Taobao's experience in buying MacBook Pro made me understand how important it is to buy electronic products in formal channels.

# Taobao's experience of buying MacBook Pro made me understand how important it is to buy electronic products through formal channels.

The story begins.

As a developer (Cheng, I felt full of tears when I said this), MacBook Pro is probably the most satisfactory tool. Of course, as an aspiring handsome little white who just entered the development pit like me, Max is naturally a beautiful pursuit for me. Finally, after the struggle of blood and tears in my heart, I decided to dedicate three months' salary to Apple. Ps: I am secretly glad here. Fortunately, I don't have a girlfriend. Otherwise, how can I give up?

# Story foreshadowing

Then the goal is determined and the funds are ready. Then implement the plan and analyze it first. Of course, this once again proves to us how important it is to do a good demand analysis at the beginning of a project. It is precisely because of my mistakes in demand analysis that a series of tragedies have occurred.

* * Where can I buy it? **

! [cat or dog ](/mrmac/tmallOrJD.jpg)

The choice I face:

1. Apple bought it in official website, which is reliable and absolutely reliable (that is, expensive).

2.JD.COM, the price is moderate, and the quality of second-hand products is relatively reliable.

3. Tmall flagship store, the price is the same as JD.COM, the quality is reliable, but the popularity is poor.

But I chose another road of no return. Yes, I chose Taobao, which is called electronic product.

However, as a qualified programmer, I have made a careful study of feasibility analysis. I saw the website of Mrmac Mac Apple Group on the Internet, and thought that maybe both quality and price can be achieved. After all, the printed posts of this forum are so real, so I went to this Taobao shop to have a look, and the response was good and the sales volume was good. It's like seeing a bag on a sunny day. Well, that's it. I can't help screaming! ! ! Hey ~ hey ~ hey

* * Which one to buy? **

! [Apple Dafa is good] (/mrmac/macbook-pro.png)

So which one do you want to buy next? Of course, considering the performance requirements, it must be MacBook Pro.

Faced with new choices:

1.MacBook Pro 13？ Or MacBook Pro 15? . After analysis, 13 inch memory is a bit stiff. If you choose 13 inch, you may want to buy 16G custom memory. So after analyzing the price, size and so on, 15 inch.

2. New version or old version? Apple's press conference is just around the corner. The new edition is the biggest update in four years. What touch function bar? Thanks to the latest CPU, it is more beautiful and thinner, and the performance of the graphics card is worse. The temptation is not small. For me, I can't afford this kind of teasing!

Well, then it's decided. When Apple comes out, if the new version looks good, we can consider it. If not, we can go back and marry the old version. After the new version comes out, the old version will definitely be on sale, and the cost performance will definitely be better. I can't help admiring my wit.

The story begins.

Then sit and wait for the Apple conference! I just woke up on the morning of 28th, so I couldn't help taking out my mobile phone to watch the news of the conference. How can I shush and see what changes have taken place in the new model? The CPU is not the latest model (it's a small pit, you know, Apple will have a new conference after the New Year), and the function bar is beautiful, lighter and more beautiful, and overall it is good. Although everyone has high expectations for Apple, they can't expect too much (I still understand Apple in my heart).

What? Fuck! What is the price? How much has the price of the same model increased? And the low match of 15 inch? Holy shit! Cook, your teasing! Are you fucking kidding? The new model is rubbish, with so many pits! Think about how many accessories you want to buy. Think about the maintenance of the function bar? In the case that SSD production capacity is gradually increasing and hardware costs are falling overall, you actually raise prices! Price increase! Still rising so much!

Who's up there? Why is it uncivilized? what are you reading? Definitely not me! Ok, buy an old MacBook Pro. Why buy old ones when new ones come out? I like the old one. Bite me! Come on, hurt each other (well, I admit, as a qualified poor cock, I can't afford a new model)!

Ok, go to Taobao to place an order as planned! I was forced to leave, and the price of the old model went up, even up! It has risen by five or six hundred! The change of the overnight press conference, if you are cruel, go up, after all, it is not too much. Ok, I officially placed an order. After placing the order, I was told that it was out of stock until tomorrow. Let's do it tomorrow. Don't worry that day, get the money ready for payment in the afternoon, lest you have to sleep again tomorrow.

