lopburi3 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 6 minutes ago, possum1931 said: Shopee has a dreadful website, items come up in dollars and there is no box to click to get their prices in Thai. I am not saying it can't be done, but they sure don't make it easy for you. While I'm here, some of Lazadas sellers are very undependable, and Lazada will not take responsibility for them. What website are you using? Shopee Thailand is in Thai and in Baht and search is much better than Lazada most of the time. As said Chrome translate does a good job of getting it into English. https://shopee.co.th/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website (co th) appears to be mostly English nowadays (many product descriptions are not) but looking at it now, I don't see a way to change the language. Maybe check the language settings in your web browser. I have ordered many things from Shopee and never had a problem so far. I always check the seller's feedback before ordering.

Actually that is exactly how it works - money is held until you confirm payment after receipt and check of item. How do you know that? And, before you jump down my throat, I'm just asking a question! How long does Shopee allow to check that the item is ok before they release the seller's funds, same day, a week? My online deliveries go to the condo office, they're not checked before the driver leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that happens when purchasing through the phone app, it doesn't when items are bought online using their website, that's how I do it. I have never received those messages/instructions so, presumably, "money will be transferred to the person Sell automatically...", i.e. immediately, when the website is used.

They just cancel your order, and you can't write a review or rate a cancelled order. And then you get to play the game of getting money back to your Airpay account, then a Thai only bank account. Normally the 'naughty boys' don't allow use of COD for a reason. I had orders cancelled on Lazada , Aliexpress .Money back within 8 days in Overseas bank account. No Problems. ????

Is it by any chance going to spam? They have your correct email account? You are paying by bank transfer? Nothing special about my account, although they do have my bank details for refunds and that was a separate set up process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been buying Centrum and Now products for some months and no reason to believe any are fake. They are Canada and US products that people import in small quantities to resell at a profit but as no store required they can sell without the usual huge markups. You will normally see few products available for shipment and when sold there can be a delay in restock - but others will often have for about the same price.

You will normally see few products available for shipment and when sold there can be a delay in restock - but others will often have for about the same price. Here is some of what you'll find in Centrum: Calcium as Calcium Carbonate: This is the least absorbable forms of calcium on the market. A very small percentage is actually absorbed. Magnesium as Magnesium Oxide: The least absorbable, cheapest form of magnesium. Iron as Ferrous Fumarate: This form of iron is incredibly constipating. Vitamin E as DL-Alpha Tocopherol: This is vitamin E and they are using two forms. The “D” form which is natural and the “L” Form which is synthetic. The “L” form is used to “water-down” the more expensive more bioactive “D” form. The B vitamins: Citing anywhere from 1.1 mg to 15mg per vitamin is a concentration so low as to have no impact on energy levels, as outlined in their claims. Nickelous Sulfate and Tin: I was unable to locate any references discussing a need for humans to supplement with nickel or tin. THE "NON-ACTIVE" INGREDIENTS Though it could easily be argued by any functional medicine expert that the entire pill is non-active given the low dose of poorly absorbable, cheap nutrient varieties, more harm may actually be coming from the non-active ingredients, the binding agents and colourants used to make the pill a pill. Pregelatinized Corn Starch: This is used as a binder to hold all of the ingredients together. It most likely a genetically modified corn, which presents a number of problems for sensitive people. Talc: Has been implicated with increased risk of cancer. Gelatin: Though not inherently a bad product, most of is manufactured from feed lot animal waste. And vegans and vegetarians best beware. BHT: Butylated hydroxyanisole has been shown to be toxic to the liver, thyroid, kidney, lungs, and affecting blood coagulation. BHT can act as a tumour promoter. Yellow 6 Lake: Why is there food colouring in a health supplement? Also known as tartrazine or FD&C Yellow #6, this chemical is banned in some European countries. Side effects of ingestion can include gastric upset, diarrhea, vomiting, nettle rash (urticaria), swelling of the skin (angioedema) and migraines, it's also linked to hyperactivity in young children. Red 40 Lake: Contains chemical compounds, including benzidine and 4-aminobiphenyl, that research has linked with cancer. Hydrogenated Palm Oil: Hydrogenating any oil converts the fat into an unnatural structure that has shown to be toxic to the body. It forms strong free radicals associated with increased risk of cancer and heart disease. Maltodextrin: Several studies have linked maltodextrin consumption to the suppression of “good bacteria” in the digestive system increasing risk of gastro symptoms and intestinal inflammation. Crospovidone: There is an abundance of documented cases of serious allergenic response. Sodium Benzoate: Especially dangerous because of its destructive effect on DNA. This means that the sodium benzoate consumed today may still be causing problems in future generations. Sodium benzoate is known to specifically attack the mitochondria of DNA. Sodium Aluminosilicate Used as a food additive for its anti caking effect. well, it is made by Pfizer.... that says enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Rodriguez Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 shopee has some items you cannot find on lazada... I love the chemical companies that sell by the kilogram (vitamin C, glycine, collagen, potassium...) pure, no fillers and cheap transport cost everything I don't have to order overseas...
