Has anyone bought anything from this site? Seems too cheap but what they’re selling is not high value stuff. Even so it is too cheap. Are they trying to get CC details?

Are these scams on Facebook and how?

Noticed quite a few “large discounts” offer on Facebook. As they say “when it is too good to be true….”

However these are always linked to the official company’s FB. Samsung’s, Apple’s, Switch, Huawei. Not in the marketplace.

They’re always free delivery and COD.

In fact I tried a few, no payment info requested. No email confirmation of the “order confirmation”.

How the hell can they link it to the official company’s FB? Are they just after my info?

B650 motherboards in Malaysia are still way overpriced! Can get identical board on Amazon and Shopee (Japanese dealer) - both brand new at significant discounts (300-500). Both have return policies. There is warranty cover as well.

Is it "safe" to buy "local warranty" Samsung 870 EVO Sata SSD on shoppee? Or are there shops that "reset" the SMART data on these SSD to make it look like new (like they do fo a lot of enterprise HDD). Or can SSD SMART data can be wiped and make it look like new? (Ditto for NVME ??)

Any experience with this shop?

Any experience with this shop?

Seems like they have valid warranty claims but must go through shop. Driver QR AND SN.

At least the DOM of the HDD are within 3 years.

At least they tell you if the ones you have bought are used. Rather than those HDD SMART data wpied drives selling as new.

Best way to check for fake AirPods Pro etc

mengshi — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 10:10:03 +0800

Can someone run me through the best way to surely check a set of used AirPod Pro etc is not fake?

Something (screenshot) that can prove to Shopee/Carousell and get money back one.

I am already avoiding shops that sell refurbished unit which are clearly fake.

I am looking at individual sellers but I think some of these previously refurbished unit are leaking into individual sellers already.

Thanks.

Any comments on Karl Mobel / Secret Racer gaming chairs?

They are quite cheap on Shopee. Reasonable delivery fees to Sarawak. Are they total crap or has some reddeming features.

I need my chair to be more upright. (Bought Le Noble and they're not gaming chair but they're uncomfortable! Too slouchy when I sit on them)

Cheap Android tablets on Shopee

Has anyone tried those cheap Android tablets on Shopee ? The ones that cost around RM350. They are usually advertised "bravely" with other brandnames like Xiaomi and Samsung.... I just need one for reading ebooks (pdf) and perhaps use Stremio.
