They changed the front opening where you would go to get the filters out, I dont like it the older model was smooth and rounded the new one has an ugly lip and ive seen two of the newer style broken on the hinge lugs already, so it seems a poor design "update", only fix to order a new panel at about 600baht 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kevozman1 Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 I must admit I found Thailand lacking in customer service/efficiency in anything more than getting some noodles or a taxi, but then I went to the Philippines and all was forgiven. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank83628 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 they probably don't carry the older model as most appliances are upgraded in a year. you might be better searching high street shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 19 hours ago, Rampant Rabbit said: so it goes on with lazada sellers one after the other after the other. Its no wonder they dont want competition. Okay. What is your plan B while not replacing your current air con units? I assume you are not pleased with your current units (working poorly?) that you need during currently for very hot days and nights. Lazada shows many, many (67 pages) ac's for sale obviously in competition between manufacturers/suppliers. Are you saying they all are engaged in a conspiracy to deny you to replace your antiquated ac with another antiquated ac? I just Googled for used air cons in Thailand and found for example numerous offerings posted in Facebook marketplace of used ac units for sale. For example : used Cdu Daikin 30,000 btu for 5,000 baht - "it can be used normally." Don't expect any warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted May 10 Popular Post Share Posted May 10 I have saved enough money to fly to Europe and back by being unable to buy things on sale here. 1 - I wanted to buy a washing machine. The salesman spent a good 10 minutes describing details of the one we liked, we said we'd buy it, and he said they didn't have any. 2 - Saw a kettle I wanted on a shelf in a department store. I'll buy it, I told the assistant. We don't have it, was the response. There it is, I'll take it. Cannot sell. Why? It's the last one and only for display. Then why is it on display if you can't sell it, and if you can't sell it what do you do with it? Blank stare. 3 - Same with a phone I wanted to buy. In the display cabinet, last one, refused to sell it. 4 - Another attempt to buy a phone elsewhere. The display cabinet was locked and they couldn't find the key. Another thing about sales here. If a salesperson is hell-bent on trying to sell you a particular model then they probably don't work for the store at all, despite their uniform, but are planted there by the manufacturer. Smoke and mirrors. 1 1 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Advertise a non-existant product at a low price, hoping to sell a different product at a higher price. In addition displaying a product at a lower price than competitors, but when clicking on it the price is for another of their product or an accessory. Tactics to get you in hoping you’ll do it as you’re already in their shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoke and mirrors. Spent ages with the mrs trying to choose tiles at a famous store, had 3 lots out on the floor, assistant so called hovering about who had put the tiles out.. In the end decided on one to buy- no have was the immediate response, ok have to be the second choice, no have again, this time asked why not- they can't get the materials was the laughable excuse. It will have to be number 3 then, have, have you got 26 sq meters- have. That's it then we will have those, ok but price not same as on shelf gone up. I said we would have them at the price on the shelf or not at all- cannot. Could she ask the manager- no cannot. Walked out and went to Homepro to buy them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perfect picture of trying to buy something in Thailand. A total waste of time, and lacking any logic by the staff. I just can't understand how their mind works when they show you something they don't have. What is the point? And as for a different price to that on display - I have lost count of the times - it must be a hundred over the years - when the price is either not there, doesn't match the actual price you pay, or shelves have two different prices for exactly the same product. It's like shopping in a lunatic asylum, where nothing is real or makes any sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want to lose face by admitting they don't have it, or to disappoint you that's the 'logic' but are happy to waste everyone's time. Same with last fridge purchase from the 'Big' shop. On offer for 2 days with a sign on the fridge, this was day one. Spent time measuring it up talking with the assistant then deciding to buy one- no have. Mrs said oh you sold them all already, er no no have them yet. I have to walk off in these situations, she tore him to shreds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
