We have a thread for Amazon US. Thinking maybe you guys have snagged a couple of good buys at Lazada.
I purchase a lot of stuff from Lazada... From keychains to headphone pads to pressure cookers! (I'm based in SG so shipping here is more simple) For Bulk orders, I prefer Qoo10 (and other Chinese sites) My wife prefers Zalora for clothes (free shipping for returns) Reebonz for luxury items If online price is equal to the physical store, then its online for me (especially if shipping is free)
I've bought a couple of stuff from Lazada, and recently during their 11.11 sale. (watchout for 12.12). I would say, go for items that is from a known brand. I bought a 599 Japan-made Casio watch and a 499 Vietnam/China-made Casio watch. both are directly sold by Lazada and has authenticity proof or whatever they call that. I'd opt for that. In comparison, I purchased items from unknown brands, a watch, a 3d sunglass (idk what you call that), a bluetooth earphone, etc, ALL already felt it would break in a few days upon touching them for the first time.
I bought a Samsung 850 EVO 250GB for Php3,930 during their 11.11 sale. The price before the sale was Php4,988.
generally, i buy items from lazada that i know what to expect when the item gets to me. usually, routine commodities. from experience, diapers (huggies) are cheaper in lazada if you catch them on sale. same for some electronics and mobile phones (lenovo units).
My wife usually hoards Huggies diapers and baby wipes whenever they're on sale. Purchased a Canon G3000 printer recently for 8,649 Pesos (SRP: 10,000). It came with an additional bottle of black ink. Now I don't have to worry about expensive ink cartridges.
I purchased a treadmill that used to be 100k and went down to 60k and bought it. A little over a year later it broke. But was fixed by an electrician with just 500 pesos. Now it's just sitting there, and someday I will get on it and start using it.
