Shopee/Lazada credit card vs cash on delivery

[kwak250]

So a while ago lots of people were saying it was much easier paying with credit card/mobile banking.

 

I always paid with cash and for a while started paying with my kbank app.

 

Yes it was easier and I could get them to leave the parcel at the entrance to our house without having to be in to collect the parcel.

 

I have now had 2 parcels cancelled by the seller which means I have to wait 7-14 days for the payment to be returned to my bank according to shopee. 

 

Forget that I am going back to cash on delivery.

 

Luckily both items were only a few thousand baht but after waiting for a week and not seeing them even being packed I could have cancelled before if I had not paid.

 

Cod for me from now on.

Ridiculous. I use credit card or now QR option which has appeared this year.

Sometimes i change mind and it only takes a few days (for CC) to bounce back to my wise card.

 

With prepaid you no have to move out of bed, they will call you and you tell them where to leave it i.e with security.

You can go on with your COD but your justification is ridiculous especially seeing most stuff you buy is sub 200b..

You will probably never get the refund

Ridiculous. why are you even here

[impulse]

If you don't mind staying around the house all day, every day, with cash in hand, go for COD.

 

I did several hundred Lazada orders by debit card and never had a problem.

Many people lose “refunds” on lazada. I guess it’s your post that is ridiculous. 

[transam]

C.O.D. for me, done it for years, they phone when on route, if you are not in, you tell them to come back the next day..........Easy...🤗

Nothing is sub 200b

I think you are talking out of your lower half, I have never had a problem with refunds, except a seller hanging it out to his 3 day limit...🤔

I am not worried about losing the money just wished that I hadn't waited a week for 2 items to cancel

Total is only about 5000 baht and shopee say it can take 7-14 days but maybe muh quicker.

If I paid cod I would still have that 5000 in my pocket

Now I have had to order from other sellers with cod option this time

Worst part is you cannot even leave a sh7t feedback when it's been cancelled by the seller 

One says out of stock for the reason but they took 1 week to tell me.

I wouldnt lump in lazada with shopee. Lazada and their customer service is flawless.

Not sure if the same with credit card but pay with mobile banking is a reach around. They cancel, you get a “refund” and it goes into your “wallet” and then you can’t use it unless you follow 2 pages of complicated banking instructions. I should note I’m only talking about what lazada does. The other thing I’ve had is lazada cancels my items, NOT the seller, and then the money goes into my “wallet” that I can’t use. That one I find particularly annoying

YOU Take the cake. RIDICULOUS

[Robert Paulson]

I should note I actually find lazada sellers quite good. It’s when lazada inserts themselves in the mix that they heist you and ruin the experience

I've stopped using COD, too inconvenient, my delivery companies have proved to be very good over a long period, i now pay via QR code, great

So how about your assertion having problems getting refunds...Tell all....🤔

[KhunLA]

COD for us, avoids any issues ...

... not received (never happened though)

... damaged on arrive (happened once, but not obvious, refunded)

... no wait for refund, though TBH, easy enough

... not a problem being here, as no schedule

and tracking lets you know the day it will arrive

 

... one 'flash & kerry' driver knows us so well, that if not here, leaves parcel (s), 

and rings/msg the wife, to transfer funds, if she missed the initial call.

I've found the opposite, Lazada have given me an early refund twice before the seller even confirms. Very good, Shopee has a lot of work to do to catch up

Agree, and will use LAZ as first choice.  If using LAZMALL vendor, will refund item when picked up, before it even makes it back to the warehouse.   Just got an instant refund notice to 'LAZ Wallet' last week, on 2 parcels/3 items returned, before the driver made it out of the soi

credit card vs cash 

I always pay credit card, if for some reason the item is faulty or wrong item described, you are protected using credit card. 

 

I've had to report and fill out documents at Kasikorn bank on a few occasions, money is always returned in around 6 weeks.

Did you see how many of these items had already been sold and see the buyers reviews and delivery times before you made your order?

Thai credit card? if not Thai usually there's some exchange loss or commission included

Nope...  your post is...   never had an issue with Lazada not refunding.

 

 

I guess if someone can't wait 7-14 days for a refund, then they have other financial issues... 

 

COD or Payment through the app just depends on personal preference - if you will be in or not... 

We always use Payment through the App because we never know if we'll be in and delivery can just place it on our doorstep (no porch pirates in moobaan)...    

 

Items are often cancelled by the vendor, refund is always forthcoming.

Nope. Not with me. I can price it I have funds in my lazada “wallet” that I can’t spend.

It may not be the case... but, particularly with Chinese vendors I've often found that they cancel the order, then when I search for the same item again, its available from different vendor using exactly the same photos...     my guess is 'bait and switch'...   

 

... they list items cheaply to draw you in, when you pull the tigger they are not available and if you want the item, you chose the more expensive option...  I suspect its a business model some of the vendors use - its particularly annoying when purchasing something on a 'time-line'...
