Lazada changed the concept of Online Shopping in the Philippines


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.

After my first shopping experience with Lazada Philippines, I had been shopping with them for almost everything that I need. And I need to mention this – I have not been to a real mall for a very long time
