Users can also tune in to the Shopee app every day till 4 April for special in-app entertainment, as well as bigger and better deals from the largest array of sellers and brands.

“The Shopee 4.4 Mega Shopping Day is another first for Shopee and the industry, as we bring the excitement of the year-end shopping festivals earlier into the year. Building on the success of our 9.9 Super Shopping Day, which we pioneered in 2016, we have worked closely with our brands and sellers to bring our users even more joy and value throughout the year,” said Chris Feng, chief executive officer at Shopee.
