What are the advantages and disadvantages of traditional commerce and e-commerce?

The traditional business channels are: factory-general agent-provincial agent-city agent-wholesaler-retailer-consumer (some omit one or two or several of them). Because businesses in all links want to make money, commodity prices will rise. For example, a TV set that leaves the factory in 500 yuan may become 1000 yuan when it reaches consumers through various links.

The disadvantages of traditional commercial channels are: first, the price of products rises after passing through various middlemen; Second, the product circulation cycle is long, and it is prone to counterfeit and shoddy products; Third, it is prone to the problem of triangular debt;

E-commerce channels are realized: factory-network and logistics-consumer. Advantages: First, intermediate links are reduced, and product prices are generally lower than traditional businesses; Second, the product circulation cycle is short and the probability of counterfeit and shoddy products is low; Third, there are fewer problems with triangular debts. Disadvantages: because online transactions can only look at pictures and data, but can't look at the real thing in person, it is inevitable that the goods will be wrong.
