1, depending on sales.
For most people, it is not easy to see the quality of moon cakes bought online. Only when you get the real thing can you determine whether you are satisfied with the moon cakes you bought, so you can only look for clues through the comments of other buyers. Before buying anything on Taobao, I always check which store this baby sells best in Taobao, and then go through the reviews of that store.
As for how to check the sales volume of Taobao, it is suggested to use the professional software "Taobao Ranking Tool", which can not only rank by sales volume, but also automatically rank by credit or price.
Step 2 look at the brand
As early as a few years ago, a number of mooncake online stores appeared on Taobao, specializing in selling cheap mooncakes and even homemade mooncakes. This kind of moon cake is affordable and has many styles. C2C merchants generally do not have a formal hygiene license, so homemade moon cakes are naturally a sham as a genuine fish.
Therefore, online shopping for moon cakes, whether in C2C or in a special moon cake sales website, is best to buy brand moon cakes, whether as gifts or for personal use, with quality assurance. Faced with a dazzling array of products, Bian Xiao reminded consumers that they can choose those businesses that have joined the "integrity protection" to ensure product quality.
Step 3 look at word of mouth
Buy moon cakes on Taobao. Taobao must carefully read the user's comments when buying moon cakes. Some stores claim to get ultra-low discounts, but the brand's moon cakes are generally not so profitable. Even dealers can only get a 20% discount. If you buy fake moon cakes for your friends because you are greedy, it is not worthwhile.
Now that many big brands have settled in Taobao, it is a good choice to go directly to their official Taobao store to buy.
Step 4 look at the time
Moon cakes are seasonal commodities. Usually, the production period of moon cakes is concentrated in one or two months near the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is generally not easy to expire. The shelf life marked on the mooncake package is 30 days, 3 months, or even half a year. The shelf life of mooncakes with the same taste is different.
However, the shelf life is not arbitrary. Before mass production of moon cakes, manufacturers will test the samples of each moon cake and count how long the moon cakes can be within the acceptable range of microbial indicators and physical and chemical indicators under normal environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. It takes 5-7 days to return oil after the moon cake is baked to taste the best. It is best to choose moon cakes that can be eaten in about 7 days.
Therefore, before buying moon cakes, you must carefully ask the merchants about the shelf life and production date of moon cakes, and never buy expired moon cakes.
