The premium product Will not be sent by Snapup directly, they said in the live that the retailer will handle the shipping direcly. Cause they have no stock and Snapup is the platform for win the product. But its great too, big retailers have good delivery services and can easily ship in few days. And with that Snapup doesn't need to manage stock, which is good cause its very expensive, they can invest more in the platform and partnership than in shipping and stock !
the shipping is important! if the shipping delay to long or damage the goods， it will also affect the platform!But if the shipping is done by professional retailers, shipping want take long.
When a product is damaged, there usually is warranty. So I hope SnapUp will only be taking products from professional retailers.
I think it is essential to work with professional retailers. If retailers is bad, snapup will become bad. If they are good snapup will be good. So it makes choosing retailers is very important.
I dont think that will be a problem as you said retailers these days don't have problem with delivery. Even shipping from China to Europe is generally without problems.
It is because of chinese goverments incentive for exports. If their economy politic change, it will change. At the end they are all retailers of alibaba, which is very professional retailer.
Alibaba is going to take over the market for sure. Chinese are desperately trying to hold on to their exports but I dont think they will be successful. Blockchain and cryptocurrencies are the future and SnapUp's unique identity will make a stand in the market soon.
Alibaba won't be that big. Shipment costs of their product (or warhouses cost) will be huge. In other cases you will be waiting for thei shipment 30-40 business days (Aliexpress standard delivery) SnapUp can easily takeover luxury market (who wouldn't want to get iPhone 7 for 50$?)
