In
the past, I have been extremely wary and apprehensive to shop for anything
online. Although many of my friends have ventured into shopping online, I had
this paranoid constant thought that shopping without actually touching the item
first will always lead to disastrous results. Shopping at an actual mall and
touching the actual item before I make a purchase is the only way I make
purchases. However, being an employed individual with ever-changing working
hours, I do not always have the luxury of time to go to the mall.
Why
them and not me?
A
friend and work colleague of mine, of whom I admired her cool fashion sense,
seemed to have no difficulty in shopping for what she wanted or needed. Upon
asking her on how she found the time to shop (with our ridiculous work shifts),
and she informed me that for the past year now, she had been shopping online at
Lazada Philippines. She assured me that this online shopping site was legit and
backed up by a credible and reputable company. Eventually, with her constant
reassurance (and delivery evidence to boot), I finally decided to give it a try
and make my very first online purchase.
Browsing
through this online shopping site was pretty easy and pleasantly overwhelming,
I should say. There were so many items and categories to choose from and many,
if not most of the items were from brands which I recognized. Since I literally
do not have the time to shop for clothes and shoes, I decided to click to the
clothing and footwear categories. During my lunch break at work, I was able to
choose a couple of jeans, a few tops and a pair of cool calf boots. After a few
deep breaths (and a few remaining supportive remarks from my office mate), I
finally headed to the payment option page.
First
time online shopper
After
I made the online purchase at Lazada Philippines, I felt that I still desired
to talk to an actual customer support representative to ask questions about my
purchase. I was glad that I did not have to wait on hold that long. The
customer service representative was very pleasant to talk to and answered my
inquiries with ease. I was even pleasantly surprised when she informed me that
there was Free Delivery Available for my purchases since I surpassed that
Php1,000.00 minimum purchase to avail of the said service.
Really,
I can pay via COD?
Another
great thing she informed me was that there were different payment options
available with them. Upon learning about this, I decided to pay by means of
Cash on Delivery.
Five
days later, all my purchases arrived in great condition. I must say, I was
impressed on how fast the package arrived. This first purchase online with this
online shopping site has made me realize that shopping through the internet is
not such a bad thing after all. With Lazada Philippines, in particular, not
only do you get a wide variety of item choices, you are provided with different
payment options as well. Besides the usual Visa and Mastercard, there is also
the Dragon Pay and Paypal methods which I am interested to try next. I will
definitely be shopping again at the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall sometime
soon!
