Introducing Zlz.com: A Asia-based Online Boutique of Fashionable Clothing for Women

When I discovered the Chinese international online fashion store Zlz.com, I was instantly shocked by the three-letter-only domain name. Based on my experience, it is not easy to get such a short domain name for an online store unless they are very powerful in terms of investment capital.

I did more research on the company out of curiosity and found something that might interest those who want to shop there. Zlz.com was registered in 2000 while updated in January, 2013. Its current owner is a Chinese who leaves a US contact address though. This may mean the store purchased the domain name earlier this year for their online business, which also implies that the store should be quite young in terms of years of establishment.

It is nothing surprising to me as I am witnessing tons of new China-based online stores coming up to grab the market share every year. Besides, new stores may have some exclusive advantages to benefit customers as long as they are legitimate and really want to expand their business. For instance, they tend to offer worldwide free shipping and lower prices. When they grow up and become a widely known online shop, they might no longer provide free shipping service and will also raise the prices. Milanoo.com, another well-known online boutique like Zlz.com, is a typical example of this kind.

Super Big Sale On the Go: DHgate 9th Anniversary Promotions

Starting from August 12, 2013, the DHgate.com 9th anniversary sale will last through August 25. As a tradition, lots of rare deals will be released during this period to celebrate their birthday — it is definitely a super awesome money saving opportunity for buyers.

The DHgate 9th anniversary sale includes five major activities as follows:

Up to 80% off millions of products plus free shipping on select items;
90% off for Super Sale select items with hourly specials;
Freebie giveaways for VIP members;
Save 30% or more on top-selling Chinese brands;

See details here >>

Unlike the recently listed company Lightinthebox.com, DHgate.com is not a supplier selling products with its own warehouse; instead, it is a trading platform, providing service for both buyers and sellers. Registered sellers can build stores there and sell products through its online shopping system and registered buyers can buy what they want through the website under the payment escrow service offered by DHgate.com. The payment you made to the seller through its check out system will actually go to the official account of DHgate.com first. After the transaction is confirmed successful, the payment will be released to the seller. On the other hand, if a dispute happens, you should submit a dispute also through your DHgate account and do everything based on the DHgate dispute policies and guidelines. Then its resolution centre will take care of your case.

For this reason, shopping at websites like DHgate.com should use extreme caution and keep all evidence related to the transaction as much as possible, e.g. the communication record between you and the seller or photos of videos of how the item looks when you receive it. Risks exist but if you know the rules well before you place the order, everything will be just fine. Thinking that it is very likely to find the best deals on the products you want there, the site is highly worth a try.

DHgate.com: Another Good Place to Source Cheap Wholesale Made-in-China Watches

In my site I’ve introduced some good choices when it comes to buying cheap wholesale made-in-China watches, including Miniinthebox.com, Priceangels.com, Eforchina.com, Aliexpress.com, Banggood.com and more. Now I’m adding DHgate.com into my personal list of the best Chinese sites to source watches.

When you open the homepage of DHgate.com, you may notice that in the top navigation area above the banners, there are three exclusive accesses to the hottest categories or the best deals. Discounted watches or new style watches often appear in that area, which indicates that watches should be one of the best-selling products lines at the site. Based on my working experience at the e-commerce website, that area is very important and is one of the most commonly clicked sections of the whole home page.

It is not a secret that the shopping sites like to take advantage of the most eye-catching sections to place the hottest promotions. For instance, the big banner zone is always the focus of the homepage of any online store. The top navigation bar is another attention catcher and tends to receive a significant proportion of visitors. To achieve the best promotional results, the stores would choose the best deals or the top rated products (offered by premium sellers if the store is a transaction platform like DHgate.com) to fill the pages for the exclusive zones. Generally, the products showcased on such pages are more dependable in terms of quality and the sellers who offer the products have a higher customer rating.
