For many years after the successful
entry of many shopping sites in the U.S. and other countries in the world,
online shopping in the Philippines used to be very small scale and unreliable.
The few online shopping sites offered only very limited product choices and
they usually turned out to be of inferior quality. Even the modes of payment were not reliable
and secured. Because of these reasons, I shied away from online shopping and
settled to store shopping, often times at the very crowded malls.
The entry of Lazada Philippines in the
local e-commerce landscape has totally changed my concept of online shopping in
the Philippines. This shopping site which is virtually an online mall because
of its wide array of products that are comparable, if not better, than what you
can buy from foreign online stores.
The Philippines' Online Shopping Mall
offers shoppers the convenience of shopping in the comfort of one’s home, the
main reason behind the huge success of online shopping in other countries. You
need not get dressed up as you can shop in your pajamas while still in bed.
Just a few mouse clicks or finger taps and you can complete your shopping
without leaving your bedroom.
I was very much impressed the first
time I tried shopping at Lazada Philippines. Browsing for products was very
easy as everything is organized into sections. When I clicked on a product
category, I was presented with a wide array of very good and branded products.
What really surprised me were the prices of products. I was expecting the
prices to be a lot higher than the prices at the mall. I was totally wrong
because the prices were very low and in addition, they always have discounts or
promotional prices on almost everything.
I found out when I reached check out
that the payment methods are easy and convenient. I have so many options on how
I will pay for my purchases. I could use the usual credit or debit card, pay
through PayPal, BDO installment option, MegaLink payment method, and the most
awesome of them all – cash on delivery. I never imagined that I could order
products online and pay for my purchases after I have the items in my actual
possession. This means that I could personally inspect first what I ordered to
make sure that I got the right items and that there are no damages on
them. I consider this payment option as
truly unbeatable.
When I placed my first order, I was
informed that my items will be shipped in about five days because I live in
Metro Manila. To my surprise, my order was delivered on the third day. I
thought I did not have enough money to pay the delivery person because I was
not expecting my order to arrive that early. Fortunately, I had enough cash to
pay for my items. Of course, I first inspected the items and I was fully
satisfied on their quality and condition.
