I would like to add some extra information, to prove that above post is rubbish (I was shopping inside China):<p>- number of packages<p>Courier costs ~ 1.5USD, and on top of that, for 11-11 you need small amount to get it for free. As a result, I have around ~30 packages coming to me, from which 5-6 six are from Xiaomi. That&#x27;s thanks to free delivery, instead of preparing what I want and bundling shopping together I just got multiple packages - and orders.<p>Number of delivery people:<p>- for singles days there are horror stories of what&#x27;s happening in centers. Even thought it&#x27;s against the law (I think), guys are paid for number of delivered packages, so for workers it&#x27;s a gold time to work. Last year some of them were working 22 hours a day just to have a huge influx of cash<p>- Alibaba had tents inside office where people were sleeping. That one just for fun, not related to above :)<p>Overall, if his work related research is equal in quality to the one he had for this post, that&#x27;s a very nice sign of not to follow him.
