scammed Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) i got a 300 baht package a week ago and couldnt for the life of me recall anything i have ordered somewhat recently, i also wasnt at home so i told the delivery guy to speak with her to get paid. it turns out the package came from chiang mai and contained some sort of machine intended for woman to clean their face. maid tried to sort it out but it was a 300 baht loss, or 289 baht iirc Edited July 19, 2020 by scammed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innosiem Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) my wife has told me people have said this happens i doubt it would be a large scale scam they are trying though but more just incompetence somehow sending to wrong name and address it is usually pretty straight forward for most to know what has been ordered and when it is due to arrive by simply looking at the app used to place orders how many other sites that you use offer COD here apart from lazada and shopee ? being there would have not made any difference really as you are not allowed to open a cod parcel before paying for it was the parcel from a lazada or shopee seller ? as the seller will be stated on the shipping label usually good thing is it was only 300 baht and you now got a stocking filler ready for crimbo Edited July 19, 2020 by innosiem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about every store and food seller in the country? And yes there is a scam that most Thai are aware of. If not sure make delivery at a time when you or person named will be home. If real they will do that. We have had to do that when family members have failed to inform and can not get them on phone to verify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three times in the past 2 months i have had Kerry/ Thailand post at the gate with cods. Stuff ordered by my wife, but she never bothered to tell me.

UncleMhee Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Is it a scam if you receive something approximating what you paid though; whether you ordered it or not? Scams usually involve taking, not reciprocation. Definition of reciprocation. 1a : a mutual exchange. b : a return in kind or of like value.value. You'll fit right in here....moaning about losing 300 baht after nineteen posts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
