How do sites and apps like kogan/wish/geek sell items cheap (samsung phones for 80% off for example)?
Same way it works in Store. It is cheaper if you buy online, than from a dealer, since the overheads are less.So it is the volume of sales they generate and the fixed costs and variable costs that are far less than traditional chain of distributors, stockists, retailers. efficiency of operation, with automation and less of human intervention.There always lies the problem for the buyer to physically feel the product and so on. But it is good if you buy branded items, where quality is already perceived to be good. Goods return policy, followed by the online sellers will be key to going forward.If you get a poor quality stuff delivered and if you are stuck with the item, without being attended to properly, by the e-seller, there ends his reputation and your incentive to buy.But e-commerce will revolutionize the way retail sales are generated in future.online art shopping platform for wall decor like (http://oreganoart.co) has less offer, still greatest quality they has.

What is the best Amazon replacement for online buying in Australia?
There is no replacement for Amazon as they are the best at what they do.They have the biggest product range, the best prices and the best service.Amazon Prime is fantastic covering not just delivery but including Videoand now more recently Amazon Music.My experience of online commerce dates back to the mid 1990's and started with IT equipment. I moved to Amazon in 2002 when I started my Postgraduate course and needed lots of text books. Simultaneouslybringing up a young family I needed baby equipment too.After Graduating I started on Ebay and have traded there successfully for may years. EBay lacks product range, price and service. Its second bestby quite a margin.
What online stores don't require cvv number or address verification for delivery to Australia?
Amazon and Aldimobile come to mind. There are definitely others too and what these guys said below is essentially true but also false. How do i know? Years of trial and error and buy doing alot of reading and research of new payment platforms as they come to market. Start ups are so desperate not to fail their internal controls are often almost non-existent and if they do exist then there is nothing a bit of well trained SE can get around. Its all about the sale remember!!I think the hidden gem here though is doing something through your own ecommerce site which is using stripe as the payment processor. As its code driven, plugs into most online selling platforms quite easily and has this cool dashboard which you can actually manually enter entire transactions into it really has the potential for so much exploitation. The other key important thing to note here is that you can opt out of the cvv requirement on your dashboard settings for certain transactions. Be careful as this is monitored like nothing else so you need to have a good reason as to why you are not asking for this integral piece of data. Not going to give away what i know here but there is a way to do this. Further to this you decide whether or not a charge back is legitimate or not, so can ultimately challenge these on a as needs basis depending on how many risk points you can afford to give up based on the stripe risk algorithm, which in a nutshell is like a dollar in equals a dollar they are prepared to pass on your bank account so you need to have lots of initial legitimate card transactions that hold at least for the first seven days.Think outside the box as to when Stripe might be prepared to not require cvv data. Hint, what are regular payments that occur on a weekly or monthly basis which would be an absolute pain in the a$$ for the processor to continuously keep having to request the CVV number as it cant store it by law?
How long does it take to ship something from China to Australia and why?
Thanks for A2A. I import from China on a regular basis. The time to ship from China to Australia will depend on the shipping method.There are mainly three shipping methods to import from China to Australia: Ocean freight, Air freight, and Express Mail.Express Mail:Usually it will takes from 3–5 business days from China to Australia. This is the fastest shipping method. It’s good for small parcel, personal items or samples. The popular carriers are UPS, DHL, FedEx and etc. Getting a shipping agent can save you money compared to the price you will get in their retail stores.Air Freight:Air cargo is also known as air freight, which uses airplane to ship your product to destination. The lead time is usually 7–10 days depending on the custom clearance. This is a fast shipping method and it’s a economical shipping method when your package is light and small in size. This is favored by many e-commerce business owners to ship their products to warehouse. If you are a FBA sellers in Australia, you can source products from China and ship them to the FBA center in Australia by this method.Ocean Freight:This is the most common shipping methods for large quantity and big and bulky merchandises. This is also the most common method for companies who import the products like Furniture, Apparel, Electric Appliances, Construction Material and etc to Australia. The express ocean cargo takes about 2 weeks to arrive the ports in Australia. The standard size of containers are usually 20 GP, 40 GP and 40 HQ. For example the shipping cost of a full 40 HQ from Guangzhou to Brisbane is about 1600 USD. It’s advised to work with a experienced China freight forwarder to get a good rate and serviceI hope this is helpful to you.Regards,KaiCEOChina sourcing— China sourcelink
