no wonder shopee dare to keep increasing the price. so many still have the thinking that shopee is the cheapest

if really do homework and compare (like someone above with calculations), actually nowadays shopee the most expensive

it's too bad because shopee used to be heavy competition with lzd so end up both giving competitive price. unfortunately consumers now just surrender to shopee's gimmick, end up now shopee monopolise and less price competition (in fact people happily spend more at shopee)

very surprised people willing to pay more at shopee, again i blame it on the shopee gimmick, blinding consumers

yes i actually had the same thinking as you last time. shopee comes out with more hits and choices that suits my searches compared to lzd. but i realised in order to tackle the lackluster search by lzd, i use shopee as my screening search first. once i find the item i want, i use keyword from shopee and apply in lzd search. easier

yes lzd has less review because no gimmick like in shopee for rewarding coins by reviewing. end up nowadays even with many reviews at shopee i can't trust them because poor quality review, people just want to get few coins so simply give reviews. i found lzd reviews are more critical. and those without review, i realise lzd offer better support for returns if item is not good. many times shopee seller don't honour returns and headache when shopee CS also side with shopee seller. and the negative reviews is negligible because end up they still retain preferred status

surprisingly i hardly ever get to use free shipping vouchers from shopee. always either out of stock or price of item too low so unable to use the free shipping voucher

on the other hand, lazada is the one i can easily get free shipping vouchers, even without minimum spend. and i noticed although price of item in shopee maybe cheaper, but because lazada can stack vouchers many vouchers together, end up cheaper. i guess because i got used to lazada system, so able to milk more from lazada. again, for me i am not trying to promote lazada. i am just surprised many buyers only strictly shop from one platform (shopee) but never bother learning another platform. indirectly that causes less competition and end up shopee gets all the last laugh because buyers still happily buy from them although other platform maybe cheaper, vice versa. i want competition to happen so consumers like us can enjoy more competitive (cheaper) price hehe

if you are familiar with lazada, during 12.12 actually you can collect platform voucher and bank voucher and free shipping and some other shop vouchers. so actually if you know how to collect the vouchers and stack appropriately, the discounts can be more than at shopee

and no need to compete because vouchers at lzd do not disappear like in shopee after collection. and i don't need to become special members of lazada or anything also (so no binding as well)
