So how come online shopping was late to arrive in the
country? Late – as in why it only just started to be an alternative shopping
destination for Filipinos this past few years when compared to other countries
where they have already been doing this since the early to mid 2000s. It’s no
secret to us that we have high rate or online scams and frauds in the country.
I’m not sure if it’s because we are living on a third world country or simply
because it is just a general assumption that we got used to hear. Regardless,
the point here is that online shopping was never highly considered an option
for us. One point is that we are a country that is dominated by Filipinos who
are not credit card holders or Paypal account user.
Therefore, for an online shopping business perspective, we
are the least country that should be invested on. This makes you wonder how
come online shopping made an impact in the country. I think this online
shopping bonanza happened when one of the biggest online shopping malls in
South East Asia, Lazada, was launched in our country as well besides our
neighbor countries Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Vietnam. They are under the umbrella of Rocket Internet,
which is known for launching various online businesses from different regions
all over the world. Since then, a lot of
online shopping malls were launched as well by local business owners.
Now that we have a lot of online shopping malls competing
for our attention. We can now be picky and select which one is the best online
store that can satisfy our personal standards from an online store. Let’s not
forget that the reason why the local Internet users got started is when Lazada
introduced a unique selling point for their customers. It’s actually focused on
customer flexibility on how they want to pay their orders from them. Cash on
Delivery alternative payment method allows any customer to order from their
website without ever giving their credit card details, but the most special
thing about this payment method is that customers don’t need to pay in advance
before their orders shipped out to be delivered in their very homes. This makes
online shopping easy for anyone. No need to worry about getting scammed since
you don’t need to pay in advance. You only pay as your orders arrived at your
home. No need to worry about not having the option to pay online in
conventional manner. No credit card or
Paypal account? This is the perfect fit for people like us who hate debts.
Customers can just direct go to the lazada.com.ph website and browse for any
items they like. Next thing they need to do is just provide their shipment
address and recipient name of their order. That’s it! You can just sit back and
relax. Once your order package arrives at your home, you can pay in cash as it
is handed over to you. It’s that easy!

I guess online shopping is a bit tad late in the Philippines because not everyone's equipped with a credit card or quickly trusts online shopping...
