Paying is as Easy as 1-2-3 at Lazada Philippines


I was never the type to generate too much noise about a product or service. If it’s good, it’s good. If not, I just deal with it, file a complaint if needed, and just move on. Life should be as simple as that. But if something is exceptionally good or bad, I bend my rule and rave or rant about it. Such is the case with Lazada Philippines. They have only been here for a little over a year now but their popularity has already skyrocketed.  I was seriously impressed with this site that I find myself recommending it to my family and friends.

What made them win me over are their unique services and customer-oriented policies I haven’t seen anywhere else. From sourcing the best products and brands to providing excellent customer service, I can say confidently that they’ve really got their act together.  I most especially like how they offer a wide variety of payment options other than the usual credit card alternative making the highly convenient online shopping a better experience for a lot of people.

I have trust issues and am extremely paranoid about technology. I know it makes life easier but it sure can make someone’s life miserable too especially if you’ve been a victim of cybercrime. I, for one, have already been a victim of credit card fraud. So I avoid online shopping like the plague because all sites I know of require credit cards for me to make a purchase. It’s either I have someone else purchase for me or I deal with sellers on several social networking sites as they usually require buyers to do bank deposits or pay via GCash or Smart Money.

With the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall, I was really happy to find out that they do online bank transfers, over-the-counter payments, and offer Cash on Delivery (COD) aside from the classic credit card transaction. I think coming up with a lot of payment options is a sure fire way to gain more customers. 

Among all the payment alternatives they have, one that really stood out is the Cash on Delivery option. It is the perfect choice if you’ve only just began exploring the joys of online shopping. This way, you only pay up once you receive your purchases. Plus, if you’re a working girl who lives alone, you can schedule the delivery guys to come by your office where they’ll drop off the package so you can hand over the payment.  That’s how flexible this shopping site is.

As for the over-the-counter payments and bank transfers, they both fall under the Dragon Pay option. Of course, doing the online bank transfer is similar to paying via credit card. It’s super hassle-free. With over-the-counter payments, while you will need to head out and fall in line to make a payment, they managed to still make things easier by partnering with establishments that are conveniently located all over the country such as 7-Eleven branches, SM Business Centers, several local banks, and even pawnshops!
If you haven’t tried shopping at this site, I suggest you give it a go now. I bet, just like me, you’ll become an instant fan too.

What Makes Lazada Philippines Different from the Point of View of Ordinary Customers


Most often than note, ordinary customers like me don’t necessarily have that much voice when it comes to our transactions. Why? People normally think that our opinions and experiences wouldn’t matter because we are unknown to the rest of the world. This is not how Lazada Philippines looks at us. In fact, to this online shopping company, the more ordinary you are, the more are your points of view valued. 

I have been shopping at the Philippines' Online Shopping Mall for all of our household needs as well as my clothes, shoes and gadgets. I can say that at first glance, it would be quite difficult to spot how different they are from other online shopping companies out there. The web design of the company is rather plain and the products that they offer are also available on other websites. However, what makes them standout and different from others is the fact that they invest greatly on ensuring that your every transaction is smooth and easy overall.







Exemplar Services 

I am particularly impressed with the services I got to enjoy at Lazada Philippines. I was able to enjoy a huge discount because they give some promos and discounts to their loyal customers. There was even an instance wherein I wasn’t aware that I am qualified for a particular promo until I received an email and took advantage of it. Other than this, the company also invests on giving their customers treats. Although I’ve never experienced winning, there are some promos wherein at a given time you will be able to purchase a product for a very small amount of money. That is, if you are the first time to place your order online.



24/7 Reliable Support Team 

I am also impressed with the Lazada's customer support team. No matter what time within the day you call them for an inquiry, they can give you top-quality response. If they cannot give you immediate feedback for your query, there’s also no need to worry because they guarantee that they will respond to you as soon as possible. You can also contact the support team through the use of your email, their company website or even your own mobile device. 

Growing Range of Products

I am also happy that every now and then when I check the Lazada Philippines website, I am able to find new products to purchase. There are even some instances wherein I don’t feel the need to buy anything and then when I see it online I realize that I need it and so I purchase it immediately. Every time I purchase something, I take advantage of the cash on delivery option and I have never had any problems with it as well. 

I can definitely say that I am a satisfied customer. There’s nothing much I can ask or hope for with this online shopping site. I have also encouraged a lot of my friends to try their services and they are all happy with it too. Now, there’s really no reason for me to waste my time at the mall that often.
