Shopee App - Can't download, but website says I need it to use the CoD service?

[Maud]

Thanks for your earlier help sorting out our 4G router.

Looking at Shopee, there are a couple of things I would like to buy, and wanted to try out the Cash on Delivery option, using a modestly priced item.

I can log in, using my phone number, set up an account, including my address, and get as far as checkout when it says I need to app to complete the process.  The Apple App Store doesn't appear to have a shopee app, even though I am connected on a Thai sim, and have a Thai address.

I am using CoD because I only have UK credit cards, which I would rather not expose to a brand new operation.  

 

Any suggestions how I might remedy this?

Thanks!

Can you change your app store location ?

I had no idea I could change, but even when I do, to Thailand, the App Store says I need to change my location to UK

Yeah, Shopee is silly.  You can use it for a year, then it will ask you to sign in by the phone app.  They also region lock the app.  Haven't had any luck sideloading it on Android.  FYI Shopee will not even allow you to browse if you can't sign in.

No, I've used it for years, bought a goodie a month ago via the web login. I don't have the app on my phone. Shopee is OK.

After the first page, no.
