Anyone who isn’t as rich as
Donald Trump or Oprah Winfrey would feel giddy about hearing the word ‘FREE’.
It’s so hard to buy anything affordable today that are of good quality. It’s
always either it’s cheap but can get easily broken or long lasting but expensive.
Consumers drool over the word freebie or Buy 1 Take 1 because it gives us a
sense of relief that we’re getting more than what we paid or bargained for. One
of the online shopping sites in the Philippines that are making a buzz in the
e-commerce industry is Lazada
Philippines.
They are one of the few sites that offer free delivery
anywhere in the Metro Manila vicinity and in specific locations all over the
Philippines. They also have daily and seasonal sales up to 90% which make each
visit a new whole experience. I can’t imagine actual stores in established
malls offering these kinds of promos on a regular basis. I guess that would
defeat the purpose of them pricing their clothes at an above average pricing
range. There’s so much about Lazada than overwhelms me that can get me talking
for hours. But I can be really pessimistic at times and I’ve always seen the
whole idea of getting freebies too good to be true. It’s like, I’m already
paranoid as it is but for some reason, I always put myself in a situation where
I would get even more worried about the simplest things. I have been able to
buy from them twice already and everytime, I am tempted to buy everything I get
my eye on. I have this habit of always following up with my order/s that’s why
when I started buying online, my obsession over calling customer service or
emailing them worsened. If it were in a real store, they would have probably
slapped me in the face and dragged me out. I overanalyze and overact about
anything that I lose control over which makes online shopping an even scarier
experience for me everytime. But for some reason, I always end up buying
something from online stores. I remember the first time I ordered from Lazada.
I bought suede blue flats and school was only a few weeks away. Since I can get
a little obsessive compulsive, right when I ordered, I already pictured all
outfits that I would wear with it. I was always calling customer service. If I
wasn’t busy nagging them on the phone, I would be online chatting one of their
agents. If it weren’t for their nice employees, I swear I would be either dead
or banned from calling them. I can picture my number being blacklisted for
being too annoying. I’m glad that there has never been any bad experience with
my previous transactions. Hopefully, the luck would carry on and I’d stay
satisfied each time. I don’t think being careful is a bad thing. I always try
to look at things in a whole different light as if I’m the only one sane in the
whole picture. Obviously, I’m not.
