willyumcr Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Anyone else having delivery problems with Shopee? Twice in the last week, I ordered products and received flower seeds instead. First I ordered canned Olives and then I ordered A-1 sauce. Different sellers. Both times I was sent flower seeds instead. The problem today was I gave a friend money to pay the driver for A-1 sauce and when it was delivered he paid for it, not knowing it was flower seeds. I'm sure I am not the only one this is happening to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bday Prang Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 I only ever used shopee for buying weed, no problems other than the J&T driver getting lost once. I don't use it anymore since they seem to have taken down all the weed listings There have been a few scams reported, and many of the sellers now advise that you make a video of yourself opening the package. Also be very careful if a package arrives that you did not order, (cash on delivery normally) best course of action is to refuse to accept it, happened to my mrs a few times and the courier guy had no problems with returning it to the depot or wherever. Said it was a common occurrence I think what happens in these cases is the scammers that send it to you claim that it was a simple posting error and ask you to return the "expensive" goods that you have supposedly received , normally however the package is in fact empty. They then claim that you must have kept the goods and demand payment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jacko45k Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) I don't use Shopee as I recall reding here it was prone to scamming. Had a few wrong items from Lazada but it was usually Chinese sources, they seem to have bricks in their heads... Lazada have a good return facility and lately no issues.

willyumcr Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Well, Guess I will never learn. Happened again with Shopee. I made an 450baht order and received a box with a cookie inside instead. I am unable to go downstairs in my building so had the GF go down instead to receive the item. Shopee policy is I have to go to police station and make a fraud report and fill out papers which is not going to happen. Stick with Lazada only from now on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are a lot of scams on those platforms, but hs never happened to me. You either attract them, or it is your own error. Do you search for the cheapest of the cheapest listing for the item you want? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espanol Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 If everyone sells a product for 1,000 baht, and someone else sells it for 100 baht, don't bother buying it, because it sure is a scam. Even in Amazon. I had that problem with memory cards, once. Never again! Fortunately, Amazon's return policy is good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I buy quite a lot from amazon.com and amazon.co.uk Nothing too bulky because of the shipping costs, but quite a few things (including shipping and import duties) have been cheaper than I can find locally. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shopee won't pay the seller until you acknowledge receipt or a time period elapses. If you pay COD there's no recourse if it isn't as it's supposed to be. AliExpress works this way too. Lazada, i don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaRoadrunner Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Problem I have with both Shopee and Lazada is they don't allow you to open the package before paying COD. You can almost get in a fight with some of the delivery boys. Often the package does not contain the correct item, or it does not stand up to comparison with the advertised photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
