I'm working on a browser extension to add new features to Lazada, starting by showing if the item ships from abroad or locally and if it's fulfilled by Lazada or a third party. More Info and Install: http://www.gadgetaddict.net/lazada-extended/ For now, I'm calling the extension: Lazada Extended Aside from the occasional false advertised product (see my W804 flood light video), the biggest problem I have with Lazada is actually finding an item I can buy. My experience with items shipping from abroad has been very poor. Only one order has ever arrived. The others were all cancelled after 2-3 weeks and then Lazada took another week or two to refund me. I've been bugging/begging Lazada for a long time, like many other people, to add a filter option to exclude items shipped from abroad. Recently I've found myself having to revert back to buying on OLX.ph because it takes so long to open every single product and check if it ships from abroad or locally. Another issue is that even the local third party sellers can be extremely slow to ship items. Sometimes you get lucky and they ship after a few days but usually it takes 5+ days before they even ship the item. So it's much better if you can find items that are fulfilled and shipped by Lazada, since they ship extremely quickly. Since Lazada don't have any publicly available API, I sniffed the data from the mobile app and find the API URL. I then use that in my extension to grab further information about each product and display it on the search page. This makes it extremely easy to quickly look through a lot of products and see which are being sold locally and whether they're fulfilled by Lazada or a third party.
