Overall, I have had good experiences with Lazada and Shopee. My biggest complaint is they both have horrible search features. You can literally copy the heading of a listing post it as a search item and it will repeatedly come back as nothing found or totally unrelated items. I have found the return process to be fine. I have had some items not ship, some items arrive damaged, and in one case a totally different item was shipped. In each case I just click the return, get the return label and drop off at the mailing station. Now, you bring up a point that I do think both Lazada and Shopee need to do a better job of. In the USA on Amazon or Ebay if a party is selling counterfeit goods, or repeatedly has customer complaints, they are removed from being able to sell. Like you, I have had people selling counterfeit items, not responding to shipments not being sent etc., though I get my money back I too see them still listing items for sale. Lazada and Shopee are foolish not to take action to weed these people out. If shoppers grow to mistrust items on those sites they will stop or reduce their purchases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they can drop it at the security at our home (got shared security for 3 houses) otherwise i constantly have to have cash money and exact amounts its just a hassle. Plus with the lazada wallet now for foreigners one can receive the refunds easily and use them again. But I use lazada regularly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking from my own personal experience, checking the reputation of a seller doesn't help when Lazada refuses to publish reviews from other customers that mention counterfeit goods. I got landed with 10+ packets of counterfeit guitar strings from vendors with good ratings on Lazada. They claim to have a zero tolerance policy for counterfeit goods but, in reality, what they actually have is a zero tolerance policy for customer reviews that mention the counterfeit goods being sold on their website. quote from your post. "Always confusing to read posts from people who haven't had a problem with a certain platform and who seem to think this somehow nullifies the reports from those who have." My response.

Nor I - used to be able to use bank transfers as on Shopee but that was stopped long ago (although have not checked if started again). Have been using US credit card for last several years and credit for anything not shipped is quickly returned. I also find it a PIA to keep exact change handy. But now Lotus, not Tesco anymore, requires payment on delivery and not accept UnionPay so have to use cash again - but at least they can normally make change (have not tried US card). Tops still allows prepayment with US card. Edited May 9, 2021 by lopburi3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they do want a passport picture or something like that. But mine was activated within a day. Now if use the wallet i get led to a screen where i give my phone nr and then put in a code and the payment is send to my mobile bank app (kasikorn) where i pay. Its a little bit easier as paying direct by mobile app but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is your choice, personally i like the advantages a phone has. But many older people have a problem with it. They are just not as capable (technically) as the younger generation. Your remark about phone zombies is fun. Its just the younger generation before that things happened too. I used to commute in the bus most people were reading. But i get the point too much is never a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 It just continues - today cancel order for 3 of same item and receive 4 emails (order and each item in own email and a follow up is due for refund). 2 weeks ago it was an order for 10 of same item and 11 emails.

NE1 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I had a similar experience , I bought 3 packs of something from the same seller all the items were identical and inside were 2 items each , everything was the same , including the order number. I had a dispute and the seller would not return the money ( advertsised one brand , sent a different brand ) said regardless of the brand it was still the same. Lazada made 6 seperate refunds for this. So every time I replied or Lazada replied or the seller disputed anything there were 18 different e mails to contend with and to top it all off I received 36 messages on my phone . In the end they refunded the money as 6 individual orders . Edited May 10, 2021 by NE1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My average shipping cost is 27 Baht, but that may increase to 300 Baht when ordering a 20K flat screen. In fact, last month I had a 19.650 Baht order from China, and the shipping cost was 61 Baht, of which I got 30 Baht discount through a free shipping voucher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter where the item is sent from, only its destination does. IKEA doesn't even deliver at all to Pattani/Narathiwat/Yala. It's a "no delivery" zone for them, to my dismay.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
