Parallel entrance. What is the difference between licensed cameras? Ask god for help

The main feature of parallel imports is not fake or defective products, but products whose legal sales area is inconsistent with the actual sales area. Due to the evasion of customs duties and formal agency, the prices of parallel imports are often very attractive, and the price difference of some lenses exceeds 1000 yuan. Due to insufficient crackdown on parallel imports, parallel imports in many places are often sold together with licensed products, but there is no guarantee for after-sales service. 0 1 parallel goods are not equal to inferior goods. Parallel imports are also qualified products produced by regular manufacturers, but they are not in the legal sales area when they are sold. Some parallel imports are even better than licensed ones because of different batches. The price advantage is obvious. Because of avoiding various charges and agents, the general price of parallel imports is obviously lower than that of licensed products. The difference between licensed goods and hundreds to thousands of dollars is the biggest advantage of parallel imports, and it is also the primary motivation for many consumers to buy parallel imports. There is no licensed identification mark. Because it is not purchased from a regular agent, there is generally no officially certified genuine mark on the packaging of parallel imports, and some seals and article numbers are obviously different from licensed products. Camera manufacturers with different appearance and licensed products may have different product models for the same product produced in different regions, which can often be detected at the first time on the outer packaging and camera model nameplate. A few years ago, some manufacturers' licensed products (such as Minolta) did not provide Chinese menu function. Almost all licensed cameras on the market now have Chinese settings. If you encounter all English or Japanese menus, they are basically parallel imports. There are differences in accessories. Sometimes products supplied to different regions will have differences in accessories, which may be reflected in the number of accessories or in specifications such as power plugs. Parallel imports with basic "store guarantee" are not guaranteed nationwide. Merchants often verbally guarantee a one-year "store guarantee", which means that if they encounter problems, they will send them back to the merchants and the merchants will repair them on their behalf. Generally, when buying parallel imports without formal invoices, merchants will issue receipts or maintenance certificates. Consumers generally can't get formal invoices. Advantages of licensed products Licensed products are products directly authorized by manufacturers and sold in a certain area. Banks or products need tariffs, and the channels are complex, and agents at all levels need to distribute a lot of profits, so the price is much higher than parallel imports. However, licensed products can get good after-sales service, and there are national warranty policies such as joint guarantee, which are incomparable to parallel imports. Because of this, many people say that the extra money for buying licensed goods is a warranty. The source of 0 1 is clear, and there are clear processes and regulations for licensed products from the factory to the general generation, to the regional agents and then to the distributors. With regular product sources and strict price control, quality problems will be well solved. The whole sales network of licensed products is perfect, forming a professional and reliable system from manufacturing to sales to maintenance. Every link is supervised by the corresponding regulatory authorities. The quality of goods is guaranteed. Generally, there are eye-catching genuine certification labels on the outer packaging of licensed products, which provide a website or telephone number that can check the authenticity of product serial numbers. Perfect after-sales service and good after-sales service are the rights that every consumer who buys licensed goods should enjoy. Licensed goods generally provide a one-year warranty service, and camera or lens problems that occur during normal use can generally be repaired free of charge. Quick maintenance: Canon, Nikon and other manufacturers have launched similar quick maintenance services in the past two years, so that genuine licensed users can get timely maintenance, and some users can also receive services such as picking up the machine at home. Generally, licensed Chinese menus and user manuals default to Chinese menus after startup, or support users to adjust to Chinese menus. Many parallel imports only have Japanese or English menus, which are cheap but inconvenient to use. The specifications of licensed products with good universality of accessories meet the local use conditions, especially the requirements of power supply will be consistent with local standards, and the use will be safer and more reliable.
