How do the Lazada delivery charges work? If a buy say 4 items, ie food, then I buy 1 item later, will that item only cost me 25% of the previously bought 4 items.

I am just trying to find the most economic way of buying items of food.

You can try putting more items in your "cart", then proceed to checkout to see the total shipping cost.  If not happy with the price, you can backtrack.

 

Also, if you use the Lazada app on your phone, you can collect free shipping vouchers, although not all sellers take them.

The "shipping cost" on the item description is for one off.

 

Buying several together will should will often might net you a cost lower than say 4 times the one-off price.

 

As above, test by going to check-out.

 

Buying another item later will be charged at the one-off rate.

 

You'll get delivery discount if buy more than 1 item from seller

As with all shipping its based on weight/distance.

 

You have a start price around 38bt then depending which weight band it enters reflects in the price. Upto 500g upto 1kg and so on as an example.

 

Get it from "food variety" if you can, delivery is FREE !

Or delivery is factored into prices.

That depends on the item\seller. For some items such as heavy dog food bags in my experience the delivery charges double when you order 2 bags. For other items such as 1 kg bags of beans I found out that the cheapest way was to buy 4 bags each time.

I'm lost re Food Variety, the website I found seems to only have cookies etc., not a full grocery range. Have I got the wrong website?

So if you buy say six of the same things they will all be from the same seller and the delivery charge will be much smaller. I wonder if there are figures for this.

There are certain things like boxes of Cadbury's Smash that I buy individually as they begin to run out.

Yes, free if you spend more than 599Bt I think.

What is it with Lazada and free shipping? Many times I see 'Shipping Free' when looking at an item. But when I click the buy option the 'Shipping Free' option has gone and a 'Shipping Fee' is displayed and added to the price. I never buy when the seller(?) does that. Surely it's wrong?

Many times, shipping is free if ordering a minimum amount from that particular vendor. For example, the product page will say something like "Free Delivery 999B +" 

I don't believe that shipping is ever free. So don't care what it is. But I do understand that people need some kind of hobby.????

Nothing is free. The shipping charges are built into the price which YOU pay.

In your initial post you said you wanted the most economical way of buying food. try potatoes from Lotuss or Makro instead of smash.

New trick I saw is "free shipping" advertised.  Then the seller delivers at their hidden fee/cost.  But they've gamed the Lazada system to list them under free shipping.

Yes you are right, I only eat mash about twice a week, then there is baked potatoes, boiled potatoes, and chips cooked in the air friar, yes, bought from Lotuss or Makro.

Often when they say that only 20 baht or other amount comes off the delivery fee so not free

These is some really FREE shipping to be found....I have had free shipping a number of times.....But not often, its pretty rare really..

 

Best bet is to forget free shipping......

 

To save on shipping just find the vendor with the lowest shipping rates.....Many times Shopee has lower shipping rates.....Not big savings maybe 5,10,15,20,25,30 baht.....But hey every bit of savings helps...

No no no no. There's times when checking you can get it. I just bought a water dispenser on Lazada. The lowest priced one advertised free shipping. I saved delivery of 170 Baht.

I would like to know where to find all 'My Vouchers'.

 

 Lazada says look in your Account, but I can never find them. I know some are automatically added to purchases, but the ones I collect just  seem to disappear.

Lazada and their sellers are just one big joke, must be the worst internet company ever to deal with.

You have clearly never used Shopee.............................or a host of others.

Except for all the endless layers of free shipping nonsense both Lazada and Shopee are fine.....They can be much much cheaper than Amazon or Ebay depending on what you are looking for.....

 

Its actually bloody fantastic...Lazada and Shopee sellers have vicious cut throat competition to try and under price each other..

Giving the smart shopper big savings...
