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

No I haven't, I tried to enlist in Shopee a long time ago but they made it so awkward I just gave up, I am mostly only interested in buying western food as I do not eat Thai food, and I live up here in the boonies.

There was Expat food, that is Siambury's, and they were that bad at messing up my password I just gave them up, besides you must order over 1000 Bt's worth of food and most times they are more expensive than Lazada and don't have as much of a selection.

So I just have to keep on using Lazada, and have to put up with their incompetence all the time.

I used Amazon when I was in the UK and never had a problem with them or their deliveries.

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.

I would imagine Lazada allow each seller to set their own delivery fee calculations choosing from weight based, per-item based (with or without multiple-item discount), flat fee or a variety of other algorithms.

 

If this is indeed the case, then it would be impossible to compile the figures that you want.

you bought them at the same time? same cart? if shipping added on twice not worth buying together

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...

All I am mostly interested in is buying western food and there is not much competition for Lazada so I am stuck with them.

Yes, you have got that right.

Two items always buy online many times a year  Fish Food + Dog Food

 

So 20 kg of Fish food in the Shop 550 baht + 33 km round trip

Buy on Lavada same sack from same shop always delivered next day...  330 baht + 230 baht Delivery charge.     I cannot drive there and back for 10 baht !!.......  buy 2 sacks on the same order = still 230 baht delivery charge.

I guess that we all have different experiences.

 

I had loads of issues with Amazon in the UK and virtually none with Lazada.

Variety delivers free for 599 Baht minimum purchase on Lazada , but not on their Shopee page ,they charge

delivery . 

regards worgeordie

 

I have tried it. This is on food bought on Variety. Sub total. 9 items. 641.75Bt. Shipping fee. 98Bt.

On the small print above, it says "7.25Bt more to get free standard delivery". 641.75Bt is well above the 599Bt for free standard delivery.

I must be going wrong somewhere.

Yes. That was on Lazada. I tried it out as a test, but would still be getting charged for delivery for items on Variety. Either I have missed something, or it is just the same old unreliable Lazada.

Your not on one of the Islands or some really out of the way locality,

that could be reason for delivery charge.

Or delivery is factored into prices.

From what I gather. There is no amount put into the seller's price. The standard price is 10 baht to Laz and the rest is swallowed up with transport and delivery.

 

I bought some fishing tackle on a special deal for 6 baht. Total cost 34 baht. Since then the standard delivery has gone to 38 baht.

 

Just ordered a stylus for daughters phone. 240 baht + 38. So 278 all told. Will get delivered later this week.

 

I'd like Laz to get into books; big time. My last two orders from Book Depository never got to me.

You can use it for when you ran out of glue for your wallpaper

 

I made the mistake once in buying one of those MASH Potato Instant packages. Even the dogs wouldn't touch it and one of them eats everything (except that ????)

For crying out loud....How hard is it to boil a potato and mash it...

Slice the potato before boiling, and it might take 10 minutes...

Bought some items from Ikea, for the very first time....bed slats, and then a centre support bar. Slats 1400 + 99 shipping. Then 500 for the bar + 99 shipping. They were no good for my bedframe so needed to return them. 

For their company to come pick them up...............Bht 1790 !  Sent them with Best Express for Bht 160, took ONE day P'lok to Bkk.

The refund will take up to 20 days back to my Bkk Bank Debit Card.

Years ago in England we had a mix called 'Smash'. Made some pretty decent mash potato. In fact for a year or so my favourite meal was mashed potato (Smash) with beans from the tin, with those little sausages, and cooked carrots.

 

I find that dogs, and cats, eat what they are trained to eat. When they are puppies they will eat what the mum eats.

 

Try mixing the MASH with some cooked chicken. And perhaps warming it a little in the sun or micro-wave.

Ah yes! But you are talking going into the kitchen. When I brew my reishi wine, I do it outside.

 

I have a bad phobia about kitchens, and only stay in them for a few moments.

Direct action. It's what the world need at the present time.

 

I was the same in England. If I thought I wasn't getting the best service I wouldn't buy from, or use, them again. There was a big warehouse in Romford (Essex) selling flat packs. I bought a flat-pack for a TV. Took me ages to put it together. When the daughter came home from school, I said to sit on it. After all if it couldn't take the weight of a 6 year old, it wouldn't take a TV. It just collapsed in a heap. Never bought anything from them again.

 

And same in Thailand. I was walking down a soi in my local town, and a shop was hanging things from high up. I hit my head on something. Never went in that area again. Their loss for not thinking of tall people.

It was a 1 time buy thus never again and for 89 THB it was (even) not worth the test.

Can you believe that Ikea suggested I took the items back to Bang Yai (Bkk) my self within 365 days. That would have been 4 hours each way and about Bht 4000 in juice.

Their warranty says that an item can be returned within 365 days of delivery as long as it has not been assembled???, or in the case of a mattress, been used!

Thanks for telling us about it MJCM.

 

I haven't got a dog now - as a neighbour killed Lala for hurting one of his chickens - but it sounds as though it is not worth bothering with either for yourself or your pet.

Just remembered. The store was called MFI. Opened in the 1970s.
