mrcharliemofo Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Which one is best ? I've used Lazada for about the last 6-7 years and to be honest I can't really fault them, I've bought 2-3 things that were total shite but that was my fault as the price was too good to be true and they got binned but generally I'm more than happy with them. My only complaint really is that their sizes are all over the place, some of the things that are advertised as S or even XS may well be small on an overweight farang lady but they hang off a 45kg Thai bird and the stuff from China is just cheap through and through. So I've never used Shopee yet, so to those that have used both what are the pro's and cons of both ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fforest Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) Shopee seems to be cheaper for most things,sometimes a lot cheaper... I now try to buy expensive things on Shopee if I can and pay COD.....Sometimes I still buy on Lazada for cheap things because I like to just pay at 7-11.... Sometime only Lazada or only Shopee has something so you don't have a choice..... Its not to difficult to check out both before you buy..... Also only use COD for expensive stuff...Getting refunds is a major drag at both companies since they banned farangs from using their wallets...

tko Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Does Shopee have English as an option on their website, yet? That's the main reason I've stuck to Lazada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code_slayer_bkk Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Never used Shopee .. Lazada serves my purposes for cheap stuff ... anything more than about 5K baht .. I will just go to a shop / store(s) to find what I want ... Beach gal always tells me don't use Lazada .. they are to expensive .... but, I have never had a cancelled order, they deliver really fast ... easy to pay them with COD ... very easy to use ... plus, I always read the feedback from the people who has bought the product before .. google translate get a work-out .. lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyes4thais Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I used Lazada quite a bit whilst in lock down, got addicted buying bits for my Honda CRF1000 (Africa Twin) in UK. If I remember rightly i did get one Item cancelled, But it was COD so no biggy. I did have another item COD where only half of it came, of course I had already paid the 43b before i realised 55555! I few weeks back I bought a 32" Smart TV for my bar in Sutuk. I just looked on Shopee and it is 300b more. (same spec not same model) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toy Boy Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I use Lazada all the time, but for some reason I can't get Shopee to work. I find something I want, try to buy it, and the whole thing just seems to freeze up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I made up an order for Shopee and had to cancel it because they would not accept my Bank of America credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcharliemofo Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 I've got to admit that Lazada seems way better for me, I can't even get Shopee to accept my address, it's definitely not as user friendly as Lazada for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esco Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I use both and find Shopee often cheaper priced than Lazada. What annoys me is that part of the App is in English but all promotions and other messages are still mainly in Thai. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me shopee is doing you a BIG FAVOR by not accepting your card.....Getting refunds is awful......Use COD only with shopee....If they dont deliver the stuff it does not cost you one baht.... Like I said before I only sometimes pay at 7-11 ahead of times with Lazada for cheap stuff where I am fine with letting the refund sit there and do nothing till some future date when I decide to go through the hassle of retrieving it....

I bought some things at my local Tesco and by mistake bought and paid for some out of date milk, I realised before I'd left the till and asked if I could change it for one in date. Next time I'll just accept the out of date stuff because it was as though I'd shot or buggered all of the staff's Grandmoms on their deathbeds just trying to get them to exchange it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tko Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) I've had a few things refunded from Lazada, either due to failure to ship or a faulty product. It takes about a week. Edit: I use a webcard from a local bank account. Edited November 17, 2020 by tko Added info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcharliemofo Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I gave the Chinese a final chance on Lazada and ordered some underwear for a 'friend' who is 43kg tops wet through, so S was ordered. No idea what size they've delivered today but it sure ain't small. I'm not going to try but I'm a 34-36in waist and I reckon they'd be too big for me. So if anyone on here is into maybe a bit of cross dressing or they have a larger than usual friend then let me know and I'll drop them off somewhere for you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
