Russell17au Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 On the 27th February I place 2 orders for products from 2 different sellers in China. According to Lazada's tracking both orders were packed and shipped on the same day and both went through Chinese Customs at the same time March 4. Now 1 of the orders continued and was delivered in Khon Kaen on March 6 while the other order is still on its way to Thailand and today I get an email from Lazada Customer Service advising me that my order has been delayed because the border is closed. My question is if the border is closed when both these orders came through then how come 1 order gets through and the other order gets stopped. I personally think that Lazada Customer Service are telling big porkies to save face. I believe that the border is not closed but Lazada Express has either lost the order or they have stuffed up somewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) I am not so sure about that the border isn't closed but it could also be Lazada. I ordered something (also from CHina) and it's expected to arrive between the 19 and 7th April Another thing I ordered arrived yesterday after being stuck in China Customs for 8 days!! Maybe it has to do with this? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-14/shenzhen-tightens-shipping-rules-to-cut-infections-virus-update-l0q1wikc Edited March 15, 2022 by MJCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 NOTHING to do with LAZADA. Its the responsibility of the seller, Lazada may be involved in logistics (transport but not usually out of the country). They monitor and follow up when its beyond the stated delivery time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example sellers marked it "packed" purely so you cannot cancel it. Lazada is merely parroting what the seller enters. The doftware is triggered when it goes over the dtated delivery date. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is right until it goes through Chinese Customs and leaves China when it is handed over to LEX for the remainder of the delivery then it is what LEX puts on the tracking and not the seller. This order has gone past the sellers point and is in the hands of LEX so it is Lazada that does the tracking reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is LEX? Lazada Express. Now how come 2 packages go through Chinese Customs and leave China on March 4 and both are being carried by LEX and 1 package gets delivered on March 6 but the other package is still listed on LEX tracking as "on its way to Thailand" and Lazada send me an email to tell me it is delayed because the border is closed. How can 1 package get stopped at the closed border and the other package get through and be delivered. Think about this CharlieH. How come both packages did not get stopped at the "CLOSED" border as Lazada has claimed to be the cause of the delay of just 1 package. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible cenario, they arrived and were added to the mountain at the sortation centre and one got processed quicker than the other in that pile. Have you ever seen the way they do it, its very basic and literally thrown in a heap ! Then sorted into smaller heaps.etc. Just as an illustration https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSdecjxyr/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell17au Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Here is something else that shows that the border was not closed. The package that was delivered is shown to have arrived at Thailand Customs at 14:00 on March 4 and the package that has not been delivered is shown to have departed China at 13:58 March 4. When was the border closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My GF in China said yesterday a whole vegetable market was closed because there was a Covid case and all the vendors were bussed off. I can see where that my happen in one port of entry and not another. Weird times we're living through. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin1976 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Always order from Lazada but only limited to vendors in Thailand. As I'm not patience enough to track the order also don't like to complaint in forum if any problems occur. ???? Btw, the order tracking system was not 100% accurate. Seems just for reference only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a LEX tracking reference, but when I put that into their website it doesn't recognise it. I won't be ordering anything "ships from overseas" for a while.

Firefan Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Same here. 2 products but from same seller in China. Took a month or so for 1 to arrive, and then that same email as OP received. I presume seller was out of stock to not send 2, and now package stuck at some key border point OR the seller just have not re-stocked and send the 2nd product yet - but updated the system that it is shipped. That then leads to auto email about "closed border points" from Lazada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left the country = processed past exit customs and handed to shipping company. If the shipping company is short staffed due to the crazy Covid situation in China it'll remain there until they get to it and get it moving again. No lying, just the way things worked out.

Both of mine were packed and shipped at the same time, they both went through Chinese customs and the both left China on the way to Thailand but only 1 gets delivered and I am told the other is delayed because the border is closed. What border is closed if both packages have departed from China then both packages have crossed over the Chinese border. The only borders that are left to cross is Thai-Laos and Thai-Cambodia and both these borders are open for trade Edited March 16, 2022 by Russell17au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
