Online shopping smart locks are very convenient and very cheap, but the three big pit users must be vigilant!
Online shopping has become the most convenient and cost-effective way for young people to buy things. When they browse online stores, they often add items they like to their cart. At the end of the month, after receiving their salary, they pay for everything in one go, turning this into a daily habit.
Recognizing this trend, many merchants have launched unique shopping festivals tailored for Chinese consumers, such as "Double 11," "Double 12," and the upcoming "6·18" sale. These events are designed to attract customers with big discounts and promotions.
Despite the variety of shopping festivals, they all share one common goal: offering low prices to entice buyers. In the smart lock industry, some companies have even priced their products as low as 400 or 500 yuan to meet the demand for "good quality at a low price." However, this strategy raises concerns about product quality and reliability.
Industry insiders know that a certified smart lock typically costs at least 1,000 yuan at the factory, and when you factor in marketing, shipping, and distribution, the final retail price usually exceeds 2,000 yuan. Therefore, selling smart locks for just 400 or 500 yuan is not feasible without compromising on quality.
Many believe that if such products exist, there must be a market for them. But can smart locks below the industry average price truly be reliable? A user from Henan shared an experience that highlights the risks of buying cheap smart locks. He purchased a lock for 498 yuan, only to find it malfunctioning after a few days. When he tried to contact customer support, no one responded, leaving him stuck with a faulty product.
Similar issues have been reported by other users who bought smart locks for around 700 or 800 yuan. Some faced problems with unrecognizable fingerprints or malfunctioning mechanisms. After multiple failed attempts to resolve the issue with the manufacturer, they were left with no choice but to leave negative reviews.
One user described how the lock was installed incorrectly, leading to a door that wouldn't close properly. Another user found that the lock didn’t work at all, and the seller offered no real support. This shows that while the price may be tempting, poor service and installation can lead to major problems.
In many cases, the issues with smart locks aren’t always due to the product itself, but rather improper installation. Many low-cost brands lack proper installation teams. Instead, they rely on temporary installers, which can result in subpar work and difficulty with after-sales service.
Not all smart locks sold online are bad, but buyers need to be cautious. Avoid the following three pitfalls:
1. Don’t buy smart locks priced significantly below the industry average, especially those under 500 yuan.
2. Avoid unknown brands or ones you haven’t heard of before. Do your research and check reviews online.
3. Compare different brands before making a purchase. Choose those with good reputations and solid customer support.
As “Double 11†approaches, many smart lock companies are offering big discounts on e-commerce platforms. While these deals may seem attractive, they also come with risks. Fake or low-quality products can easily slip through the cracks.
To protect yourself, always buy from official brand stores or authorized third-party sellers. Pay attention not only to the price but also to the brand’s reputation, product quality, and after-sales service. Choosing a reliable smart lock ensures your home remains secure and your investment is worth it.
