Online shopping home improvement gradually hot

Building materials, furniture, home furnishings, fabrics, home textiles... In recent years, the online home improvement market has gradually prospered, basically covering all aspects of home decoration, all kinds of home improvement materials and furniture can be found online. Mr. Wu, who works in a certain business district in the city, likes to buy online home improvement. When he renovated the new house, he scoured a series of goods on the Internet. The faucets, lamps, sinks, TVs, and even the bathroom cabinets were all purchased online.

"I roughly calculated an account. I bought almost 20,000 yuan of furniture and various accessories, almost 30% of the cost of the store, and the quality of many things is good." Mr. Wu said .

There are many people who buy furniture and home appliances through the Internet like Mr. Wu. Ms. Li from a community in Ruijin Road purchased a branded cabinet through the Internet. "It is the factory door-to-door, the price is 1,000 yuan cheaper than the physical store. If you feel that you are not satisfied with the goods, you can return it unconditionally. I think it is very convenient." Ms. Li said. The citizen Mr. Lin bought a certain brand outlet and switch of more than 800 yuan through the Internet. "If you buy it in a physical store, the price will be at least three or four hundred yuan." Mr. Lin said.

Analysis reason is cheap

According to Mr. Wu, there are now a wide variety of online shopping home improvement products. More importantly, the price of goods is cheaper than that of physical stores, and secondly, some goods stores can deliver goods to the door. "The price of furniture outside should be added to the cost of shop rent and labor. Online shopping will reduce this cost and the price will be more favorable." Mr. Wu said. The reporter found that many home improvement websites are mainly based on the market price. For example, a fabric three-seat sofa of a website, the price is 1899 yuan, the market price is 3099 yuan; the price of a certain brand TV of an electrical appliance mall is 8999 yuan, and the price in the store of Meishan City is 10999 yuan.

Because the price of online home improvement products is cheaper than physical stores, it is sought after by netizens. Some of the hot-selling furniture on the Internet sold more than 1,000 pieces a month. For example, a monthly sales of a single-seat sofa of 98 yuan reached 1890 pieces; a monthly sales volume of 5.7 yuan/square meter of self-adhesive wallpaper reached more than 3,500 pieces.

Online shopping is also troublesome

In recent years, with the increasing popularity of online shopping, online shopping services have also been improved, such as door-to-door delivery, 30-day maintenance, 7-day return service. Despite this, many buyers have found that online shopping will still encounter many problems.

Mr. Wu told reporters that he had encountered three types of troubles in online shopping of furniture and home appliances: First, many large-scale furniture costs are expensive, and they can't move for hundreds of yuan. In order to save money, he chooses logistics distribution. Since the logistics can not be delivered to the home, you must pick up the goods at the logistics point. After picking up the goods, you need to pay tens or even hundreds of dollars to transport the goods home. Secondly, some goods must be installed by themselves, and it is easy to appear during the installation process. Problems, such as the bathroom cabinet he bought online, the worker was installed separately, the cost is not cheap, there is still a problem during the installation process, because the position of the baffle and the hot and cold water pipe behind the bathroom cabinet does not match, and finally the corner of the baffle is sawn off. Only after a smooth ride; third, with bumps, returning is more troublesome. The table he bought online, he lost a piece of paint during the transportation process. Because the transportation cost is not cheap, the return procedure is troublesome, and it will be used.

Industry recommendations: shop around

Mr. Peng, an industry insider, said that although online shopping is convenient and affordable, there are certain risks. "Because consumers don't understand the products and the market, they may be deceived because of the small profits and small benefits given by the merchants. Sometimes they may buy old ones, or they may encounter the wrong situation." He said that not every piece of furniture is suitable for online shopping. Small items such as lamps, wallpapers, faucets, etc. are more suitable for online shopping, while large items such as sofas, beds, cabinets, etc., he suggests to go to the furniture square to experience the real thing and then choose. He suggested: "Before the online shopping, you can go to the brand store experience before you go online shopping. Before you buy online, you must first measure the size and then compare the products. Avoid online shopping, go home and find that it is not suitable for home decoration style, and the size is not suitable. And so on." Finally, Mr. Peng reminded: "Before ordering online shopping, you must shop around and choose the one with the most cost-effective."