# The tragedy begins.

# # # I was naive in the dark for the first time.

After a happy day, I found that the price had gone up again, and I couldn't help admiring my prescient name. On the third morning, I found that the order had not arrived yet! What the hell? We agree to deliver the goods the next day. It's the third day. Why don't we deliver? I got this answer from Mike's customer service:

! [Silly, cheated for the first time] (/mrmac/diqipian.png)

Well, the new products are not satisfactory, and everyone chooses to buy the old ones. It is normal that the supply is insufficient. Besides, the boss said it was so pathetic that it didn't matter if he waited. The boss is so sincere, how can he be willing to hurt his old man's house?

# # # The second time I began to feel uneasy.

After 7 pm, I looked at the order and there was still no sign of delivery. At this time, I always feel that something is wrong. At this time, I was wondering if the price has increased again (it increased by about 500 when I paid, and then it rose to more than 1000). The boss doesn't want to deliver the goods to me. Ask the boss again:

! [Am I too naive or are you too cruel] (/mrmac/dscqp2.png)

Maybe I am naive, or maybe an old driver like the seller is too deep. I was hurt by it again, and this time the seller delayed the delivery time by one week. Because it is the first time to buy a MacBook Pro, I am also convinced of the comments and print orders on the MrMac website. In the process of purchasing the website of Mac Apple Group, the merchants have always made a formal statement: * * As the daily quotation fluctuates, the price is subject to the order price. * * At this time, I had doubts in my heart, but at first I supported them with trust.

# # # Check the comments for clues.

Anyone familiar with MrMac knows that this merchant has two Taobao stores (at first I didn't understand why they opened two stores, but later I found out that mrmac was a store, because this store was closed by Taobao after consumers reported violating the trading rules, and another store was opened as a backup when applying for restoring the store). In the comments, I asked Mac if Apple Group had placed an order these days. Upon inquiry, in the latest comments, it is proved that the merchant completed the order of the same model during the delay in delivery. Finally, my guess was finally confirmed in * * store after-sales evaluation * *:

! [Two equally deceived people woke me up] (/mrmac/jvbao.png)

This is a warning from two people who have the same experience as me at the same time. In fact, I learned later that these two netizens are rare and valuable. In these two comments, if you read them carefully, you will find that the second person didn't wake up until he saw the first comment.

* * At the same time, I learned the routine of the store from the second comment: * *

& gt I ordered a high-end version of the MacBook Pro T2 in this store, and this netizen ordered Q2. During the time when the store delayed delivery on the grounds of shortage, careful netizens can see from the screenshot I sent last time that during this period, the store not only advised me to change Q2, but also claimed that Q2 was available. If I change Q2 now, I need to make a current quotation. At the same time, it can be seen from this netizen's comments that the store has been persuading him to change T2, saying that T2 is in stock, but it is also the price after the price increase when necessary.

Of course, it is unfair that you can't kill the store with a stick just from the messages of two netizens, so I used my friend's Taobao number to ask if the store has any stock, and the reply was this:

! [Mrmac reveals the deception of mac Apple Group] (/mrmac/caichuanhuangyan.png)

! [Mrmac Exposes Apple Group Deception 2] (/Mr MAC/caicuanghuayan2.png)

As can be seen from the screenshot of the conversation here, the store does have goods. At the same time, I'm afraid this is the store's rhetoric to let users place orders first. I'll just say that I'm a user in Beijing and I'm going to mention it in their actual sales office. The store also agreed without hesitation. Here I think it has fully explained the cheating behavior of the store.

# Final showdown

Of course, I already know the truth, and there is nothing to say. In the face of such a store, I can only choose a refund. So I chose a refund.

* * Punishment measures for Taobao's failure to deliver goods on time * *

! [Measures to punish Taobao for not delivering goods on time] (/mrmac/tbcf.png)

& gt Here's a popular science lesson for everyone. I think everyone will understand the punishment measures for Taobao's failure to deliver goods on time from the screenshot above.

& gt For example, you bought a product with a value of 1 10,000 to 20,000 in Taobao shop, and the seller promised you to deliver it on the same day, but the price of the product has gone up or it is out of stock at all, and you haven't delivered it for a month. At this time, you choose a refund and complain to the seller. This complaint was read by the seller first. If the seller admits to breaking the law, he will pay you the highest compensation, 30 yuan, and Taobao will not give you any punishment.

