It's that time of the season again and if you haven't guessed - it's the durian season! That being said, scammers are apparently taking advantage of the pandemic situation since we can't go out but no worries. This is because Shopee Malaysia is working with the Federal Agriculture Marketing Authority (FAMA) to empower legitimate durian farmers and sellers via a Durian e-Fiesta campaign.

In other words, all transactions on the platform are protected by the Shopee Guarantee policy. The policy sees Shopee withholding payment in escrow until buyers confirm that the goods received are genuine and in good condition before the money is released to sellers. Furthermore, this enables users to go through a return and refund which can be as quick as 15 minutes once approved and if paid via ShopeePay.

By the way, this is the second year in a row that FAMA has teamed up with Shopee to continue their Durian e-Fiesta. The campaign will run from 10 to 31 July with attractive discount vouchers of up to 50%, RM15 off with a minimum spend of RM60 and RM30 off with a minimum spend of RM100 that are claimable via the eFAMAPLACE microsite. eFAMAPLACE sellers on Shopee will be having daily Shocking Sales from 4 - 31 July, which will see limited quantities of Musang King, D24 and Kampung durians up for grabs from as low as RM0.77 at 12 AM daily.

Sadly, we are still stuck at home and unable to eat durian together, but you can still get your durians from Shopee. To learn more about the eFAMAPLACE microsite via the Shop Malaysia in-app portal on Shopee, you can visit the webpage here
