E-commerce sites Taobao and Tmall，which saw a combined $1 trillion in sales in 2012，will both be running promotional campaigns during China's Singles' Day. Among the offers：50 percent discounts on products like boyfriend body pillows and hoodies that read "I am single because I am fat." declared that the site would sell "20，000 products discounted by as much as 90 percent."

The holiday strains the logistics system：Products frequently sell out or arrive late. Even when everything moves smoothly，consumers complain about commercial gimmicks. According to the Beijing Evening News，a popular local paper，some online retailers quietly raise prices before slashing them.

光棍节期间物流系统往往问题百出：商品常常已经断货或者送货延期。就算物流系统一切正常，网购公司的销售猫腻也常常引起消费者不满。根据北京一家知名报刊《北京晚报》报道，许多在线零售商都会先抬高商品价格，然后再鼓吹降价销售。

追其根本为什么网购这么火。除了以上的原因，还有一点非常值得讨论，那就是国内物价，在双十一狂欢购物节上，发生盲目购买行为的另一个原因是在心里产生了如果不买就要再等一年的观念，这就从侧面反映了物价的过高。在美国，尽管生活成本高，但是他们的基本工资要普遍高于国内，并且物价低廉。这也可以解释为什么美国的全美购物要比中国低那
