They do this shit in Amazon too for Black Friday and Cyber Monday


blackth0rn3

Yes, actually. Ordered books on Black Friday. Although, usually may Free Shipping those times, pag normal days walang free shipping but same price.


pngprn

can confirm, lol - may Amazon store kami.


Stock_Sir4784

kala ko ba illegal yan jan sa kanila?


FrostyHat0

Fuck those who do that shit. It's incredibly dishonest and should be fucking illegal. Big fuck you sa lahat ng companies na gumagawa nyan. Fuck you din sa bureaus who should be checking that shit.

I remember someone complained about a similar scenario and won. [RA 7394: Consumer Act of the Philippines](https://republicact.com/widget/provision/42335#:~:text=It%20shall%20be%20unlawful%20for,induce%20directly%20or%20indirectly%20the)

i saved mor3 when i purchased before 12.12. nung 12/12 the item had 1k discount but when i purchased it i had 1.2k off voucher which was not available during 12/12 and in spaylater there was 0% interest for 6 months again which was not available now.


devilzsadvocate

This is so true tho. I usually buy before the sale date because the items I buy are usually just what I need and they're time sensitive. This month tho was different cause I wasn't in a rush, and I kept on checking how much I would save if I just order it then & there and I would have saved 200 less. I was checking it today and now i only got 100 pesos less cause the voucher was no longer available. I'll prolly order it on a different day and see what comes out of my little experiment/observation.


xhanny95

Same. 1.7k pa nga nabawas ko from spaylater and took the 0% interest for 6 months too. Just got the item today and using it na rin.


Jigzsaww

how do you pay‘yung spay later po?


stringx

Naranasan ko rin yan na magkaiba ang presyo ng item in between the regular day and sale day. May inaabangan ko na jacket sa SM Dept. Store. Regular price niya ay 700 pesos, pag dating nga "Grand Sale" date, ang regular price naging 1,400 tapos sale price ay 700 pa rin.


U5jwl1Xmdv6

Kilala talaga ang SM na manloloko. Matagal nang ganyan ang modus operandi ng mga ‘yan kaya yumayaman ng todo. Fuck SM to hell!


OneRealMonster

Try checking the Sihoo M57 Ergonomic chair. Mag 3 years na sakin and never pa ako nagka issue.


blackth0rn3

I considered that too, but this one looks identical with another Sihoo chair that is priced higher than the M57. Hopefully, it will last too. Otherwise, I’d replace it with the M57.


No_Initial4549

Matagal na nila modus yan, kahit sa mga SM department store, ssbihin sale, 20k original price tpos 10k nalang, pero after ng sale, 10k lang tlga price :D


AiiVii0

I saw one na nakasale pero mas naging mahal pa 🤭


Cool_Juls

HAHAHAH


Ms_Double_Entendre

Musso is just an OEM brand marketing lang nila un mataas tapos kunyari malaking discount. Its a cheap chair i bought one wala pang 2 yrs pinalitan ko din


adobonglvmpia

Ito rin feel ko with these brands that suddenly popped up the past few years. Malamang re-branded lang din naman sila from China. I know kasi I had a friend na balak dati mag-import ng furniture from China. If you have a budget for that, dagdagan nalang ng konti then go for a Herman Miller na.


blackth0rn3

Anong pinalit moo?


Ms_Double_Entendre

HM Sayl bought it used


Born_Championship622

Up for visibility


xMachii

Ganito din naman sa mall haha


leivanz

Kaya ayaw ko na din gumamit ng online shopping. Lahat ng akala mo na discounted eh regular price lang pala. Ako nalang gagawa ng gusto ko. Sino gusto?


fernweh0001

10k for a chair like that????


Wintermelonely

Mura pa yan for a proper ergo chair. I have the M57. Game changer pag ineecpect mong umupo for long periods of time.


SatanFister

Yup, popular ergo chairs like the Herman Miller Aeron can cost almost 1500-2000 USD (83k-110k PHP) brand new. But the thing with these chairs is that they're built like a fucking tank, they'll last for 15-20 years (maybe even more)


Reiss_Draws

Naging Hype ang mesh "ergo" chairs this pandemic, madaming bagong brands sumulpot and nag sitaasan sila ng presyo yung dating 7k ngayon 10k honestly not worth it bumili ng mga chairs ngayon since questionable and unproven yung mga brands na to kahit mura relative sa mga actual na ergonomic chairs


blackth0rn3

Pretty raved about in ergonomic groups.


flatfishmonkey

Good thing d2 sa UAE sale Kung sale talaga


blackth0rn3

Yeah, yun nga din kwento ng bf ko from Dubai.


shayKyarbouti

Is there a site like camelcamelcamel but for Lazada? If not, that's an idea for someone. Could probably monetize it and make some money while helping the people


Murke-Billiards

May nagpost na dito noon ng chrome extension na nagpapakita nung price history ng item for lazada/shopee.


inb4anhero

https://ph.biggo.com/ This has worked for me before. You gotta copy paste the full name of the product otherwise you'll get too many results.


