Ridiculous things you buy on Lazada and Shopee

Featured Replies

ALERT…. Watch out for thumb drives and sad drives being offered in large memory sizes at very low prices. 
I knew it was a fake, but I wanted to know ‘how,’ so I bought a 4T SSD drive for about 300 baht. 
When I plugged it in, it showed up as a 4T external drive. I formatted it. Twice, just to make sure. It still showed up as a 4T SSD drive.

I began writing to it. Copied over 5-6 large folders. The File Manager showed them in the right place.  Showed the correct numbers,too.
I then shut down the computer. Re-started but… 

… the computer would no longer even recognize the drive. Nothing we could do would correct the problem.

I recently bought this portable vacuum cleaner that was supposed to have been a name brand, but in Lazada it was a deliberately misspelled Sharp, and I didn't pick that up. It is absolute Chinese junk and even though I paid 500 baht for it is probably worth about 30 baht. It might be able to suck up and ant but anything heavier than that, it's completely hopeless. 

 

Having said that I'm getting typically good service from Lazada, they are allowing me to return it for a refund and I buy a lot of stuff on Lazada, most of it is acceptable quality, and some of it is excellent.

i have a similar one from Lazada around the same price and is very good, way better than the price, if the reviews for your vacuum were good then you were unlucky

Been ordering all manner of stuff COD from Lazada for many years. Never once had a problem.

I wonder how much spyware the thumb drive auto downloaded onto your computer before self destructing its own file system.

Seen the same things selling as Bosch and Makita on both Shopee and Lazada, ans kitchen things labelled Tafel etc. 

For @KhunLA, I bought a Hafele breadmaker from Shopee, was getting good loaves after a few disasters, mainly because I did not follow the instructions. After 10 months, cracks appeared on the lid, and following emails to Shopee, Hafele in Bangkok, Germany and Turkey, I got it replaced. It does have a yoghurt setting on it, but I did not try it yet as you need raw milk for a successful outcome.

Works perfectly with full fat milk. Just add some shop bought yogurt.

It's always a possibility. I spend a lot of money on computer defenses: anti-virus, anti-malware, etc., etc. In theory, nothing executable gets in unless I authorize it. In theory...

I use paid services as I found the free ones had too many holes, but I still keep my fingers crossed.

My wife bought one of those vacuum robot pieces of junk. Only worked for about 5 minutes before the battery ran out and it hardly picked up anything from the floor, not even worth recharging. It is faster, easier and cheaper to just use a broom every morning. The robot ended up in the recycle for someone else to have a go struggling with.

Get the refund first, then give the 1* rating, with reason.

Easier to get the wife to do it, but the xiaomi is very good, afterwards it heads home to recharge

included postage so 38 baht total, i never pay postage. It's for mixing the coffee so there's no air channels

Yes you are correct. It goes into your Return & Refunds folder.

They can't have given you a double refund, something's not right

I just bought a 500b air quality monitor on there that was shipped from China.  Should have known better for that price.  A lot of the readings were faked as far as I can tell.  Watched some youtube videos about it and that was basically their conclusion as well.  Ended up sending it back.  Will see if I get a refund or if they claim there is nothing wrong with it.

 

For anyone else out there looking to get an air quality monitor, if it's less than around 3000b it's probably garbage.  Using proper sensors costs money.

No, because it showed first as purchase, then as a refund, it did not alter the Wallet's balance.........000

This E5 robot vacuum is very good, I'd recommend it

Xiaomi is definately a better choice then the very popular Roomba vaccum from the company iRobot. Because iRobot has filed for bankruptcy so beware if the Roomba's suddenly start to get sold at crashed prices.

iRobot didn't file for bankruptcy because their product was substandard, but because they couldn't compete with China prices

so what ? that won't make any difference for the consumer who could need a spare or repair and end's up in having a closed door for after sales due to the bankruptcy. And you think that the Roomba was Made in Seattle or Made in London ? 🤣

Nope, any milk will do, I used Meiji in mine, produced fine yoghurt.

But you do need a tablespoon of starter stirred in.

Any active yoghurt will do as starter, then just use the last spoon of yoghurt for the next starter. (Yolida or Bulgaria)

  • 2 weeks later...

After ordering a supposed "Makita" grass strimmer from Lazada, the 3/4 scale flimsy toy that arrived put me off from ordering anything else from online bulk shopping sites, tbh. 😜

Anything electrical, mechanical, clothing, shoes, etc., I'd rather go to an actual shop and see / try before I buy.

That’s what prompt pay etc is for. 

Over the years I have ordered 160+ items from Shopee & Lazada 4 have been crap, If that had been Temu it would have been the other way around.
