With Apple's hot, as if overnight, Chengdu, created a number of sales of Apple products "store." Earlier this month, Mr. Zhang consumers in the
south of the city a "Apple Store" within the spent 5,000 yuan to buy a iPad2 and original package. However, when he was found in the use of
staff placement to his SmartCover (smart cover) is always a bit Bulong, later identified by the industry, he spent the money to buy genuine kit is
actually "knockoff." How to buy cottage in the accessories store in it? It turned out that Mr. Zhang to the Apple store is not genuine licensed
stores, but a sign of Apple's own play, "Li Gui."
Apple Store experience, "Li Gui"
Reporters with Mr. Zhang entered the house he bought parts of this "Apple Store" and found this store is a completely authentic style of Apple
stores, "bite off a" high Apple logo suspended in the shop, which home store's sales staff has also repeatedly stressed here is the Apple store, the
store is authentic licensed for sale. Nonetheless, as Mr. Zhang took out that SmartCover, may be indefensible, not waste any more words, the
staff on the recognition that this is a "knockoff", and a genuine replacement for Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Chang's experience is not an isolated phenomenon, since Apple has become the best-selling IT products since its products are "cottage"
phenomenon has become more spread. Just hit Apple's suite cottage, many of the streets of Chengdu, "Apple stores" are not Apple Authorized,
consumers purchase products in these stores, how long one must be "eyes."
It is understood that there are 27 apples in Chengdu, all kinds of authorized dealers, including access to the only Apple authorized sales iPad2
Asia's six new stores, moving a cool store, Gome and Suning five stores. Apple says, in addition, to obtain the remaining stores were sold iPad2
authorization. According to the Apple dealer in Chengdu New Asia agent responsible person, in addition to currently authorized sales iPad2
Chengdu 12 authentic stores, all kinds of streets without an Apple-authorized stores also have a 10 to home, computer and communications city
stores Apple counters within the unauthorized even more. Moreover, some store decor and the style of an Apple-authorized stores are very
similar, which is obviously not a coincidence.
Attention to "knockoff" to more than eye
According to insiders, Apple has many fans because of its high prices make some packages business playing the evil idea to understand the
cottage products deceive consumers, in order to earn a high spread. To iPad2 most popular package SmartCover example, the genuine price of 298
-548 dollars, while the knockoff of the purchase price only 40 dollars or less.
It is understood that Apple authorized dealer for the sale of certain tasks, some regions of the authorized dealer for the completion of the task
will be to not own or different cities in the region downstream sub-goods business, which is not authorized to leave the store out of the
opportunity, so that these stores may sell genuine licensed in the machine, took the opportunity to reap high profits selling cottage suite. In
these unauthorized stores, the products, the supply itself is unstable, often licensed, parallel, genuine and "knockoff" doping, the consumer if
the product is not enough to understand, very gullible. Meanwhile, in the store to buy these products, consumers should note that not only
parts, if the unfortunate purchase of non-licensed iPad, iPhone, etc., once the product has quality problems will be a very cumbersome and even
difficult to resolve the matter. Apple for the products under very strict control, if not authentic licensed, do not provide warranty service center in
Chengdu, even if consumers do not pay a separate line. Even the mainland to get licensed to sell in Hong Kong (known as "Hong Kong Bank"),
once the product fails, the product can only be sent to Beijing or Shanghai, maintenance, time-consuming
