fusion58 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I've had an account for about a year, but I've never tried to place an order until today. After logging in successfully and after adding items to my cart, I made it as far as the "select payment method" page. I selected the credit card option, and when I clicked "continue" I was taken to a page that said "Please wait a moment. Do not close your browser or refresh the page." And that was the end of the line. The system just hangs on that page and nothing else happens. Tried same procedure with both Firefox and Chrome. Same result. Just another day in "IT Idiocracy," apparently. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Tops Online has another option there to pay by bank card via a mobile terminal when the driver brings your order. I use that all the time, and most of the time it works fine. As for doing the charge online via their website, for some reason, a lot of the payment gateways here seem to have problems from time to time. Not sure if it's the Thai businesses' systems or the payment vendors they're using. But I have those same kinds of online payment stall outs periodically at any range of other online businesses here, not just Tops Online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Yes they can make change - but not especially happy to do so in my experience. The web site software is not very good and quite slow (although was recently upgraded). The good is they normally have what they say they have, unlike another home delivery service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhat Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I've used it a few times but mostly use HonestBee since they will go to Villa, never had any issues with tops besides having to direct the delivery driver every step of the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiBunny Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I have a couple of times but their delivery schedule is meaningless. Both times I asked for mid to late afternoon, went out to an early lunch only to get a call on my phone that the delivery guy was in the lobby of my condo.

Fortunately the security guys there accepted delivery Tesco is even worse about that -- totally ignoring your scheduled delivery window. I had a Tesco delivery this week scheduled for 8-10 pm, and the driver called at 3 pm saying they were on their way to deliver. So I had to warn them off. Sometimes, both Tesco and Tops just arrive totally unannounced outside of the delivery appointment time window, not even bothering to call ahead. I used to include a comment in the delivery details, saying in EN don't deliver early. But that totally got ignored, probably because the drivers and/or the store staff don't speak/read any EN... So, I then changed that written instruction to Thai, and they seem to be a bit better about that since making that change. I also chewed out the driver/delivery guy a few times, asking him why he was showing up at my home unannounced at 3-4-5 pm for a delivery that wasn't supposed to arrive until after 8 pm.... But since it's somehow a different delivery person almost every time, that tends to have limited impact.

Never had a delivery miss the scheduled slot and never a problem with stock of what I've ordered. Change! One of the important factors to gain best margin in E-Commerce is for the driver to complete all deliveries in the shortest possible time (time costs money). Any e-Commerce operator who is serious will ensure 'making change', asking around with other people to get together enough small money to complete the transaction with the actual buyer is a total no-no. Meaning any sensible e-commerce delivery operation will be well organized in all factors to keep the driver moving to the next delivery location as fast as possible. Kerry have delivered COD to our house many times, they are always well prepared for change, all completed within seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAICT, Villa has been expanding their delivery zone from the Soi 33 store over a period of time since they originally launched. Last time I checked with them on the subject, they said their delivery range then was something like boundaries of... Bearing, Rama 3-4, Petchburi Road and somewhere along the Silom Line near the river. Can't recall if they cross to the other side of the river, but I don't think so. When you log onto the Villa Online website for delivery, it prompts you to enter your delivery address, and I assume at that point either accepts the address for delivery or tells you you're out of their delivery area... I'm in their delivery area, so I've never seen or gotten the alternate message myself. Edited June 21, 2019 by TallGuyJohninBKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Can't recall if they cross to the other side of the river, but I don't think so". My comment was addressed to whoever it was who said that Villa delivered only to central Bangkok. I would not describe Suan Luang as central Bangkok, that was my point, and it is not, as you seem to be suggesting, on 'the other side of the river'.
