I bought a 150 baht mop and bucket, 5,000 good reviews, fake, who makes a fake mop? i was about to buy vitamins, Gemini confirmed that they are flooded with fakes incl the specific one i was buying. Anyway, be careful out there

Im tired of them advertising, you go through th whole process and your witing for it to be dispathed- 5 days later still nothing, chase them up "sorry no have" ! seen this so many times of late.

Lazada had a shipping issue in my area, everytime the item was sent by "LEX" thats Lazadas own shipping, they wouldnt deliver! kept saying no one home etc - I had to go to the warehouse and get it, staff there said "dont buy on Lazada until end of July- wont get delivered". I switched most of my online stuff to Shopee now instead.

Well said, Scuba.
My,er, "favourite" is electronics. I've been burned twice. I bought an OPP0 phone a few years back, and the Samsung tablet was made by Samsvng.
And the USB flash drives or TF/SD cards which say 128gb but are only 16Gb.
Look closely at the fonts.
And Lazada doesn't care.

Sorry to be an ahole, but why not take a walk to local shops all over the place selling mops? Why buy a mop on Lazada?

But let me finish on a positive note. Thanks for the heads up on fake goods.

I once bought a Samsung phone on Lazada. It was a genuine Samsung phone, but the serial number indicated it was intended for the Korean market. It had also been rooted and the rootkit couldn't be removed. The seller accepted it for return.

I bought what was advertised as a Seagate hard drive. It would not re-format for use with Time Machine on my Mac and became completely un-useable. A serial number check returned no result. It was a fake. The seller accepted it for return.

No more electronics from Lazada for me.

You just gotta buy from the official company stores and then no problems.

I posted this elsewhere the other day.

Counterfeit is a real problem in Thailand, maybe the whole of Asia.

Shopee is full of counterfeit.

Currently I'm in search of 12V2A DVE adapters, and since I have the genuine ones, it easy for me to see the counterfeit.

Out of 10 random sellers I have found just ONE that sells the genuine stuff, so most likely there are many more.

The first 3 orders were returned, now I ask them in the chat to post a picture of the item they gonna send me, and 80% fails straight away already.

If it looks near genuine, I ask them to put it on a weighing scale, and that is where the other 19% fails. Unbelievable

You can prevent the worst scams by bying through Lazmall shops only. Not every one who lives in walking distance to a mall, and Lazada is great for anything and everything, you just have to know where you buy from and the risk if not.

No Brand Name = red flag

Some products have no brand name.

All products are supposed to have a brand name, don't they?

I'm sure the manufacturers would sue if products attached a fake product to their brand name, even if Lazada does nothing.

This one is LazMall and gives the Brand Name:

Paus Biru ... these guys know what they're doing!

This mop has no brand name:

The other day I was looking for Whey protein isolate, and currently Shopee is full of counterfeit.

You think this is genuine> Cost double from legit source.

Or this one, read the reviews where is already said it's milk powder, yet Shopee just keeps it listed.

I have recently reported 3 counterfeit DVE adapter sellers to shopee, with clear evidence. They say the item was removed, in fact they removed just one, and pretend they didn't receive the complaint of the other 2, yet all order numbers, product codes and evidence of all 3 was in the single report.

If you want a decent quality mop in Thailand, you need to bring it from overseas, or order it on Amazon.
