Alibaba Held A Group Wedding for Ali Day

Called as Ali Day, May 10 has been an official festival of Alibaba Group since 2005. Taobao.com, the biggest Chinese domestic retail trading website belonging to Alibaba, was also born on that day. In addition, it is an opening day of the company with various celebrations. Families and friends of the Alibaba staff including those of Aliexpress.com are invited to visit the company and to join the games or celebrations during the Ali Day. As a traditional part of that festival, a group wedding of Alibaba employees is held every year. This year, a super huge Alibaba group wedding with 688 couples-to-be is hosted in Hangzhou on May 9 to celebrate the special event.

Alibaba 2013 Group Wedding

Over half of the new Alibaba couples come from branches of the company located in Guangzhou, Qingdao, Shenyang, Beijing and more cities. Unlike the previous group weddings held by the firm, which have much less couples in terms of quantity, this one does not require the brides to wear formal wedding dresses. Instead, the brides can wear whatever they feel comfortable with and so can he grooms. As a result we saw various outfits donned by the brides and the grooms, including a couple wearing fan jerseys of Rolnado and Messi. This is really fun, isn’t it? Anyway, most brides choose a simple white dress (i.e. a mini wedding dress) to celebrate their wedding.

Jack Ma, the founder and the former CEO of Alibaba Group, was the chief witness of the wedding. He extended his blessings to the new couples at the wedding ceremony: “With the one-on-one customized service, marriage is the best customization model. I hope you will serve your spouse and your parents to the best. Wish you a happy marriage!”

What is a cocktail dress? What is the best site to buy cheap cocktail dress?

The Major Features of Cocktail Dresses

2013 Style One-shoulder Satin Cocktail Dress at LightintheboxA particularly good thing of owning a statement cocktail dress is: we can also style out in it for other occasions like birthday parties, dinner outs, family gatherings or holiday parties. That is why girls love to stock in as many cocktail type dresses (instead of prom dresses or evening dresses) as possible.

As a tradition, cocktail dresses are usually in calf- or knee-length with low cut and cleavage-showing tops. Satin is the most common material for tailoring a cocktail dress. Compared to formal dresses like evening dresses or prom dresses, cocktail dresses are more party or semi-formal types. Think of a typical little black dress – that is how a cocktail dress looks. Most cocktail dresses come in a darker color while some young ladies may prefer a brighter color. The coloring thing is not exactly a big deal as long as the wearer loves it.

Girls usually pair their cocktail dresses with high heels, which can make them look taller and more charming. On top of that, many love to wear something sparkling to enhance the whole cocktail outfit, e.g. fake jewelry like necklaces, bracelets or earrings. Luckily, we can find everything to wear that fits a cocktail party within one store, which is meant to save our time and energy. When you find an adorable cocktail dress, don’t forget to browse their shoes category, the purses category as well as the jewelry category.

The Top Chinese Store of Cheap Cocktail Dresses

The best (yes, I mean the best instead of one of the best) online store to purchase cheap cocktail dresses is definitely Lightinthebox.com. You can surely disagree with me as it is only my personal ranking. I have good reasons for why picking Lightinthebox.com as the most ideal place to shop for 2013 trendy cocktail dresses while there are tons of other reliable Chinese sites to find special occasion dresses (e.g. Milanoo.com, Dinodirect.com, Aliexpress.com, etc.)

Lightinthebox.com is an extremely popular Chinese e-commerce brand which has been building their name on the global fashion business stage for many years. They are best known for offering all kinds high-end special occasion dresses at affordable prices. They hire fashion designers and dressmakers to design and create dresses for their customers and for this reason, most of their formal or semi-formal dresses are custom-made based on customers’ exact sizes. As long as you provide the right sizes based on the sizing chart they indicated on the product page, the dresses you order with them will fit perfectly as you have expected. Also, the products you see at their site are finished products showcased by their own model and the pictures are taken by their own studio. That means the products will look very close to how they are described or displayed on the site so you don’t have to worry that there are huge differences between the real products and the pictures.

While these facts may be enough to assure you that you are buying stuff from a trusted site, they are not necessarily the key impetus why I believe they are a perfect destination to purchase made-in-China satin cocktail dresses. The fabulous styles are the real reason, to be fair. Just take a quick look at the styles of 2013 cocktail dresses available at Lightinthebox.com. Here are some of the best 2013 cocktail dresses newly arrived at the site:

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.

Norton Secured Report of Espow.com

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.

A Full Review of Sunsky-online.com

As people use any Chinese shopping websites for the first time, it is always a necessity to research Sunsky-online.com before you place the first order there. Then how should we get out of our way to do the research work most efficiently?

Deals on Samsung Galaxy S4 Accessories

Based on my knowledge and experience, the key part is to search the internet for and read the reviews of the company as much as you can. Blogs, forums, SNS communities and professional review platforms may help. Try using the terms like “Sunsky-online reviews”, “Sunsky-online scams ”, “Sunsky-online complaints” or “Sunsky-online rip offs” to get some related results so that you can learn a lot from the information posted by real customers or third-party reviewers. By encouraging you to use the terms, I didn’t mean to ask you to stay pessimistic about the China shopping site. Instead, I just want you to look at the worst sides of them first. If negative reviews against them are not a big deal for you in terms of quantity as well as detailed contents, then you should go for them.

At the same time, in practice, if you try to search the reviews of any other more reputable Chinese websites such as Lightinthebox.com via positive terms like “Lightinthebox good reviews”, you are unlikely to get any helpful results. While angry customers need to vent their unhappiness on the internet to ruin the reputation of a store, people who have a pleasant shopping experience rarely bother posting any reviews online.

Note that what you are reading ahead is a full review of Sunsky-online.com composed based on research. The information provided here is just for your reference only.

Company Background

Founded in 2001, Sunsky-online.com is another popular online retailer and wholesaler of electronic gadgets. The site belongs to the legitimate company Shenzhen SUNSKY Technology Limited while it is also a fully-owned subsidiary of EforChina Limited (read review of Eforchina.com) which operates a few factories of electronics of their owns.  Continue reading A Full Review of Sunsky-online.com

Knowledge about International Shipping Time and Shipping Costs for Holiday Sales

International Express Shipping Methods

The best thing of scooping up the holiday deals from Chinese stores is: you can always get the best stuff at the lowest prices. However, the time frame for international shipping may be a big concern for you, especially if you start the shopping only days ahead of the important holiday day or event. Don’t worry. The stores have their own ways to ensure that the holiday gifts or supplies you order with them will arrive in time. All you need to do is to read the product descriptions with shipping info carefully or to confirm with the service people on the time frame of the delivery.

Shipping from Western Local Warehouses

Many Chinese retail stores have warehouses based in Hong Kong, the UK or the USA. Generally, they choose to pre-stock some suitable products in the overseas warehouses to prepare for the grand promotions targeting a particular holiday or event. That way they can ensure that even when the holiday or event is just a few days left, local shoppers are able to get the deals on the gifts in time. Generally, their holiday deals will be closed by the deadline so that they have enough time for delivery.
