I was used to buying things online.
Like in shopee and Lazada.
But have no tried Tiktok.
I was curious to try my first purchase yesterday.
So decided to browse the tiktok shop using my smartphone.
The problem with this using a cellphone the screen is too small
and you don't have options like the desktop pc has.
and the images are small.
So you can't really see properly the item in close up photo.
The item was a Hexagonal extension wire with USB.
and it cost only below $ 2 USD.
and this morning it arrived.
and was happy that Tiktok is a legit shop LOL
and then after I unboxed it I noticed it is shape is cool HEXAGON lol
but then as I about to plug it I noticed the plug is has 3 prongs
and it shape arrangement is like a diamond / rectangle shape.
So this disappoint me this arrangement of prongs is not common
and not available in my house. So meaning this is useless.
And yes I'm not gonna bother myself returning this because
this is not expensive at all.
sigh............
Another money wasted.

It sounds like all you need is a simple adapter to make it work! An adapter that matches the prong configuration. They're pretty cheap and easy to find, so maybe it’s not a total waste after all.

Its low price here, in my opinion, is due to the fact that it is a Chinese electric design. You could probably purchase an adapter to make it work with our electrical outlets. I am sure you can find one that fits the plug if you just ask for it at the hardware store. They are inexpensive, in my opinion, and you can at least use the things you purchased.
