Title: Buying from shopee sometimes more expensive 🫰
Post by: 老曾记 on Dec 29, 2024, 10:22 PM
I realised.... Shopee things can be more expensive than retail shops.

For the same brand of 5 litres vinegar. My retail shop in plaza is selling at $4. Shopee is selling at $6.80 + $2 delivery, total $8.80.

Wah the difference is knn. And this is not the first time I'm seeing shopee selling more expensive than retail.

Ntuc frozen katsudon. Now selling at $13, forgot what's the original price but it's around the same. I see shopee site selling at $14+

Lastly. It can be much cheaper buying in jb instead of shopee, if u happen to go jb jalan. Because u reduce the courier fees.
For the same pack of collagen. Shopee is selling at $22sgd. Jb Watsons is selling at $16 sgd original price, with discount is $10 sgd.

But there are still very worthy items in shopee. Like kitchen sink taps. Buying from shopee cost less than $10 (made in msia). Similar item found in  hardware shops will cost $50+.
