buy from DirectD, price almost similar and more reliable with physical shop~ you can also at least try on spot first

Actually the price difference between DirectD and online is not exactly the same. For the model of phone which I am interested in (LG V20), Direct D is selling at RM1,999 while online Lazada is selling for about RM1500+/-, a difference of RM500.

Personal experience, thus, anecdotal.
Had to cancel a lazada order of a significantly cheaper p10 (1800) and bought from dierectd instead (2500).
I was aware of the price being too good to be true.
As expected, they only ship the order with just the phone. Non of box sets (charger etc). I'm okay with that as i could still buy a third party charger (well, still huawei's, still having supercharge) and still being ahead in price.
The delivery was good too. Listed within 3 days.
More importantly, it was advertised with 1 year manufacturer warranty.
Problem started the next day when the tracker shows the expected delivery was changed till next week instead of within 3 days.
The deal breaker was when suddenly later on the day, the warranty changed to no warranty.
Thank God lazada being reasonable and actually sided with me and helped cancelled the purchase even without screenshots (the changes was unexpected and the item listing was deleted).

If you found a good deal there, go for it. But be wary, and adjust your expectation.
As a rule of thumb, it's better if you could cod.

Good sharing. A price difference of RM700 is surely a lot. Though I have read about people receiving their phones when buying from Lazada though. For the LG V20, the price which was paid at RM1,4xx is about RM500+ cheaper than Direct D (RM1,999). I'm still thinking what exactly are the benefits of paying RM500 extra for a phone. It's quite a lot really. One can buy a low-range smartphone or tablet for RM500.

How to know if it's a "trusted" seller? Also, say if the phone is faulty we have to ship the thing back to the seller right?

Say if in a really unlucky case when you transferred the funds to the seller and you don't get your phone, will Lazada compensate on behalf of the cheat?

Lastly, can anyone verify if this seller is "trusted" ? Price seems to be very good.

Only RM1,180 for the LG V2 when the average price is hovering around RM1,500.

I have bought the P9 Plus, the Google Pixel and the nexus 6P in lazada before... never face any issues and the price mostly rm300-rm400 cheaper than what a physical shop like DirectD sells. Never faced any issue. As long as you do your research and find trusted online sellers, you are fine.

With this listing, the price difference is RM800.

Direct D is selling the LG V20 for RM2,000. The price from this seller in Lazada is RM1,180.

the link you gave is the V10, not V20

Yes, I realised i messed up. As the price is too good to be true, the V10 has provided the explanation on the low price.

Anyway, the correct listing of the V20 :-

http://www.lazada.com.my/lg-v20-h990-64gb-...0.0.dQvEvb&ff=1

RM1,471. Any thoughts if this seller can be trusted? Not in a hurry to get a phone but will buy one before end of this year for tax relief. Not too sure if the price will drop further approaching year end.

Whenever you shop online, click on the seller's name and have a look at the product he/she sells as it will contain rating, comments and review made. if the rating is high and the number of positive reviews are also high, that means you have less of a chance to have a bad experience with the seller. Even if you do, you can contact the seller to clarify or even make a report to the online site you are buying from.

make sense right?

Okay thanks. Will see how it goes. The seller for the LG V2 in the link above is TechInSEA. There are only 2 reviews from customers. Not very convincing.
