There are about 3 million Chinese Singaporeans (74% of the population; Chinese are the majority ethnic group). Singapore is a country where Chinese make up the absolute majority (74%), and Chinese (Mandarin) is one of the official languages. Although there are many Chinese supermarkets (e.g., Sheng Siong, NTUC FairPrice), Taobao and Pinduoduo are extremely popular in Singapore, and almost every Chinese Singaporean has experience shopping on Taobao. Due to the high cost of living in Singapore, shopping from China via consolidation can significantly save money.
De Wu (formerly known as "Poison") is a leading trendy e-commerce platform in China, focusing on sneaker and streetwear trading. All items are shipped only after multiple professional authentications, making it the go-to platform for sneaker enthusiasts. De Wu's core advantage is its professional authentication—each item goes through AI initial screening, professional authenticator re-verification, and other processes to ensure 100% authenticity. The platform issues authentication certificates and anti-counterfeit tags. For overseas fashion enthusiasts, De Wu is the best channel to purchase China-exclusive and China-released sneakers/streetwear.
Platform Features of Dewu Consolidation Shipping
Dewu (Poizon): The Top Choice for Sneakers and Streetwear
Dewu (formerly known as "Poison", English name Poizon) is China's largest streetwear trading platform, starting with sneaker authentication and trading, and now expanding to streetwear brands, watches, collectibles, etc. For overseas streetwear enthusiasts, Dewu's core value:
- Authenticity Authentication:All products are verified by Dewu's authentication team before shipping, with a very low counterfeit rate (this is Dewu's biggest selling point).
- Sneaker Price Advantage:China-exclusive colorways and Asia-only released sneakers purchased on Dewu and then consolidated shipped overseas are often 30%-50% cheaper than overseas channels.
- Streetwear Discounts:Some streetwear brands (such as Li-Ning, Anta high-end lines) have much lower prices in the Chinese market than overseas retail prices.
Special Considerations for Dewu Consolidation Shipping
- Keep the Shoebox:Dewu products usually come with an authentication certificate and anti-counterfeit tag. It is recommended to keep the shoebox and authentication label—these serve as proof of authenticity and have collectible value. If you are sure you don't need the shoebox, removing it can save a lot of volumetric weight.
- Longer Shipping Cycle:Dewu uses a "seller ships → Dewu authenticates → buyer receives" model, which typically takes 3-5 days from order to dispatch, slower than Taobao/JD.
- Return/Exchange Restrictions:Return and exchange policies for authenticated products are relatively strict. It is recommended to confirm the size before ordering.
- Sneaker Declaration:Branded sneakers (Nike, Adidas, Jordan, etc.) usually have high value. Declare the brand and value truthfully, and keep Dewu order screenshots for reference.
