A Free Detailed Review of Espow.com

Consumer Electronic Store Espow.com

I like the website style of Espow.com as it is imbued with a business tone, making it look extraordinarily professional.

The first time I ran with the shopping website Espow.com, I had a feeling that it is backed by a Chinese team instead of an overseas one though they are trying to make visitors convinced that they are Western. According to their statements indicated at the website, they have three warehouses based in New Jersey of US, London of UK and Hong Kong and their contact phone numbers are all nothing about a Chinese identity. To figure out whether my instinct is telling me the truth about the company ownership, I did some research out of my way. If you are interested in the online store, please read ahead the free detailed review of Espow.com.

Company Identity

I got some helpful information from the Norton Secured sign showcased at Espow.com. Based on the verification report, this website belongs to Billion Bright International Trading Limited, a Hong Kong-based company. This pretty much proves that Espow.com should be a HK register business entity. However, the weird thing is: I also found that two stores under the same company name listed at Alibaba.com and Hktdc.com are offering totally different products from what Espow.com is selling. While the Alibaba store and the HKTDC store are both selling stuff like wires or cables, the Espow is selling a variety of consumer electronics including Apple accessories, cell phones, computers, car electronics and much more. This makes it complicated for me to identify the real ownership of the website. Nevertheless, considering that it is nothing strange when the same trading company runs different shopping websites targeting different categories, we can not say Espow.com is not a legitimate shopping site.

Then, I tried to search more information on the website by using a Chinese search engine and this time, I am pretty sure my feeling did not lie. From the company recruitment ads posted online, I got to know that Espow.com is actually headquartered in Shenzhen, just like many other famous consumer electronic online stores such as Focalprice.com, Priceangels.com, Ahappydeal.com or Tmart.com.

Now let’s make a brief conclusion of the identity of Espow.com: it is a Hong Kong registered electronic gadget trading company with head offices based in Shenzhen, China and warehouses located in Hong Kong, the United States and the UK.

Sorting Chinese International Shopping Sites by Business Model

Chinese international shopping websites can be sorted by whether they sell products or offer services. The former is the traditional business model and is more widely adopted by Chinese merchants while the latter is getting more and more popular these years.

Type 1: Sites = Suppliers

Sites offering products to customers with their own warehouses are the most common in terms of quantity. Such sites have their own product sourcing teams, product management teams, pre-sales teams and after-sales teams and marketing teams and handle orders by their internal staff instead of manufacturers or suppliers cooperated with them.

Generally, this type of stores focuses on a rather limited number of product categories. For instance, some mainly sell fashion and accessories, some offer electronics while some others may be famous for toys, home and garden supplies, car parts and accessories, lighting supplies, luggage and bags, jewelry and watches or any other field(s). These professional stores may also carry some minor categories other than their major ones. For instance, as a store well-known for women’s fashion, Lightinthebox.com also sells a variety of electronic gadgets like tablet PCs & accessories, cell phones & accessories or car electronics. Here is a short list of the most popular Chinese online shops that fall into this type:

At the same time, there are a small number of Chinese shopping malls that cover a broad range of categories. Anyway, the really strong ones of this type are very rare in the Chinese cross-border trade arena. So far I personally only know Dinodirect.com is doing a good job in this area. The site have several warehouses around the world and the major one is based in Shenzhen, China. Let’s just take a look at what they are offering: men’s clothing, women’s clothing, tablet PCs, Android phones, flashlights, handheld game consoles, OBD2 & diagnostic tools, iPhone accessories, baby, cameras & camcorders, car & motorcycle accessories, computers & networking, cool gadgets, security & surveillance, electronics, gifts & holiday supplies, health & beauty, home & garden, jewelry & watches, novelties, office supplies, sporting goods, toys & hobbies, video games and books.
