NoshowJones Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 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.

Popular Post Yorkshire Tea Posted September 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2022 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. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 You'll get delivery discount if buy more than 1 item from seller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted September 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2022 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 ! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

IvorBiggun2 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 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 +" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VocalNeal Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 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.???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dart12 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwood1 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 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...

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...
