Lazada
I am confused by the Lazada web site. I see what seems to me the same item with the same extras listed many times with different prices. Am I missing something here? Can any of the frequent Lazada users explain?

Re: Lazada
Charlieb, you're absolutely correct. The difference in price is because they are coming from different vendors who sell the same products through Lazada. So, if you see something you like then I suggest you keep scrolling down the page looking for the best price from another vendor.Charlieb wrote:I am confused by the Lazada web site.

Colossians 2:8-10...See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily; and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power.
Re: Lazada
CORRECT Lazada , Alibaba, Amazon are operating in a similar manner. They are the windows on a multitude of shops. So you could end up with 2-3 shops selling the same item at different prices. Lazada will indicate who is the seller ( see below ). One important point to check is the warranty offered by every sellers since they might greatly differ. So should you order let s say 3 different items from Lazada supplied by 3 different sellers you would then get 3 different deliveries.
Have a nice day

Re: Lazada
Well pointed out. Not exactly fine print, but you do need to read all when doing your online shopping. I'm hooked myself. Banggood, ebay, Lazada and AliExpress as a last resort. Lazada if price match, as faster delivery, less than a week and most things COD . Banggood and ebay have been about 10 days or less lately =D> where previous, shy of a month was normal..... AND importantly PayPal......seem to get something on average of once a week
Rarely a problem, and always sorted w/ BG ebay LAZ. Can't say the same with AliExpress, 2 not so happy experiences with them.
I also avoid any vendor selling / shipping via DHL, especially if expensive item or heavy / large, as guaranteed a slight delay and customs duty. Even if shipping is free, I avoid. To top it off, DHL doesn't even deliver here, they pass it to the postal system, so what are you paying for......except to get screwed w/duty.

Re: Lazada
I noticed something new on my last order from Lazada.This appeared at the bottom of my email order confirmation. This item was being shipped from China. This notice gave me some relief from being anxious about being ripped off by customs.

• Fully covered by Lazada’s T&Cs and specificOverseas Product T&Cs.
• You do not need to pay any duties. If asked to, please call Lazada immediately. If you have already paid duties, send us proof of payment for reimbursement.

Re: Lazada
THANKS......Nice to know, and didn't notice on my most recent order.
Re: Lazada
Thanks for the shopping lesson
Re: Lazada
How do you avoid customs and other fees when ordering from Amazon, E-Bay, etc.?
Re: Lazada
I believe I read on Amazons website that they cover the customs duty costs. It's included in the shipping, which is why their shipping cost to Thailand is so expensive.
With Ebay your often dealing with small sellers. If you want to stay under customs radar, I think the value limit for paying duty is 1,000 baht.
Heres the rules:

Note: From my limited experience, Customs seems to always look at FedEx/UPS shipments. Regular un-registered air mail seems to not be checked as much.

Re: Lazada
The information shared above is most illuminating as I have never tried buying online, but feel that Lazada is the way forward, as no financial dealings on line ( security concerns ). So with all the information as stated posted I feel more comfortable. Thanks

Re: Lazada
I have one credit card (with a low limit) that I use for on-line purchases. I've never had a problem with it, but doesn't mean it couldn't happen.Khun Paul wrote: financial dealings on line ( security concerns ).
The one time that I did have a problem was with another credit card that I used exclusively at restaurant's and hotels during my last visit to the US. About a month after my return I checked my on-line statement and found a on-line purchase that I didn't make. I contacted the company (e-mail) where the purchase was made and they responded with what was bought, the address it was sent to and the e-mail address that was used (which was a Hotmail account set up in my name, but not mine!) I forwarded this information to my credit card company and they reversed the charges.
So the lesson I learned is to always check my credit card statements frequently.
Also, some credit cards websites now have on-line security feature that allow you to set purchase limits, have a automatic e-mail sent to you when your card is used, or turn the card off from making any purchases until you turn it back on.
UFF DA!
Re: Lazada
You should also look, if item is new, used or refurbished. Lazada has all of those and you can exclude those from search result using filters on left or you own head. If price is half of the price of the other similar products, it can not be a brand new one.Charlieb wrote:I am confused by the Lazada web site.

Re: Lazada
My wife and I have used Lazada on several occasions, paying, COD. No problems, except with an exercise bicycle, now collected for repair/replacement. I think everything we've had is ex-China, including the bicycle, a large trampoline, bedding. Oh, did have some add-on for the trampoline delivery, because a bulky item.
Re: Lazada
Just had an Email from Lazada
"We are sorry to inform you that the item(s) from Order #325209420725002 as listed in Order Details below has been cancelled due to errors occurred with this order.
We understand that it is dissapointing for your item to be cancelled. We truly apologize and hope that you can find other products on Lazada. Thank you for your understanding on this matter.
If you have already paid for the items, please rest assured that your refund is now being processed.You will receive an email within 24 hours to notify when it has been issued."
I waited everyday in excitement for my Tablet. I am so sad!
Had another delivery not appear. tracked it, said already delivered! The signature, shows a "Tick"
Next day it gets delivered! Strange!

Re: Lazada
Had the same message last week for an item I ordered. That's why I will only ever do COD. All in all Lazada provide a great service.

Re: Lazada
They don't leave notes, leave it with neighbors (unless you advise then to), offer to do re-delivery or send emails; that's all sort of amazon and UPS. In my experience, they call at least twice before delivery. The first time the day before to say it's coming, then the morning of delivery to say it's in a van so make sure someone's at home and finally the delivery guy calls to confirm the address or ask for directions.stattointhailand wrote: ↑September 29, 2020, 8:20 amJust had my first ever experience of Lazada ................

Having said that, they do have a few newer courier/delivery companies on their roster now so it is possible they cocked it up.
Did you keep tabs via the tracking number?
Was it COD or had you pre-paid?
