This thread is pretty quiet today despite being a sale day. Managed to grab some essential items using the vouchers.
I don't know about others but currently as for me ,
I will save $$$ as precaution.Who knows tomorrow or next week full MCO ? why buy stuff you 'wanted' ? buy what you need.
- Grocery food is advice to buy fresh 1 time in 1 go once a week and not through shope.If you calculate , without all seller shipping fee , how are you going to buy multiple item ? In 1 shipping ? No way to buy vegetable on shope.Only dry food like milo , milk , some cookies and etc.
Beside , now MCO , every place are quite dangerous IMO since our current condition with the loss of contact tracing.
- Buying online is also risky , if product arrived to be defaced/faulty , you have to send back to the courier (if heavy item over 5kg will cost rm20).
Most normal seller do not have return form from shope except you are buying from mall or mart.If you bought a tin of Jacob and the biscuits are crush during the delivery , I don't think you will purposely go to the courier , fill the form , wait for weeks or weeks on MCO for refund.
- With it , became the risk of (going out to reach poslaju courier ) .Some may stay 10km away.If you tell at road block reason 'to courier' , sure got either saman or U-turn.
- IMO , some are septic on buying during Covid where product are pack at Shope warehouse with possible of Foreigner Worker involve.Product pass though multiple hub , everyone touch it from pack , state courier divide , send to your door step = multiple contact of your product.
When the product arrive , you surely need to spray some disinfection at the box.Whether the food is safe to consume , is different story.
-No attractive voucher , you just check , most voucher are 5-10% discount with max capped 1000 coins only.Only 1 voucher with 8% with 5-6000 max capped.
No free shipping for all seller and even 1 also not enough.There is no shipping pass for All seller to purchase too.
-troublesome buying.How troublesome ?
- Search for cheap items
- Calculate total item price
- Topup the least amount to shope pay
- Apply cashback but only get 1000 coins
- Have to pay shipping since there is no free shipping.Only prefer seller and mall but price is more expensive
- Wait for delivery , sometimes takes weeks because of MCO
- Sometimes need to chat with the seller to confirm order
- A covid risk when item pass around through courier especially food.( I see a lot of CNY cookies and those can food )
- A risk of Item faulty with MCO , seller may reject refund and all the trouble to call to shope to explain them.
- A risk going to pick the item from courier if you are working and some can't pick up since 10km courier location limit.
What else I miss.?
Summarize , if really Full MCO like last year , shope and laz may get higher sales order but not as high as last year since seller currently suffering from loss will increase price , buyer will reduce spending due to unknown of MCO.
IMO ,everyone want to save $ now , and some even worry of job loss , still lavishly spend ?
