Thaivisa to launch new online shopping portal

Dear Members and visitors,

Just in time for the holiday season, Thaivisa will be soon be launching 'Thaivisa Shopping' - an new online shopping portal.

We already have a wide and varied selection of products lined up - perfect for Christmas presents for friends and family or great if you just fancy treating yourself during the festive season!

But before we make the website live, we'd like to know what specific products or items would be of interest to you?

Kitchenware? Gadgets? Clothing? You name it, let's have an open discussion, a kind of brainstorming session, if you will, on the kinds of products you would be interested in seeing in our shopping portal.

As always - feedback from our members is what matters to us the most, so feel free to get involved and join the discussion.

Additionally, if you happen to know any distributors or suppliers of quality products with a track record in good customer service then we'd be interested to hear about them.

Thanks

George

Sounds good George.................

When are you planning to do some new TV T-shirts/polo shirts? There was a thread running not too long ago reference designs, and although it was tongue-in-cheek, there were some great ideas there.

As for categories, you might want to think about IT gadgets (PC & Mobile) that are hard to get outside Bkk for all us under privileged living Up-Country.

Pickles by post.

Branston pickle. Original. In the big jars.

If there is a way you can by-pass import duty on outside products, I'm all ears.

Cheers.

This is all for delivery, right?

Household gen. sets with switching stystem (either for sale or rent),

UPS's,

power surge protectors,

Batteries (not what is avaiable in 7-11)

Battery chargers

water filteration systems,

Good selection of bottled water, i.e Fiji, Hildon, Gerolstiener, Farrarelle etc.

maid services,

mobile car wash services,

handy man services.

Fresh organic food delivery.

A deal with Tire Rack.com to consolidate shipping of tires/tyres into Thailand.

Based on posts I see here, I'd say your best seller would be Speaking electronic translator, with built-in "automatic personal negotiator" logic that has specialized programs for Visa applications, Driving tests, Dowry negotiations, Jet Ski damage incidents, and Tea Money stops - simply let the device do the talking and it will tell you how much to hand over at the end. Currency conversion features a bonus.

Simple. Send by China Post or Hong Kong Post, marked as a gift and valued under 1000 baht

Probably impossible but what I would buy are quality dairy products, priority nr 1 butter, I know, getting dairy products around the country chilled would be a logistical nightmare, the butter in tesco-big C has a vile aftertaste, lurpac imported from Denmark is ok, but the price!!!! An alternative is what I miss need, regards Simon

Paying for goods is a big problem as most of us expats do not have a credit card and cannot get one so online shopping is a major problem

Kitchen items: iron frying pans, bread makers, food processors, casserole dishes. Food items: spices, pickles, canned salmon, sausages, cheese, salamis.

I would be a customer with everything except electronics carried by Invade.

They have earned my customer loyalty.

They deserve it and will continue to get my support whether or not they continue to be a sponsor after the forum store provides an opposition platform.

Our system will allow payment at 7-Eleven, Tesco-Lotus and Debit cards. Also Paypal and credit cards.

COD via Thailand Post is also an option in the future.

Thanks for all ideas so far, keep them coming!

Cheers

What about Farang food, ie tins of corn beef, although they are plentiful in Pattaya, you cannot get them in Bangkok.

Decent bedding, ESPECIALLY flat sheets of tasteful design and colour! Preferably plain colours. Super thin duvets and their covers, without these gory cartoon characters, flowers or horrible psychedelic designs! One can get good flat sheets and the top shops, at a TOP price which I'm not prepared to pay. B2000 and up.

They've already got those, but I think you gotta marry the unit to activate all the features.

Well Tshirts and Thai Language CDs did not seem to sell well on the last TV online shop;

Most Thai websites you can make bank deposit and send the slip on Lazada.com you can pay on delivery. TV should be able to allow bank deposits.

[krisb]

Jeez,with all these things just open a department store George. I'm happy to work on a checkout.

I'd like a t shirt with my avatar and username on it. Hopefully I don't get belted for it.

Yes, we will offer bank deposits, 7/11, Tesco-Lotus, Internet banking, VISA, MasterCard, AMEX, debit cards and hopefully COD (pay to postman at delivery).

What product lines/categories/products do you guys wish? We need your feedback to get this right.

Cheers

Thai visa t shirts with my avatar on it and or my username.

And a job working there.

[krisb]

How about selling shares in the forum George?

[seajae]

hard to get decent cookware here, roasting dish that isnt stainless steel, pots/pans that have a heavy base and not thin, basically all cooking gear. Various IT bits and pieces, software that isnt a copy, good batteries, decent herbs and spices(now have to get them posted from Australia), extra large clothes(boxers, jocks, T/polo shirts, thais are small and so are all their sizes, extra large here is closer to an aussie medium), bloody flat sheets, on hot nights duvets are too heavy and the mozzies are too bitey to not have something covering you up,pre wash stain remover(spray on like vanish/preen for clothes), disinfectant(can only get dettol here). George there is shitloads of gear that is needed here that is simply unavailable.
