lol calm down guys.
@kelvinti: smartcell said they had a batch from india so yours is probably the lucky few from india. he said majority of them from china.
when i called the chap from smartcell, he was able to verify my order and said he even packed the screen protector tgt with my order already. just that lazada guys didn't come to pick up the items, he said he had quite a lot of orders hanging around in his shop too.
to me, it sounds more like a lazada screw up. I called lazada and they said they already emailed the seller but had no response. so i gave them the smartcell guy's number to follow up. its ridiculous that a buyer was able to get thru to the seller directly, basically lazada is a useless middleman apart from the cheaper deals they can provide.
as for the price, smartcell said that it was a good deal cause lazada was doing the promo so lazada would reimburse them of the other costs for the phone. to be fair, lazada might end up being the next rakuten though, just gotta be safe cause this mode of sales is definitely not very revenue attractive.
to customers like us or the sellers on lazada, its a blessing for them but to lazada it might not be the case.
