Best Posts in Thread: Online shopping - Lazada v Shopee

As we live quite remotely we do a fair amount of online shopping, generally using Lazada or, less frequently, Shopee.
Returning stuff and getting a refund from Lazada is a PITA and can take up to 3 months for them to re-credit your bank.
Much to my dismay we had occasion to return something to Shopee today, who will collect the item tomorrow and my bank was re-credited within 1 hour.
Happy Days!

 

Yes, much better to pay using local currency and COD. But once we had a local friend collect the item from Shoppe for us - he paid in cash. When we opened it, it was a rock! We had not ordered a rock (there are many lying around for free). So now we video the opening of every parcel - and recently this helped get a refund when we received half of a set of items we paid for.

The only failure we ever had was Shein - when my wife returned a dress and the seller never refunded. We found Shein to be of no use in trying to get the money back. Shopee is MUCH better at refunding.
