I have complained to LAZADA (mentioned Cainaio's bad feedback online) but despite their polite customer service they do nothing. They advise me to refuse the package if it does someday arrive, honestly I don't like that. I often make online orders and the delivery people know me, some even by name. I hate the thought of wasting their time refusing COD shipments. I wish LAZADA would just cancel the order. Buying from China has become a hassle because I have to ask the seller what delivery partner they use before I purchase anything. If they use LEL Express my items arrive within a week.

You are correct I didn't know they were controlled, LOL Thailand. I didn't read anything about spare parts being controlled. Some of the items I order get through its just Cainiao that seems to be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

recom273 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) It’s not just Lazada or COD - there have been many times from aliexpress to be delivered by cainaio that never turn up - just little things, electrical components, screws, etc - I order duplicates to ensure delivery. if it’s printer parts you need - I usually find the most reliable places are the manufacturers official stores on aliexpress. There are a couple of places in Thailand that I buy from T-Make and korat 3D but they tend to be over twice the price of China for little parts, it’s best to keep backup supplies.

HarrySeaman Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Ordering a controlled item is not a good idea, but then Lazada should not be selling them either. Thai items ordered from Lazada have been quickly delivered but I have had long delays on Lazada items that turn out to be shipped from China. I have always gotten quick delivery, and usually lower prices, with items bought from Chinese sellers on eBay. When you open eBay click on "Advanced" to the right of the search window to bring up the full page Advanced Search page. Enter the item name, scroll down and click on the selection button for "Located in", select "China" in the window, then scroll down and click on "Search". This will put the advertisements from Chinese suppliers at the top of the list of suppliers. Many offer free EMS delivery, which usually takes less than two weeks. I have never had an item held up by Chinese or Thai customs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Aliexpress: 3 months ago I order a camera for my drone with a value of $470. After 1 week it looks like it was already at customs in Thailand, at least that's what the supplier tries to tell me. Until now it still stay at customs!! Now I have to try to get my money back....3 months waiting and nothing, think twice before you order something and have to pay in advance.

Popular Post hlj Posted November 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2020 I ordered a item from China the seller did have the item and posted it had been packed. After a week Lazada tracking said the same thing, several days later I checked again, same thing. I contacted Lazada customer service they it was packed and not sent out yet. I contacted the seller he said there was a error with my order. No, I order off Lazada all the time. I canceled the order, ordered from another seller and got the item within a week. I am thinking it is the sellers who is the problem in China not the shippers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazada sellers use different delivery partners like Kerry, Ninja Van, Thai Post LEL Express etc. Items from China tend to use LEL Express or Cainaio. LEL Express is good I usually receive items in less than a week. The problem has been items sent by Cainaio, I haven't received any of my orders shipped through them. Finally today Lazada has cancelled all my Cainaio orders. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacherclaire Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 There are still a few items on the back of a snail somewhere between China and Thailand, I'm waiting for a long time, ordered from Lazada.

Actually when Shopee started selling online COD was not an option it didn't take long for them to realize their mistake and it was added to their site. COD is not inconvenient at all the delivery people always have change if you pay cash. I just use my banking app on my phone it takes less than a minute to make a payment. Actually I seldom use cash now, it has always been unhygienic handling bills/coins. Now with Covid-19 I am even more careful. Any place that I can pay using my phone app I do even for small purchases. If an item is fragile and the packaging looks damaged I refuse it. No hassle trying to get refunds using COD. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I too have a Lazada item that is to be shipped by Cainiao. It is marked as packed but not yet shipped. Fortunately it is a black pre-filter for my air purifier that only cost 319 baht. There appears to be a general delay with shipping. iHerb supplements, which are shipped through Germany by DHL, are much delayed. Items ordered in early October are now scheduled to be delivered in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susco Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I have quite a few items not arriving lately, they aren't even ever shipped. This range from China to Thailand sellers, and cheap or expensive items, like for example a 75" LED from a Thailand seller. If it says, not enough data under the rating tabs, expect the item never to be arrive. Contact Lazada, and they do nothing about, so I think they are just fake listings made by Lazada themselves. Remember, Lazada is owned by Alibaba, which is the king of fake accounting, reason also why they will be banned from the US stock market soon, because they don't have a credible audit or no audits at all. On Shopee I lately see a lot of listings that say, pre-order will ship in 14 days. That is something else to stay away from. You will know that 15 Asian countries signed the RCEP the other day, which is actually an agreement to keep curbs on China's economic push in the region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communists go over dead bodies, that should not be a secret to anyone That's possible, but in that case I think it would have been more more deadly. I think it was just the normal case of China generating and spreading zoonotic viruses from the diverse range of what they consume, as has happened for decades if not centuries. It seems more likely that they saw the potential of the global impact and are politically astute enough to leverage it. They have the advantage of being able to almost totally control their citizenry so could minimize the impact on their own population, who they care nothing for anyway. They have played it well and continue to do so. They just got a lucky break and took full advantage of it. There is little doubt that they are profiting by it and will continue to leverage it as far as they can. It may even provide a great opportunity to invade Taiwan when the rest of the world is distracted; I'm a bit surprised they haven't already.

That was actually my point, but you worded it better than me. Not claiming the virus was created with this purpose, though I still believe that the virus is some lab experiment which by accident got released, and China saw the potential very soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on that too. At one point a Chinese scientist said he had proof of origin, but somehow it fell of the media stage. I suspect he got disappeared. In any event, this is off topic Lazada and shipping so I'll leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
