Find The Cheapest Price For Online Shopping

Online Shop

Online shops everywhere, especially in the web marketplace. From the many online shops, of course there are those who sell cheaper for the same item. Retailers or resellers, of course, want lower prices for the same item, to save money or to make a little more profit.
But before going to tips to find the lowest price for an online shop, here is the risk of taking goods at a cheaper price for buyers and resellers:

1. Cheaper goods doesn't mean have the same quality as the expensive ones.
This is the fact, cheaper goods have a higher risk of quality. It could be cheaper because the quality is below the comparable item. For example, you intend to buy super brand KW shoes of a certain brand, in one store the price is 300 thousand while in another store the price is 250 thousand. It could be that the two items are indeed different, even though the picture is the same, in the first store the super KW while in the second store KW20 is possible. This is because most do not take their own photos but take existing photos. It could be that the photo is a photo of the original product.

2. New or used goods
Sometimes we are not careful because most of us do not read thoroughly the description of the item. Whether the cheaper item is a new item or not, see in detail the item description. The risk of shopping online is that we never know the item before the item reaches us. Although there are photos that help us 'imagine' what the item is, but for certain items only photos are not enough, sometimes it needs to be tried, touched and felt first.

3. Service quality
Cheap goods are sometimes offset by poor service quality, such as unprofessional, unresponsive, slow response, the time period between the message and the goods delivered to the old courier, and so on.

Here are tips for finding and getting the cheapest prices for online shop

1. Look for cheap items on the web marketplace.
This is the first way to think. If you are an online shop fan, of course you know with Tokopedia and Shopee, at least 2 of these webs are more familiar to me. Many suppliers, distributors or even producers are also importers who sell directly on the web.

In the distribution chain there are at least 5 parties, namely:

1. Manufacturer

2. Importers (If overseas manufacturers)

3. Distributor / Agent

4. Retailers / resellers / dropshipper

5. Consumer / end user

From here it looks really why the price can be much cheaper than the retail selling price. They (producers / importers / distributors) can sell retail directly to end users by cutting distribution channels.

Before deciding to buy cheaper items in the web marketplace, you should first find out the condition of the product, whether it is new or used, original or fake, how the quality is. Most product descriptions and specifications are not mentioned in detail, therefore further questions must be asked. In addition, there are other filters which are the reputation of the store and reviews from previous buyers. Pay attention to previous buyers' reviews and comments whether or not it's good.

To find the cheapest goods actually in every web marketplace, it's just the way that only the terms used are different. Most are equipped with item sorting features. Choose to arrange lists from the cheapest prices to the most expensive, or vice versa. But if it is arranged only based on price, sometimes it is irrelevant, often the goods with the cheapest prices are not in stock once asked. This is because many online stores use a strategy by installing the cheapest prices to attract visitors. The solution to that, you have to compare the results of the sort by price with the results of the sort based on sales and the most recent posts.

2. Search for goods directly to the producer / importer / distributor
Now it's the internet age, we can search directly to the specific product's official website. Local products can be searched directly to the producer while outside products can be searched directly to the importer, or usually referred to as the master distributor.

For this method, you need a rather large capital because usually at the producer / importer level / distributor will only serve large quantities of purchases. Especially to get the lowest price, which can even be cheaper than the price at the online shop owned by the producer / importer / distributor.

This method has a very high level of risk and it is quite difficult to negotiate if you are only a small reseller. The risk will be greater if you are not good at reading the market, because the items purchased in large quantities may not sell well in the market. Sometimes there are also those who provide a consignment system, that is, the goods you can take in advance, payments are made only when the products sold, the unsold ones were returned. But now the practice is hard to find, because most prefer buying butus or selling it directly to the end user. To find an authorized distributor / master distributor of a particular brand, you can search through google search, type keyword "authorized distributor ..." or "master distributor ... " However, it is still better if you get the contact number directly from the sales / marketing distributor in question from your colleague / network friend. Some other distributors also have to be visited directly. These are tips for finding the cheapest prices for online shops. You can also look for it by using price comparison sites like pricearea, priceza, pricebook and so on. But this method is quite troublesome but the results are not satisfactory, because the site mostly displays the actual retail price or the price for end users is not a reseller / dropshipper.
