I bought a wet vacuum cleaner from Amazon just before 11/11

It was a delivery by ninja van. I waited on the delivery day. At 1 pm, it was updated as "delivered", but I couldn't find any sign of it. Check around everywhere, and found nothing. It's a bulky item, it's unlikely to be missed or mixed up with other some smaller items. I contacted CS and they agree to a refund.

Since then, I've bought the same at qoo10. And used it for a couple of days.

Today the missing item turn up. It was delivered to the wrong address, and that guy sat on it for a whole week, before deciding to return to me.

I arranged for a proper return to Amazon, since I can't keep another vacuum.

Amazon is great, but the delivery sucks. ninja van sucks.

Ninja van also drive like ninja on the road..

This is the plight of choosing Sea shipping instead or air. More than a week, everyday refresh hoping to see some changes in the status. It's mental training I doing for future shopping endurance and savings.

lol. what's the rush. all these are discretionaries. 
If i really need something in SG, i would have went down to the shop or buy from SG seller.

If there's cheaper shipping and it takes 1+ month vs i get something in 1 week. 99.9% of the time i choose the former. 
I guess unless you have something like renovation on-going and that's somewhat time sensitive. 

Like i wanted a bluetooth keyboard case for my xiaomi tablet to bring along for my travels next week. 
I chose to buy it in october just so that the sea shipping can reach in time before i go for my holiday.

LOL. all items are not time sensitive. Can wait.  But habit of clicking refresh page and make myself gan cheong...  Not a seasoned shopper with sea shipping yet.  Once trained, maybe ship and forget til being notified. I'm actually anew taobao shopper, just started early this year because need to get phone battery.

cancelled my order for Blackvue DR590X and ordered a 70mai A800s. as this is 2CH, the SD card I need to bring along during installation should be at least 64GB ? 

thanks once again.

I'm so proud of myself...discarted 99%...watched many beedeo clips on that one item to justify a purchase...fought hard for that 1% left in the cart until 2359 lust night...gone to sleep without clicking on the BUY button...

Did my part to combat inflation...can afford doesn't mean just anyhow buy...just like expensive cai png...let's support only those who care about the livelihood of many more others...🙏😁

based on my personal sexperience, priority items have to buy between 0000 - 0200 on first day when platform voucher, shop voucher and bank vouchers all have. after that not so sexciting already.

They just dump it anywhere without inform you its been delivered or where they put it.

For Shoppe and Qoo10, at least the courier would text you and send you a photo.

[Jman888]

i signed up the ninja van FB messenger and i opt for contactless delivery, i know when the parcel arrive as the FB messenger will notify me, they can't do that unless the guy actually deliver the item to your doorstep and click 'delivered'.  If the status only shown on the shopping apps, sometime not accurate.
