One of them told me customers in China want to see her live the whole process, from home drive to supermarket, take A2 IF from shelf, go to distribution to put IF in parcel, etc. Chinese customers want to see every step to ensure the products they buy are real.
So we reside here and we don't want to do such hard job. But travellers come and buy IF for their family and friends, and students may have more time to do daigou and earn extra money.
Actually A2M is not the only one to blame Covid has huge impact on daigou. Other dairy companies have similar experience.
