Seeall Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Has anyone else dealt with the Lazada circus selling mobile cheap phones? Yes yes.. you get what yo pay for says the old AU barheads, however, if you look at the ads, on the same products they say : S21, S22, S23, Android 10, 11, 12 and screensize 6.5/7.5 and different resolutions all in the same ad .. lol.. and worse.. when you ask them about this they talk about something else or say you can return it... I never seen such a circus.. if I not had better things to do I would order all, and send them back all year just to piss them off..... well, I am always online so.. perhaps I will.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... you’ve gone this far... you may as well explain yourself a little better. What do you mean ‘can’t check if it states contradictory information’ ??? If you question the validity of the listing I’m wondering why you wouldn’t just ignore it and move on ? Actually, I’m wondering why you’d be looking for a phone on Lazada in the first place unless its extremely difficult to get out and source one from a shop yourself and you don't have friends / family who can do that for you.

Exactly. i have seen many comments on AN that imply people think lazada is a company like homepro many fail to realise it is a marketplace (like ebay), and sales and dispatch are done by indivual sellers. i do wish lazada had a block/ignore feature though Edited May 6, 2023 by patman30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the owners of these market places don’t care, or it's too much work to continually kick them off the site without proof. I think one of the ways round is to only search products with good feed-back (i.e. >90% positive), however, it wouldn’t take long before the larger vendors use ‘click-farms’ to provide positive feedback and smear valid competitors. Unfortunately this is the facet of humankind operating in a faceless environment where scruples are utterly absent and the bottom line is all that matters. Dissapointingly it is up to us to filter the chaff... we simply do this by ‘moving on’ as soon as we see something that doesn’t quite add up.... (or like the Op, we make a post about it !! ????)

KhunLA Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Buy from flagship stores on LAZ or resellers linked from manufacturer site. Anything else, at your own risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) OP .... I tend to agree totally .... the sellers place the advertisements online and they say Android 12 ... or screen is 6.5" or latest model or whatever BS they like to put, then when you ask a question before buying such as can you please confirm this android phone is Android 12, they will message back with a copy / past of the description as posted by there marketing staff ... even though they know full well it's incorrect, or they just say ' please return the item if it is faulty or thank you for buying our product or some other stupid comment nothing to do with the question .. The cheaper mobiles are absolute garbage and should be avoided at all costs ... they break down after a few months or the battery dies or you can't download anything ... be warned! just sayin' Edited May 6, 2023 by steven100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are those chances, 100/1 or 1/100? In the cities I have never been in a mall with "electronic" shops where a member of staff does not speak sufficient English to meet our needs. You must be talking about "one person" shops out in the sticks.! Edited May 6, 2023 by scottiejohn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR do a little research and have an idea of what you are looking at in the first place so that when you do go to a shop all your are doing is simply running a ‘double-check’.... OR just buy a 10,000 baht product on Lazada and take your chances !!!... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually know just about everything there is to know about any product I'm about to buy, and then buy it from the manufacturer's store, or authorized reseller, LAZ (flagship) site. No different here than when I lived back in USA. Actually easier here since all you need to know is on the internet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
