Matchesfashion official website now has a winter sale, with up to 50% off across the entire discount zone.
The China site includes tax in the price, with a fixed shipping fee of $15 for direct delivery.
Prices for items on the China site in the Asia-Pacific region are generally higher; you can switch and compare prices on the Macau, Hong Kong, etc. sites and then use forwarding.
Ordering Guide:
1. The website offers direct shipping, with varying shipping costs. For example, shipping to the US is free, while shipping to China costs $15 via DHL. If shipping directly to China, orders are usually delivered within 2-5 working days, arriving in about 10 days.
2. The website uses a DDP model, meaning customs duties are collected at checkout. The specific charges can be seen during payment, clearly including the product price, duties, consumption tax, etc.
3. The website displays different product prices based on the direct shipping address. The reasons for these price differences are varied; for example, a product may be on sale in some countries but not in others.
4. You can reduce costs by switching countries, choosing to ship to a different country and then forwarding it back to China—a reverse overseas shopping method. For instance, if product A is cheaper to ship directly to the US, with free shipping and low tax, I would order it to a US forwarding company and then have it forwarded back. It's more trouble, but it saves money.
Tips:
MatchesFashion is a UK luxury goods website with a very wide range of products, making it a great place to hunt for big brands. Its products have a price advantage that US e-commerce sites cannot match. Additionally, another advantage of European e-commerce is perfectly showcased on Matchesfashion: European e-commerce sites generally have more ample stock.
