Crab coupon consumption suffers from "hidden rules"

It is just the golden season for crabs. This year's "paper crab" - crab vouchers compared to previous years can be described as "surge", but when using crab vouchers, consumers may encounter various "hidden rules", and often because of the crab vouchers Packages, not the crab vouchers that they purchased, "unclear what to buy," etc., caused loss and nowhere to complain or defend rights.

The case of "redemption" crab lost 200 yuan

Mr. Mao, who lives in Pudong New Area, is given a crab coupon this year. It is a plastic card similar to a bank card with the words “Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs” and “580”.

A few days ago, Mr. Mao took delivery, and the store caught 10 (5 male and 5 female) crabs worth 38 yuan each. Mr. Mao questioned: "I'm a 580 voucher. The 10 crabs you gave are priced at 380 yuan and 200 yuan, depending on your price. Isn't that short of two?" Replied: “You are the other person to send you this vouchers, 580 is a mark higher, look good, when the vouchers were confiscation when the money was confiscation, do not believe you ask the person who sent you a vouchers.” Mr. Mao is not The person who may ask the coupons had to carry 10 crabs worth 38 yuan to go home.

Analysis of crab coupons

According to monitoring by the Yangcheng Lake Hairy Crab Industry Association in Suzhou, sales of crab vouchers this year are "crazy in ten years," whether they are quantity or price. Regular crab traders usually mark “a couple of males and females and how much each crab weighs” on the crab vouchers, but some “crabs” of crab traders will “hit boring bags”, such as the crab vouchers that Mr. Mao got. In fact, it is for the crab trader to leave room for hands and feet.

Since the crab coupons are directly aimed at the gift-giving market, most of the customers buy units. Since crab vouchers are mostly "gift certificates," crab-buying people and crab-eating people are not the same person. Crab salesmen often use the following kinds of profit-making methods to sell crab vouchers:

Shoddy--reducing the size of the crab without the consumer knowing it. The hairy crabs are priced at two prices, one for each difference, and the price difference is more than one hundred yuan. In exchange for a crab, businesses can earn tens or even hundreds of dollars.

To be confused - Although the output of Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs reached the highest value of 2,200 tons in the past ten years this year, powerful companies often book most of them before the year. Ordinary consumers lack professional knowledge, even if they use other crabs to pretend to be Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, often without knowledge.

Close the door - there are individual crab brokers who do not have their own stores, there is no place to raise crabs, open a website, recruit several operators to start selling coupons. The model they use is usually: first find a store, talk to the boss and share it, let the boss recognize the ticket. However, after the crab coupons were sold, these brokerage firms "closed themselves."
