Lazada: 3rd party shops/seller - Reliability experiences?

[Turkleton]

I've bought a few items on Lazada in the past, even expensive ones.

Everything went well, cash on delivery...BUT these items were all "in Stock" and sold by LAZADA itself.

Now, I want to buy a few Android boxes (yes I could order them from China, but..).

But these TV boxes are all sold by different 3rd party sellers and they show up only as "Available" not as "In stock" like before.

There is also no delivery time given.

I didn't even found a single shop, where these boxes were in stock.

So it seems, they all order "just in time" frome some wholesaler (or China ?).

Has anyone experiences with such only "available" items?

Or somebody knows an "offline" shop which has them definitely in stock?

Especially interested in these with Amlogic chipset:

If you are in BKK at pantip plaza are many shops who sell all kinds of android boxes. Also there a plenty of online shops who selling but of course it is always a problem of trust.

thanks, I will be in BKK this weekend and Pantip is on my todo list.

However, I hope I will find some shops who are selling the minix X8.

I prefer Minix X8 since it's build quality is usually the best, compared with the rest of the bunch.

Tukcom Pattaya sells only the oudated X7

If you can buy it online in thailand then you probably find it also at pantip.

By the way the MiniX, has it a good wifi? I got the mk908ii stick, the stick is very nice because you can just use the usb power of the tv and it is practically invisible behind the TV but the wifi is so bad. If the wifi AP is just in another room you wont get more then 2-3mbit.
