Hi to all Steemit members. Im Lenny aka Rain im new here and would like to welcome also new members like me. I am currently living in Japan, a place for cosplays, sushi, ramen and a lot more. Anyone here already visited Japan or is planning to go here please raise your hands and share your experiences and comments, it will be more appreciated!
Ok lets just go with our topic. And the big question is, Have you tried to buy online using your mobile apps?
We all know that technology is so fastmoving and every now and then being upgraded for users and buyers and online scams are everywhere. It's scary nowadays to just buy online because we dont know who are we dealing with, right? But since this is my very first blog i would like to share some of my experiences buying online using only apps.
I was working and was not satisfied with my monthly salary so i am always watching and searching Youtube videos to find something to do or some part time business to start. There are lots of ways to earn online, problem is of all the information i gathered it was difficult for me to choose what is best and suitable for me, have you experience that feeling? Then last year of October i make up my mind and started signing up for a POD site. Well at first i dont see result, then one day i got my first sale ever online, YES!! That was the best feeling ever! Then some months later i see small results but i would say atleast i have some sales. Still not satisfied very slow but im not losing hope.
Then i felt that i need to do some more. I want to try selling. I see lots of my friends on facebook selling items. But the question is where can i find supplier that will supply me items. That time i already knew aliexpress because of the shopify tutorial on Youtube. Im planning to buy items and sell it and create a Fan page and i need the items on hand. It was a trial for me and see what it goes. One day i was holding my phone and started downloading aliexpress.
I browse specific items what i want to sell and the price is a bit high if you were going to resell it. It never ended there i also downloaded alibaba to compare the price. A bit worry coz its a wholesale and i was thinking that i need to buy in bulk. But i was wrong. I already purchase some items there in pieces. I dont know what to do first. But in the alibaba apps if you downloaded it you will have the option of "Refine" wherein you can choose a Category, Supplier Location, Trade Assurance, Secure Payment,Gold Supplier, Assessed Suppliers and your MiniOrders choices. Instead of buying 100, 500, 1000 pieces or set by putting 1 in MiniOrders., alibaba will show you supplier who is willing to sell 1 item only. Just message or chat the supplier if they reply then great. Some suppliers take some time to respond.
Another apps i love about is the Wish app (thats my actual account). If you happen to use Wish on your phone to buy online please share your experience here, so you can help others too to decide. I never tried aliexpress yet but maybe soon. My second apps is Wish and everyday you visit their app they will give you Deal Dash Spin wheel wherein that day you will have a sale discounted products on your account depending the wheel pointed from 10, 20,50,75,100 or ?(question mark) items for sale on that day. I ordered and receive my items depending on the owner of the shop. I receive my items 1-2 weeks and some are 3-4 weeks. Because of low shipping charges the shipping takes time. But if you are willing to wait then Wish is a good app . You can also view reviews from buyers just like in aliexpress. Wish tracks the shipping process, customer support and they have a refund. This is my actual Wish account for proof. I receive my mini bag already earlier but the shades still on its way. Although i bought them same day. It really depends on the supplier mode of shipping . Some items came early and some takes time. But i still love Wish because of low shipping charges.
Another apps related to Wish but more of for women is the Cute app ( thats my actual account). Lots of variety for womens bags, necklace, wigs, lipsticks,blouses, all sort of make up and accessories. Some are mens stuff like cap,watches, necklace and bracelets etc.
These are some of my trusted apps to buy online and i hope this helps you to decide and use mobile shopping apps that is legit. Some apps buyers may have different views and perspective on the given apps i presented and i respect their opinions. If you already uses this apps on mobile or on your computer and you were satisfied or not please let us know and comment in a proper manner if you happen to be not satisfied with your previous buying experience.
There are lots of apps that are legit to use and still take your time to research and read reviews before buying any items. I am not saying this apps were the best but from my own experience. I apologized if you find something in wrong grammar or wrong sentence. Im not good in writing but i love sharing things. Until next time.
Hope everyone is having a great day!! Happy Shopping!
(PS. Im not affiliated to any of these apps. )
Those are my actual account on Wish and Cute, i am a real person =)
Great post @this-is-rain I am also looking at online sales and different apps, but I recently got sidetracked by Steemit. It's been a good thing as I have started writing. Something I've wanted to do, but have never been disciplined to do it.
