigou is really in grey zone. Still,<br> I don't think I'd get involved in it because I'm dang lazy and anti-social lol.<\/p>\n<p>Have a good weekend.<\/p>\n <br \/><center><hr\/><em>Posted from my blog with <a href='https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/steempress\/'>SteemPress<\/a> : https:\/\/joythewanderer.com\/daigou-%e4%bb%a3%e8%b4%ad-or-cross-border-exporting-is-a-thing\/ <\/em><hr\/><\/center> \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9873\" src=\"https:\/\/joythewanderer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/img_5751.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"594\" \/>\r\n\r\n\u00a9 <a href=\"https:\/\/joythewanderer.com\/\">joythewanderer.com<\/a> ",<br>"json_metadata":" \"community\":\"steempress\",<br>\"app\":\"steempress\",<br>\"image\":[\"\" ,<br>\"tags\":[\"hive-148441\" ,<br>\"canonical_url\":\"https:\/\/joythewanderer.com\/daigou-%e4%bb%a3%e8%b4%ad-or-cross-border-exporting-is-a-thing\/\" " | | comment_options | "author":"joythewanderer",
