Well it may be rubbish for Farang, but for Thai market it works extremely well. Their mobile app is superior, they release money to the seller only after you confirm everything is ok with the order and their voucher program is more appealing. I have started using shopee food over grab now as I can get some incredible deals. The only problem is that unlike Lazada shopee does not accept foreign credit cards and I like collecting my points. However bigger savings more than make up for it,

No one killed 2 girls. The motorcycle was driving at ridiculous speed and slammed into a truck making a turn.

I have done it. I even registered as seller on shopee. You have to contact English speaking department through messaging app as they have special people who deal with foreign clients. You will need your passport and of course a Thai Bank account.

I don't think you understand and perhaps this is the reason why you got scammed and Lazada is not taking any responsibility, You did a transaction outside Lazada. You paid the seller directly, not Lazada. Hence he is not a Lazada seller.

If you buy from LazMall they will sometimes send it in their own branded box as it comes directly from the warehouse. Anyhoo, the op got scammed doing a transaction outside lazada. The "seller" used a Lazada box to seem more legitimate. Lazada will not cover this as it was done outside of their platform, something they warn about on their pages more than once.

Yes, confusing post. Not Lazada problem at all.

Always pay with a credit card. I always received a refund from Lazada, but frankly I never claimed one with a big ticket item. Sellers usually drop off the parcel at Lazada authorized pick up centers and there is no way you should not be able to track this or request a return from Lazada platform. Why didn't you just request a return? There is no need to chat with anyone, just upload the pics, select the reason for return and send the item back free of charge to the owner. I also sold a few items on Lazada and am very familiar with their return process. In all honesty it is actually better than Amazon.

Apartment vs condo. I know of no one who lives in a condo and pays non government rates, Serviced Apartments are a fair game IMO. More like hotels.

Very difficult. Expect to wait around 6 months or longer for a visa if approved. She will need references from work and proof of any property that she owns. Canada is extremely backlogged due to Afghanistan and Ukraine. I follow this closely as my wife is still waiting for ger PR that was supposed to take 6 months and turning into 2 years, It's the same with tourist visas.

From personal experience. Tried twice it worked. Last time it did not. They somehow checked my file and asked for new photos. This was at CW
