3M official store in Lazada and Shopee don't have them. 

Because most masks in Thailand are fake I don't want to buy from an unknown seller.

I lost the name of the company where I used to buy them during the pandemic. 

As gf is spitting blood from the smog I would be happy to find a reliable source. 

Thx

Homepro usually sells them unless out of stock due to the high demand at the moment.

Get them on Lazada. Buy a box.  You can verify the authenticity via the 3M website based on the serial numbers.  I never had a problem.

However - I suggest this instead. N95 mask are essentially single use masks.  Get a facemask with P100 inserts.  The mask fits snugly and the P100 filters do just that - filter 100% of the particulate.

And your GF is "spitting blood?"  Take her to a doctor.

Still the same.

Home pro online out of stock for all models of N95 with valve, physical shop had nothing. 

Pharmacies and shops in the international hospitals sell only cheap low- quality masks, 2 B/mask.

Seems I havt buy from Lazada like @connda

Hardware House Bangna, km 25 Bangna-Trat highway,  near the  entrance to ABAC , has plenty of stock of genuine 3M masks. 

Very friendly,  good service. 

One can order online,  too. They accept COD.

 

On Lazada, I got a bunch of fakes. 

HomePro doesn't have stock anywhere in Bangkok,  neither online. They do have stock in Sri Racha

 

Buy them anywhere.  Then check the serial numbers against the "Safeguard" web page on the 3M website. You can do that on you phone while you're at the store.  Easy breezy!

That's not true. Change "most" to "some."  And don't ever accuse a store of carrying fake products unless you want to entertain a criminal defamation lawsuit.  Just saying.  Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware.  It's up to you to do due diligence.

Your GF needs to see a doctor asap.  Are you a total moron?  

Thanks for the link.

It just confirmed that the masks from Hardware House are genuine. 

They come from Singapore and Korea. 

Those I bought on Lazada come from China, like everything else. 

 

BTW your link is very useful,  but doesn't work on every phone. 

And from your link:

This is the product description from 3M. Individuals cannot buy from them. Did you notice they are talking about crates of 400?

 

As for shopee, 3M official store doesn't sell N95. There are plenty of hustlers selling something they say is N95. Same in Lazada.

My experiences are dismal.

3M VFlex 9105 Mask, N95 standard dust mask (50 pieces/box) 

฿1,032  (Shopee Mall store).

 

Same mask as the 3M site.    And yes, this store seems perfectly legit -- in Mall, on Shopee 5 years, 4.8 rating (2.2K raters).

@retiree most of these fraudulent shops seem perfectly legit.

In mall - so what?

Shop (pretends to be) existing for many years - many fraudsters are in business for many years 

Ratings - lol, ratings are bought cheaply

 

I just tried a second (and last) time to get real N95 masks on Lazada, and got fakes. Very obvious,  as soon as I saw the package. And proven by  

https://safeguard.3m.com/

(the link @connda provided)

 

Afaik, in Lazada you don't get your money back, they give you some useless points/Lazada wallet/credit, whatever,  but not money (I paid COD). Their customer service is closed,  and I am not going to waste days on end trying to reclaim my loss of 571 B.

 

My experience with Lazada and Shoppee has generally been, that brand name products not sold by the official store are invariably fakes.

 

 

 

 

For what its worth.... While recently in the US, I bought soem genuine N95 masks (I had confirmed COVID and was concerned about infecting v ery elderly relatives).

 

Found it so stifling as to be  impossible to wear. I git dizzy just trying. 

 

Had to revert to ordinary masks and basic ventilation and distancing.

Does kind of point out how useless most masks are, in any crowded, or not so crowded environment.  On public trans, in TH, the BTS/MRT or simply waiting on a crowded platform or using an elevator, if only 2 people using the elevator.  Your exhaust will spread to everyone within proximity.

 

They simply do not hold your'exhaust' from escaping, from the mask, or through some mask.  If a decent one, it might keep covid droplets in, not leaving through the mask, but not from exited out the rest of the mask's seal to face or lack of.

 

They do make N95s with exhaust vents, but that only protects the wearer from smog or what not.

 

That why during the beginning of, 2020, I simply avoided people, using extreme social distancing.  Not that I was really concerned at any time.  Nothing one could really do realistically, to not be exposed, or expose anyone else.  I did avoid old & unhealthy looking folks.

 

@Lorry  Only buy from LAZMALL vendors, as refunds, when paying COD, to your bank, or wallet are never a problem.   Have done a few times.

If the mask fits tight, it does hold your 'exhaust'.

Admittedly, that's a big if.

 

And the mask does protect me from the others.  Last week, a guy on the BTS couldn't stop coughing. Of course, he had to sit next to me.

I got up and moved somewhere else,  and I was glad I was wearing a mask.

I just had HMPV last month,  not dangerous at all,  but definitely no fun.

 

Thx for the advice about Lazmall.