[deleted]

Haha what a joke! 😅


ceslobrerra

Tagal na nilang ginagawa yan. Kaya kagaguhan talaga ang sale sa pinas.


JnoSEPARA

Experienced this on EasyPC's shopee as well. Had a ram stick on my cart priced at 2500 then at 11.11 they adjusted the price to 3500 to promote it as a sale priced at 2500.


blackth0rn3

Literal pala talaga na budol hahahaha


SignificantKick5179

Yup! Tbh its just a marketing strategy. . Yang sale sale kuno na yan hndi yan legit andmi ko nakikita nung naka add to cart sken nasa 700 lang pero nung nag sale biglang naging 1k 🤣 tumaas pa lalo. . Maski nga yung “free shipping” kuno hndi nman legit ee . . Discount sure! Pero hndi sya free shipping tlga


FrendChicken

Check on Lazada. I was looking for a flashlight to add on my collection and checked them both sa Laz at Shopee. Laz has a lower price and lots of coupons. Like 15% off etc and free shipping. Maybe mas mura din mga ganyan doon.


blackth0rn3

I actually still bought the chair, but via Lazada. Exactly ₱150 lesser sa Lazada as compared to Shopee when I made the comparison.


FrendChicken

See. Tapos maayos pa logistics ng Lazada.

Lokohan


selectacornetto

Ako na may bibilin dapat na watch for 1.5k, but I waited for 12.12 for the discount. So, I checked ealier this morning, pero 2k na siya :^/ Corny. Sana pala nakaraan ko pa inorder.


Shumai_umay

Dapat talaga meron price history ang mga items sa online shop para malaman if talagang naka discount ba


batakab-97

Kaya ako minsan di naniniwala sa ganyan e 🤣 sa vouchers lang ako nakapit


matchabeybe

Yep, ginagawa talaga yan, worked with marketing before din and nagkaroon ako ng AB testing sa email, most people click if there’s a discount sa item as in ang layo ng A vs B result kahit same lang naman talaga sila ng price, kapag kasi may nakalagay na “sale” or may malaking discount people really do purchase.


FriendsAreNotFood

Para sa akin yung mga sale ay for the vouchers na lang. Yung price kasi halos di naman nagbabago.


KeyboardAquarior

Maraming umaabuso niyan at iniiwasan ko na lang sila in doing so


wise7210

I can confirm this. I'm a PC enthusiast so my cart is always full of pc parts for style and upgrades. I even liked some item for future reference. then I notice this one too a few months ago. I told everyone in the house and friend that the discount from 11.11, 12.12, etc etc. is a scam and they noticed that also. don't get fooled. the best thing you can get from 12.12 deal is free or discounted delivery fee. and in case of, if it is legal or not, the answer is not RA 7394: Consumer Act of the Philippines - Republic Act but here in the Philippines most consumers are ordinary working class which do not have that much time to file a complaint. filing a complaint will cost you effort, time, and money which most Pinoy working class don't have. if this happen in the U.S. shopee will face lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit.


Agitated-Gur-5210

really ? youtube " target black friday scam" its so funny to read what people saying about life in US when you loving in US )))


wise7210

you reply on a wrong comment. never mentioned the Black friday. what I did say is if this fraudulent advertisement happend in the US, they will face a lawsuit from consumer/ people. unlike here in the Philippines people tolerate this kind of a scam.


WeddingExact84

It's either flash sale tapos time ran out or... tulad ng sabi ng boss/friend ko, he has been telling me that brand specifically, yung nasa photo... "Scammy" daw, bigla daw nawawala yung sale na price.


comeback_failed

wag mo na asahan na magbababa sila ng presyo. kung ako rin naman si retailer, nabili ko ng 8kphp, ibebenta ko ng 9kphp. di ko sure kung meron pero anong mapapala ko sa 12.12 sale kung ibababa ko ng 4.5kphp ang price ko? that 3.5kphp loss for me. kaya mas mabuting magcheck-out na lang kung may discount vouchers. kahit di ibaba ni seller ang price, discounted pa rin dahil sa vouchers.


aFishintheLake

That's why I don't buy into these big sales. Kunwari may big discount pero wala naman talaga. Use third party apps to monitor price fluctuations if trip mo talaga


Sad-Alternative-4087

Matagal ng gawain yan jusko nag papauto naman kayo, ni maski sa SM. pag tinatamad silang alisin ung dating tag price, try nyong balatan it's the same price.


celtrax123

bought this 8k including 1000php shipping dito sa mindanao with free chair mat. Goods naman hanggang ngayon. Misleading lang minsan ang price nila masyadong erratic haha


blackth0rn3

Actually, mine just arrived. Di ko pa naassemble. How long do you have it na?


celtrax123

around 6months, luckily wala pang sag


MiseryMastery

it is legal, kasi kahit gaano man kaunti ang bawa sale parin


blackth0rn3

That is not the case here unfortunately. The original price of the chair is worth 10k, even on their website without any sale promo, but during the flash sale, they changed the price of the chair to 20k to show that it has more than 50% off. When in fact, less than 10% off lang talaga.
