Lazada, what are you doing?

-
My sisters and I shared to get a foot massager from Lazada for our parents. The (initial) delivery was fast: took only two days. Here's the review I submitted on the product:

(1) Foot massager is ok for its price.
(2) Red light for all indicators although manual says green, yellow, red.
(3) Remote control case cracked. Poorly packed. No protective bubble wrap around it. It was at the bottom of the box!
(4) Received replacement remote control on 2nd delivery (1st one got lost or something) but it didn't work for the first 3 times. After that, it still wasn't working properly, like the old one.
(5) So if remote control is important to you, don't get this foot massager.

At the same time, I also submitted a review on the seller (Gitaloha):

(1) Delivery was fast (2 days) but many problems later (see below).
(2) Seller offered replacement for cracked remote control (great!). 1st delivery never made it. 2nd delivery made it but it was confusing (see (3) below). The replacement wasn't working for the first 3 times. Still not working properly, like the old one. It would be great if seller tested the product before sending.
(3) Seller's response time need lots of improvement. Seller either didn't read question/info properly or just couldn't be bothered. Need to improve communication skill.
(4) All the above caused so much anxiety to my family and I.

However, till now (2 weeks later), this review hasn't appeared on the seller's profile.

Few days ago, I contacted Lazada's CSO via live chat. They claimed that the review was being processed and assured me that it would be published, despite me pointing out that the review on the product has long since been published.

The next day, they called me (I believed it was a different CSO) and they told me that while Lazada couldn't delete review, seller can. Mind blown. As I told them, what then was the point of review when seller could just delete negative reviews? They apologised but offered nothing else.

Update: I just conversed with Lazada's CSO via live chat. They asked what I wrote because, apparently, there may be "instances that customer's review have words that" were not allowed by their team to be posted." After I gave it to them, they said that it can take weeks to months for them to approve or decline the posting of the review. Wth.

They also confirmed that seller can delete reviews.

Me: In that case, what's the point of the review system when seller can just delete negative review? In fact, I bought from this seller partly because of their overwhelmingly positive reviews. This can seriously mislead buyers.

Lazada: There's some seller that was not deleting the negatives reviews by the customer however there's still a confirmation by our team if they granted the removing the review of the customer.

Me: Oic, so the seller needs Lazada's permission to delete review. Is that correct?

Lazada: Yes

Me: Ok, that's better

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
