Mercado Libre

Going to order a few things from them for the first time , anybody have problems using them? Do you use a credit card or pay at OXXO? Any problems with credit card?

TIA

Love them...ez to use and usually very fast delivery.

I think they're great too. I pay at OXXO and have things delivered to iShop. Never been disappointed yet.

I have used both CC and PayPal without any problems.

I pay at Oxxo. Very easy to do. Once the seller cancelled the sale and the money got put in my account which took me a while to figure out how to use on my next purchase. I don't like using my cc down here.

I paid at the bank for a video recorder. When it did not arrive, the seller claimed he did not receive payment. When I sent proof to Mercado, it finally arrived but without the remote. Other buys were without problem.

Choose sellers who are reputable. When I was buying my Telmex modems, I chose sellers who had a LOT of sales. Same for my igoto pump. Their tracking system is very good as well and I knew exactly when packages arrived in the afternoon so I could pick them up the next morning.

Ferret does iShop charge you a separate fee to receive local packages?

30 pesos currently. I do not have a mailbox with them.

That’s not a bad price at all. I have a box at Handy Mail so get all packages there at no extra cost.

It's very convenient for me. I don't have a mailbox anywhere any more. I do nearly everything online so, for occasional package delivery, it suits me and my wallet perfectly.

Thanks, guys, all good advice.

Is there any means of contacting Mercado Libre MX, preferably by phone. Something doesn't seem correct with a payment.

Once you pay at Oxxo, do you have to send something to the seller to let them know that you paid? Or is it automatic? Thanks.

All automatic.

I started ordering from Amazon.com.mx and this week got a single-day delivery on a 5-day promise. No account at iShop: just send it there and go and collect it for the 30p. Fantastic.

(I ordered a special router, in case anyone is wondering, so I can install a VPN on it, which would allow anyone connected to my WiFi get their Netlfix US or whatever it is they want. As it stands, most smart TVs can't do that themselves... VPN only works on devices on which an app can be installed. This would bypass that. If you want to discuss, please start another thread.)

So to be clear, Mercado Libre will hold your refund as a credit to your account.. In this case, you need to make another purchase from ML to use the funds. There is no way for ML to transfer your refund back to you. Correct?

I used my Bancomer debit card a couple of weeks on ML. Not all vendors accept debit cards.

The vendor dropped the ball and did not send the product. He just forgot. Once I filed the claim he drove the product to my home at lakeside from Zapopan the next day.
