- Why our price is higher than Taobao?
In short, it’s because of customs duties and shipping costs.
When items are exported and imported, it has customs duties, total up to 40% or more. Also, in many regions, such as Europe and North American, the package still need to pay additional excise taxes.
Current gas fees are very expensive, and shipping a package will cost at least $25 USD or more.
It means that when the package arrives at your door, the item will have cost over 2x price of Taobao. As we all know, most products of international companies will have different prices in different regions, and only the local market where the factory is located, will have lower prices.
- What is the difference between our products and other shopping sites?
If you are a first-time hanfu buyer, you may be confused, other shopping sites like Amazon and AliExpress also sell the same products, and even a few products may have lower prices, so what’s the difference?
First, just as mentioned above (why the price is higher than Taobao), if you plan to buy hanfu on other shopping sites, please be aware of items that under $50 USD, those products are made of poor quality materials (also may have big differences with the pictures).
Our hanfu factory will also produce hanfu for other shopping platform sellers, and they usually use the cheaper fabric (same product, but different material and quality); other shopping sites also have high quality products, our suggestion is, no matter where you plan to buy, it’s better not to choose hanfu under $50 USD.
