For those who just love to shop online, now is the best time of the year, because Nov 11, China’s Singles’ Day, will see some seemingly irrational discounts (疯狂打折), which was first started in 2010.        In 2014, Taobao, a major online shopping website, set a record of 57.1 billion yuan in sales on that day alone. The number of things it sold made the delivery services (快递行业) almost overloading (瘫痪). If you want to be a good buyer on the next Nov.11^th, here is some tips:

Select goods early and rationally (理性的)       

Put everything you want in the “shopping cart” to make a list of them. Then go through them carefully, getting away anything you do not really want.

Pay for it in advance.        

They may have already decided on a cheaper price for Nov 11^th and may even send the product to you in advance, which is a good way to avoid the heavy online traffic on the special day.           

It’s all about timing.       

According to Alipay (支付宝), there are several peak hours when online traffic is heavy. Try to avoid the following time: 12p.m～1:30a.m, 10～11a.m, 3～5p.m, and 8～10p.m.
