Oh wait, they can't trust eachother, well they'll pay the price for that now. Yes there's the lazada which is very complicated and thinks we're stupid with their 40-50% discount ALL THE TIME...That's such an old trick... "Yes there's the lazada which is very complicated...." I may be wrong but I think Alibaba has a controlling interest in lazada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i google (yes GOOGLE) for a product it comes up with loads of hits from alibaba, aliexpress which are from china....But Google wasn't allowed to start in China that's why alibaba grew so well. I wished there was an extension for Chrome so i wouldn't see any ad's from China when i search for something. I can't even buy from them cause i use paypal and don't want any other system for online payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExpatOilWorker Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Commercial boots are marching into Thailand from China. They are building a regional outlet for Chinese products in Bang Na. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much what happened, the Chinese prevented US from operating there and did their own copies. The sad part is US consumers then started buying from these copies and handed the keys to the world to the commies. Reagan must be spinning in his grave fast enough to produce gigawatts of energy.

Classic Ray Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Let’s hope the countries receiving Thailand’s e-commerce exports don’t impose the same rapacious customs duty on anything coming into Thailand. Also have you tried ordering anything from Amazon after their big announcement, I can’t find one product that any supplier will deliver to Thailand, in spite of the fact most of it comes from China Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Oh dear !!.... more AliExpress goods, parcels to get bonded, racketed and held up by Thai Customs....or to be "lost" or mishandled by the Thai postal service, depending on which area you are..... consumer e-commerce import logistics still have a long, long, long, long way to learn and go in chauvinistic Thailand....

Thailand post is to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Lazada belongs to Jack Ma but it's bit of a flop now coz he doesn't understand Thai's don't want to jump through hoops and pay him 20% commission to sell their products on his platform. So don't know exactly what he's going to teach anyone about eCommerce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about small sellers, I'm a selfish arse, and I can find what I want from Lazada most times, delivered to my door in 2 days. I'd say the thing works fine.

harada Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 It might be a good time to buy shares in BMW, Mercedes, Lambogini, with this much money coming into the country sales will skyrocket, it's no wonder Jack's getting a big hug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
