Early in the morning of 21st, a tweet entitled “the original sky umbrella can be repaired free of charge” hit the top of the heat search。
Netizens post that “hangzhou coordinates, the tip of the umbrella shelf drops, fixes the umbrella in three minutes, free of charge! If you can't fix it, you can change it for a few bucks at most.”
In response, some netizens said that they “had actually done it”; others questioned “is it true”。
In the afternoon, the tide journalists arrived at the heaven's umbrella maintenance point on the middle road to nation-building。
The personnel involved in the umbrellas have told the journalists that the umbrellas have been maintained for half a century since their establishment in 1984 and have been maintained since then. Hangzhou currently has two repair points, one of which is located at 72 midway. The other is the distribution office in front of the west creek boulevard, where it will take some time to repair the umbrella。
According to staff, in recent years, most of the heaven umbrella stores have been converted to online sales, and the real store has been reduced by a large part.” in general, the peak of the umbrella can be maintained at the site of the building of the state centre road, close to the rainy season and between july and september, at about 70 and 80 units a day. Many buyers across the country also send their umbrellas to hangzhou for repairs. Usually, where accessories are available, umbrellas and handles can be replaced free of charge, which is so broken that they are not, we replace old ones with old ones at a very generous price in return for a lifetime maintenance.”
Staff cautioned that one thing that needed to be corrected was that the sky umbrella was not free maintenance for life and that, generally speaking, products purchased for one year were free maintenance. The 20 to 30-year-old umbrella parts need to be upgraded and cannot be repaired free of charge for life. In the absence of accessories, customers can spend $5 or $8 in exchange for old ones。
Journalists have found that the majority of umbrella repairs come from older persons, many of whom say they are not aware of the fact that they are first in the news of free maintenance of the umbrella。
They told journalists that the older hangzhou people generally knew that the sky umbrella service was free of charge. A master told the press that it had been more than a decade since his umbrella had been built, and that it was a special day to fix it after lunch, so that there would not be too many queues. Another woman said that the service was particularly good and humane。
