JAKARTA - The enthusiasm on the POCO M3 made Xiaomi Indonesia have to take a bold step, namely by canceling a number of purchases of POCO M3 worth billions of rupiah on Lazada.
This was done by Xiaomi because a number of transactions were identified as unreasonable activities and could lead to actions that harm many parties.
Xiaomi Indonesia's Product PR Manager, Andi Renreng said that this decision was part of an effort to fight against those who resell products obtained through flash sales at prices above the official price.
This initiative is part of POCO's commitment to ensure POCO fans can enjoy smartphone products at official prices, and build a healthier sales and distribution ecosystem in Indonesia.
"We are committed to protecting our consumers and ensuring everyone gets the same opportunity to get the innovation and technology from POCO smartphones", said Andi.
Xiaomi's bold move to cancel a number of POCO M3 purchase transactions has been appreciated by people, one of which is Herry SW, a gadget observer and activist.
Very nice! Beat bots and speculators! Next time, try asking Lazada to add a captcha or other security. pic.twitter.com/suLs2HmkL4

In his Twitter account, Herry said "Great! Beat bots and speculators ! Next time, try asking Lazada to add a captcha or other security".
On the other hand, this decision was also regretted by some people because Xiaomi canceled the transaction indiscriminately. On average, those who took payments via COD (Cash On Delivery) were the most affected by the reason "Inaccurate delivery address".