& gt* * From the illegal handling of Taobao, I remind you once again that it is better to choose other channels to buy precious commodities, electronic products and other commodities. At the same time, everyone may suddenly realize why Taobao's water is so deep that fakes are born. Strictly speaking, this is a problem of Taobao's own mechanism, and it is also the result of Taobao conniving at sellers.

The following is a screenshot of my chat with Mac Apple sellers when I finally got the refund:

! [Shopkeeper admits cheating to buy off consumers] (/mrmac/zuih2.png)

As can be seen from the above two screenshots, the cheating behavior of mrmac Mac Apple Group has been admitted. At the same time, I also wonder how deep the routine of this store is. In order not to damage the false reputation, the store paid a certain amount to keep consumers quiet. In fact, if you think about a store, no matter how perfect the goods are, there will always be imperfections in the eyes of all kinds of buyers, not to mention the goods purchased. How can there be few bad reviews in the comments? If no one has a bad review, there must be something fishy in it.

Finally, one day after I applied for a refund, my order was successfully refunded. At the same time, I also initiated a complaint to Taobao, and the store received the complaint very quickly at this time (if the store does not accept the complaint within a certain period of time, Taobao will intervene in the dispute and will punish the store with points). In fact, as you can imagine, I didn't report it for a fine of 30 yuan. If that's the case, I can totally accept the store's 100 multivariate sealing fee. I can leave a message to comment on the order, so that the complaint can be successful. Now, let's go to the red shop of Mike Apple Group to find out.

# # End

In fact, when writing this blog post, I was also very entangled, whether I should write it or not. The reasons for entanglement are as follows:

* ** 1, first of all, I must be scolded. It is more certain to be scolded in the face of a shop like Mike Apple Group. **

As all my friends know, the Mac Apple Group has many fans. Actually, it's easy to understand. Commodities like apples are very expensive in China, and there are corresponding channels to buy them at low prices. Netizens must be grateful and loyal to Dade. In addition, for netizens, their successful purchase once means that the world is at peace, because they have succeeded in purchasing, and those who have not caught up with the purchase are indifferent to them.

* **2. Second, many people will definitely think that I am in the black MrMac Mac Apple group. **

I thought about it, and I'll explain it here. I didn't hack it mindlessly, and I didn't adulterate it with any falsehood. The evil screenshot above can explain everything. I'm just here to tell you about my experience of being cheated this time, to give you a warning and a reference when you want to consider choosing this one. Of course, I can't measure the probability that MrMac stores cheat consumers. I gave you a screenshot here, which they inadvertently told me when chatting with customer service:

! [Number of people cheated in the same batch as me ](/mrmac/sprs.png)

* **3. Third, I only know the cheating behavior of Mrmac Apple Group. Why should I write it * *

For myself, I don't need to write this article. On the one hand, I can accept the compensation from the seller and reduce the loss. On the other hand, even if I don't accept compensation, I don't need to write an article to' black' me. At the same time, it doesn't matter to me that people who don't believe in you are cheated again, and people who believe in me may not all believe in me.

I thought about it for two days and decided to write it for two reasons: 1. I am angry at Mr. Mike's behavior. However, if the seller told me at the beginning that the original order could not be delivered normally due to the price increase of the goods, I could accept it and compare it with others. The higher the purchase price, the higher the cost. There is nothing wrong with the store saying this. However, in the project that cheated me to delay delivery, the merchant kept saying that it was out of stock, and had ordered and urged a batch of new goods from the general agent. When the goods arrived, they would definitely deliver them to me. In a week's time, now I think the store relies on my trust in them to play me like a fool. This feeling of being played is very bad. I know I was cheated by two just netizens. I should at least state the event like them. Give the follow-up people a certain warning.

# # * * Programmer's Choice after Plan Failure * *

I am an ambitious and handsome programmer. At that time, I had a wonderful dream of developing on MacBook Pro, and made a detailed plan for this dream. However, the project failed because the developer failed to complete the project according to the time limit. On the one hand, I have to spit out Cook again. The new version has too many pits and the price has increased. Code farmers like me are really powerless to resist. Finally, I decided to use Xiaohei as a buffer first, and wait for the new version next year, hehe.
