I just bought a fish pond pump locally for 680 baht. I should have checked price before, but price on Lazada is 400 baht including delivery, a 280 baht difference.

Usually can get free delivery also 

It will have parts missing and no plug.

Usually not for COD, but it's a nominal amount anyway.

Rubbish.

yeah payment method is irrelevant, you have to collect the vouchers first 

Collect the Lazada coins and Lazada Rewards money and dont forget the vouchers  and free shipping.....

 

Put all these discounts together and very often I have gotten between 20 - 70% off my Lazada orders.....

 

Trust me folks I have got 50-60% off loads of times.....

 

Not every order can I manage huge discounts but I do get them pretty often......Shopee is not to shabby too with discounts sometimes.....

I Only use COD and I get free shipping on almost every order Lazada or Shopee....On rare occasions you will have to change sellers to get the free shipping...

Please don’t let this be another CoD thread / debate….  We’re at least 6 months away from the recycling of that one… 

 

We first have to go through the ‘Lazada wallet’ debate…

Sounds like a full time job.

 

I'm so tired of everywhere I go, or shopping online, you have to click, collect subscribe or claim your points amd rewards. 

 

Is it worth it in the end? 

 

I have started to use one credit card for all my shopping, where I get automatically cash back no matter where i buy something.

 

I trashed Agoda couple of days ago, no more

I use them a lot, mostly COD. I've had to return broken and wrong item's  a few times for credit. Be sure if it's something that might get broken, take pics of the package and opening process to get the refund credited to your "wallet. Unfortunately, as a non-Thai you cannot retrive the funds as it must me by a Thai national. The wife and I have tried it many times and the process is daunting. (Scanning her ID card at the right time, for the right quality is near impossible. I've over 1000 Baht accrued and hope to use it some day. I shall not surrender.

If your going to be buying 4 or 5 things over 100 baht in value be sure and snag the Lazada Rewards money.....They will give you up to 175 baht free money to be used on your next purchase....But these offers change by the day...

Still, Lazada is the only place Im shopping online in Thailand. Super happy with their service, but stay away from the clickbaits, to time consuming

I've never done online shopping but there is a guy in my Condo block who has his own parcel bin in the lobby. Every day I walk past it's got parcels in it so shopaholic springs to mind 😆 

If I don't need it right away, more like I can't find it, where we live, then it's online, and usually LAZ.  Knowing if I don't like or not up to my expectations, I can simply send it back.

 

Added plus, don't need to leave the house to do neither, accept or return.  COD is nice of course, and being home isn't a problem.   They know us so much, that if not home, they call, if not fragile, drop over the wall, and wife will transfer payment.

 

She's even missed their call, and they send her a msg, we delivered, need to transfer money ... 

 

Yea, we order that much crap online   And yet to find anything cheaper locally.

Lazada and Shopee are both addictive, always something to buy, i almost bought toothpaste today which I could easily get in a shop

I have no problems with refunds to my Lazada wallet, then sent to my bank account. You must be doing something wrong.

I had the same problem 15,000 baht refund sent to my wallet, and I couldn't activate the wallet.

 

Lazada gave me the answer (only works using the phone app). 

Go to "account" then "wallet"

Tap on the amount - don't try to activate.

Choose "withdraw" then complete the deposit/withdrawal form.

 

I can't remember exactly, but I think I got a OTP from my bank, then the withdrawal was received a few days later.

Same here, but I normally leave any refunds in the wallet and use that money to pay for my next purchase(s).

He's not wrong though..... I compared things I got from Lazada with exactly same at Homepro, a substantial savings.

The last time i tried to withdraw a refund it asked for a PIN number. What PIN number. In the end i just spend it.

All the free shipping on Lazada and Shopee is a game changer....Unless you catch a sale at HomePro or Big C they just cant match Lazada or Shopee prices with the free shipping.....Plus the vouchers and coins discounts makes HomePro look even more over priced....

Do all these discounts only work if you purchase through the phone app (As opposed to a PC)?

Yup!

 

I hate the App so do all my searching on the PC. Add to the cart then over to the App to get the coins and vouchers, then order.

Yep.....You must order through the phone app for most of the discounts...

So no Beer tonight? Better to support local Shops even if it is some Baht more expensive. I buy only online if I can't get it local.

I don't mind a reasonable markup, but not nearly double the price on Lazada, that's just greed and they end up pricing themselves out of business.
