snoop1130 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Lazada launches LazMall with ‘9.9’ online shopping extravaganza By The Nation James Dong, chief executive of Lazada Thailand Gear up for the start of the year’s biggest shopping season with Lazada, Southeast Asia’s largest e-commerce portal, as it celebrates the official launch of LazMall. Boasting over 300 brands, and tens of thousands of product listings, LazMall is Southeast Asia’s biggest mall that provides shoppers across the region with reliable services and product quality assurance to get their hands on all they ever wanted, the company said on Tuesday. To ease shoppers into the year-end shopping bonanza, Lazada also announced the launch of a new extravaganza, dubbed 9.9, across six countries: Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam. Themed “All You Ever Wanted”, shoppers can revel in greater discounts and bargains, it said. From today, shoppers just need to get on the Lazada App to have fun with “Slash It” and “Shake It” games, while at the same time, snag vouchers and great offers. Thai shoppers can also start adding to cart their favourite products before the 9.9 online sale begins at midnight on September 9.

Big C don't have 1% of the choice of goods I buy from Lazada unfortunately. Nothing I want is cheaper at Big C. The cash on delivery option is a big attraction. Saves time and money. I am a fan. Lazada brings Thailand into the 21st century. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never understood people who actually think delivery should be or IS actually free. Its just marketing for the gullible masses who think its a great deal when something is "free". But there is no such thing as free delivery. Just ask ANY e-commerce seller. "Free delivery" actually means "including delivery charges". Who cares if they are now more honest and quote delivery charges when what matters is the total cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past weeek i have ordered 3 items from Ebay, that were simply TRIPLE the price on Lazada, for the exact same product. I made an offer and paid 653 Baht, that is 65,3 Baht delivered compared to 243 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh Sheesh, yet another who doesn't know his left foot from his right one, but want to sound smart I gave 2 examples of products on lazada that are a third of the price online elsewhere, and most probably from the same seller, and i can give many.

Of course you can find a lot of items cheaper on other sites, but there are also items which are cheaper on Lazada, in the end you are free to decide where you buy, nobody here said that everything on Lazada is very cheap ? I order most things from Aliexpress if i can wait for 2-4 weeks, which i can for most items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janclaes47 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Just now, jackdd said: In the other post you compare the price for a single fan with the price of 10 fans. Yes because I needed 10 and on Lazda the only option was to order 10 piece at 243 Baht each. The same fan just 1 piece on ebay was 130 baht OR Best offer. Plenty of the same spec fan available for 80 Baht include shipping on Ebay, but different brand., Good idea to order on Aliexpress, since lazada IS Aliexpress, so why the price difference?

I think you don't understand how sites like Lazada, Aliexpress and also eBay mostly work. Third party shops are selling their products on these platforms, they can decide by themself how they price their products. Everybody in China knows Aliexpress and all shops are selling there, most also sell on eBay. Lazada is specific to Thailand, so not every chinese shop is selling there, which means less competition which might lead to higher prices (but sometimes Lazada is the cheapest, so i recommend to compare prices) Other than that you might find local offers on Lazada, which means you don't have to wait a few weeks before you get the product.

I have used lazada for years, and it was always the cheapest, and I even have defended lazada many times in the past for that., Since Mr Ma took over many things changed, and prices started increasing, and lately lazada is even more expensive than brick and mortar shop most of the time. By the way lazada is not only Thailand, they are in every country in Asia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airalee Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 My humidifier recently broke. A Honeywell HCM-710 from Lazada was ฿6212 ($189) shipped from the US and the same humidifier from Amazon was about $120 including shipping and customs .(The actual humidifier price was $31.50 + $90 for shipping and customs. Thinking that my Amazon order would take forever to get here, I also ordered a ฿995 humidifier from Lazada the same night (Monday the 27th) to be delivered locally from Bangkok (I’m also in Bangkok) The Amazon order arrived in 4 days (Friday) and the Lazada order took 7 days (Monday).

snowgard Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) You can buy the same on Lazada for 58 THB. And if you buy 3 items and you get FREE DELIVERY. For the most items under 150/99 (up to the seller) the sellers charge for shipping cost.https://www.lazada.co.th/products/bluetooth-notebook-usb-bluetooth-audio-music-wireless-receiver-adapter-35mm-stereo-audio-bluetooth-music-i257720716-s397227519.html But right, some things cheaper on Lazada, some not. But for shopping inside Thailand and no risk about import tax Lazada is the best. Edited September 5, 2018 by snowgard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up with Lazada about a year or so ago. They could never understand why I was not happy that orders took 7 days to reach me when they were coming from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. Also, they allow vendors to lie about their location and, worst of all, their site is full of fake goods, even though they claim to have a 'zero tolerance policy' for counterfeit products on their site. I spent weeks badgering them about the numerous fake Ernie Ball and D'Addario guitar strings for sale on their site and couldn't get them to do anything about it until I emailed Ernie Ball in the USA and their distributor in Thailand. Even after all that, and a number of conversations, all they did was remove the particular product I complained about from one vendor, allowing them to carry on selling other counterfeit goods. I stick to overseas vendors now: it's easier and I don't have to deal with gormless call centre staff who haven't a clue what they are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 (edited) While I use Lazada for many items, I have stopped buying frequently counterfeited goods as so many do show up on Lazada, especially flash memory cards and other storage media. Even "Premium" Samsung Evo SD cards turned out to be phony. To be fair, if one checks online, a lot of people are claiming to get the same fakes off E-Bay and Amazon. Now I only buy storage devices at JEB at Fortune City (Bangkok) as nothing I have yet bought there has turned out to be phony. I've noticed recently that more items purchased through Lazada and Gearbest do now have delivery charges added. I guess both were eating those charges while building market share. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go the Amazon "Prime" route wherein they charge an annual "membership" fee to qualify for specials and free delivery.

sandmonster Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Lazada is a platform. Sellers can come from anywhere and they name their price. Nothing to do with Lazada itself being expensive or not. Some stock is shipped by Lazada on behalf of some sellers, usually bigger ones. I think these are in the LazadaMall e.g Official Samsung & Xiaomi shops I recently bought a bunch of phones for family and friends from Lazada shipped by Lazada Mall. Pocophone F1, 2 x Xiaomi Mi A1, 1 x Redmi 6A. All on the 9.9 flash sales. Nowhere else on any platform or shop online was it available and cheaper at that moment in time. All delivered next day cash on delivery. I won't post stupid one off examples and claim its scientific proof its the cheapest LOL . Happy bunny now with crazy value Poco Phone F1 for 9990Bt.
