It’s one of my favourite synthetic brushes.My father in law uses a crappy old Boots boar brush that is literally falling apart,so I decided to buy him a new brush for Christmas.
As it’s a present I decided to get something a bit more flashy, but he’s old so didn’t want to spend too much in case he dies soon(or didn’t like it), so thought a Yaqi Sagrada Familia would fit the bill nicely.
Logged into Aliexpress for the first time in ages and with all the discounts that applied I ended up paying the grand total, delivered, of £0.48. Nuts. How is that even possible?
It’s crazy, I know China Post is massively subsidised, but even if the postage from China is effectively free, how on Earth can they (Yaqi) be even breaking even selling something that I know is of reasonable quality for less than 50p? Or a fiver come to that. I know there’s economies of scale and shit wages and all that, but I can’t understand the rationale behind it.It’s one of my favourite synthetic brushes.
Think i paid £5
I think most of the Yaqi’s on aliexpress are seconds i’ve got a few and can’t see a thing wrong with them but yes it’s difficult to explain the pricingIt’s crazy, I know China Post is massively subsidised, but even if the postage from China is effectively free, how on Earth can they (Yaqi) be even breaking even selling something that I know is of reasonable quality for less than 50p?
