Aha the old adage.

If it sounds to good to be true...

 

Went and noodled around this website today. Nice that they have the option of EN language display.

 

However, from the various things I searched for, not much selection, many things listed as out of stock, prices unremarkable.

 

Maybe it will turn into something over time with Central apparently as a partner/backer. But right now, it seems pretty meager.

 

Another Ad...............

"authentic products policy with zero tolerance to counterfeit goods" - I sincerely hope so but with Chinese involvement??

Lazada advertises a zero tolerance to counterfeit goods but fails miserably to deliver on that promise. I hope this venture does better.
