Will I be able to buy an item priced 550-600$ on xhs? (I’ve found some comment on this subreddit saying there’s a 250$ limit for purchases for foreigners) I did the name verification using my passport and am going to travel to Shanghai for 4 days and then to Beijing.
I’m also a little worried that I won’t receive my order while I’m in Shanghai (although they promise to ship within 2 days) and that my account will be blocked after ordering
It's better to have a backup plan just in case you don't get it. I saw ppl planned ordering items on Taobao and I have read several reports from people who planned to buy things on Taobao and pick them up at hotel in China, but it didn't work out. This is not an issue with shipping or delivery times, because deliveries are sometimes rejected by the hotel due to miscommunication.
you can place the order 1 week in advance and send to your hotel. the chance you don't get your parcel is minimum. i never heard anything like purchase limit for foreigners. if it's related to payment, paypal recently have cooperation with wechat pay, but it's only accessible to north america users at the moment.
So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!
Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.
Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
