A Thai delivery rider vanished after collecting eight iPhones, valued at over 100,000 baht, causing the client, Kittiphong Loeslaew, to voice his frustrations online. The delivery service is expected to compensate him for the loss.

 

The online community advised Kittiphong to file a formal complaint against the delivery fraud, as the rider and vehicle registration details were available. They also recommended customers request a photo of the delivery rider, unmasked and with the goods, prior to accepting the delivery.

 

If discrepancies are found between the account and the delivery person, they suggest cancelling the delivery immediately to avoid losing goods, time, and peace of mind. Kittiphong shared his bitter experience on Facebook. He believed that the company should reimburse him for his losses.

 

“iPhone 8… eight devices. They collected them and then just disappeared. Over a 100,000 baht.”

He will reappear at his mums house,  hiding behind the sofa.

Wouldn't it be the delivery companies responsibility for the loss?

Which company, Flash, LexExpress, Best ...... ?

Was it a Chinese copy? Since 8 phones would cost way more.

Safe and Trusted Thailand. 

How did the delivery rider know what was in the box(es)????

On a delivery from Kerry yesterday, there is a Lazada bar code and the sender's name & address. Not too difficult to find out what's in the parcel.

iPhone 8s are cheap as chips.   Wouldn't matter if they were Chinese copies, either, it is still theft.

12,500 Baht for a 6 year old iphone seems about right, probably overpriced actually.

A colleague ordered a Xiaomi phone from Lazada, when he opened the box there was a bottle of water in the box.

Probably the seller, create a false selling account then delete it, I always pay COD and if I buy a high value item I open it before the delivery person leaves.
