fforest Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 (edited) All the free stuff is on the app...Not on a desktop... Every day you check in on the app you can get coins that can then be applied to get free shipping....And the coins add up over time...There are also some silly tasks to do to get more coins each day....All this only takes a few minutes... The way to get to this page is to click on account in the bottom right... There is also the lucky egg where you can collect gems that has to do with getting better vouchers for more discounts on buying stuff....These also add up same as the coins....Also with silly tasks to do to get more.... There is also (Lazada land-Where you build a farm) and games to play to win more stuff and waste hours and hours every day.....lol......No thanks I will pass..... But the coins and gems only take a minute or two or three to stockpile every day for free shipping and discounts.....Pretty cool really.... I saved a few hundred baht on my last order on Lazada between the coins and the vouchers..... I don't think there is any free shipping on Shopee....But sometimes prices are so much cheaper on Shopee that shipping costs just don't matter......Yea once in a blue moon you can find free shipping on Shopee but not often... So from now on I am going to be mostly a Lazada shopper where as before it was about 50/50.... Edited November 13 by fforest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fforest Posted November 14 Author Share Posted November 14 I forgot to say there are 3 sets of possible vouchers you can get on anything you buy for discounts... #1...There are the usual lame store vouchers you see when shopping... They show up well on a desktop... #2....There are the company-wide vouchers best seen on the app on the account page.. #3....There are the vouchers you can buy with your saved gems on the Lucky Egg page.....Click redeem which is just right of the EARN MORE button to see them....

biggles Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 The coins seem to have an expiry time so unless u buy regularly you don't get the benefit. I prefer Lazada as they have COD, if the item doesn't arrive you don't have the hassle of trying to get your money back. Lots of scam sites, ridiculous, low prices where the seller wants you to pay outside the Lazada system. No cod there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcebwithu Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 I see the occasional "coins" discount show up when I go to pay for an order. All my orders are via the website rather than the app, so the coins are still somehow getting applied to my account. The reason I don't use the app for anything but topping up my Lazada Wallet is because I find the app all but useless for looking at details of the product I'm interested in ordering. I get more info in a cleaner format using the website. Only reason I use the app for topping up Wallet is because their programmers managed to screw up that functionality on the website.

You are 100% correct..... A desktop is 1000% better for looking at things.....But Anything you save in your cart from the desktop will also be saved on the cart on the app....... So very easy to buy from the app... Lazadas app has ALL the discounts.....The desktop website hardly has any..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been lucky in that I've not encountered a seller that wanted me to pay outside the system. Something I would never do as Lazada has a very good system for handling returns and refunds. For that reason I never bother with COD, but instead always use their Lazada Wallet system for payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to mention the same seller promo coupons are also available on their website, so I'll always check to see and use any that are available when I order.

I just pay with my debit card. The few times I needed a refund it was restored to my account within a week. The main reason I don't use COD is we're out and about a lot in the daytime. When your purchase is already paid for they'll just leave the package with the gate guards and we'll pick it up when we get home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that Lazada Wallet was not available to Farang. Has this changed or did you come up with a work around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farangs can use the wallet now....That is if you don't mind some pointless hoop jumping.......I am not much of a hoop jumper myself, so I don't use it.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do the same for pretty much the same reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @fforest posted I believe foreigners can now use Wallet. Back when they started enforcing the govt's "know your customer" rule the system would only accept a Thai National ID number, so I used my lady's ID. I like Wallet for the convenience of payment. It also used to offer an occasional bonus credit when you used the system, but it's been probably a year since they've had any promo connected to Wallet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, Lazada runs promotions every month on the day that matches the month number. So for for December that would be 12/12. If you're thinking about ordering sometime in the week leading up to one of these promotions it can often times be worth holding off until the promo day to order. Usually the seller has a banner above the itme price advertising the fact the item will be discounted on the promo day, so you'll know if ahead of time if the item you're interested in is going to go on sale.

This is true and I do this too.....But the great thing is the coins and vouchers still work on the 11-11 12-12 4-4 etc days so mix it all in and you can score some very seriously discounted stuff..

I remember the old days when I used to sit around cuting coupons out of the newspaper. The big day was Sunday as that was the day when stores packed the newspaper with their respective coupons. Simpler times, when Start Trek communicators were still Sci Fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the main point I have been trying to make in this thread is they give you free coins and gems every day just for checking in and doing nothing....Maybe 10 seconds of time to get the free ones.... And more if you want to do stupid tasks, but this is not necessary.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
