I
don’t think there’s anything wrong with buying from abroad. But I just don’t
see the reason behind it when the same product you shipped all the way from the
States to the Philippines can be bought from a local seller anyway. If
Filipinos’ way of thinking remains the same and they still see as international
service better than our own, then our local entrepreneurs or businessmen will
never have the chance to prove their worth and help build our economy.
One of the things I find
terribly disturbing and alarming is the number of people who take selling sites
for granted. Some make their very own shopping site out of sheer boredom and
add up to the increasing number of useless online stores. I really like
shopping online and if there’s one thing I hate about searching randomly on
Google specific items I want to buy, it’s going through sites that serve no
purpose. Time is very essential which is why online shopping was created in the
first place. The convenience it brings definitely outshines other manners of
selling not because it’s virtual but because it’s actually effective for a lot
of people especially those sinking deep in workloads.
Lazada Philippines is one of the shopping
sites I know about that actually take pride on their manner of selling. They
have outstanding number of buyers and impeccable selections of products that
people from all walks of life will have an interest in. They have services that
give customers a reason to keep coming back. Their delivery fees vary depending
on certain conditions like amount and location for shipment. But all are within
reason. E-commerce is giving shopping malls and outlet stores a run for their
money. The industry of buying and selling online gives a whole new meaning to
start of the millennium. If before, people were restricted to buy in selected
stores only, now avid shoppers of all ages have the option to get what they
want with half the trouble. Lazada is an international company that
specifically carries brands that Filipinos are familiar with. No brands you
can’t pronounce. Just brands you have actually heard of which is great
considering it’s rare to find a website fitting to Philippine culture or
preferences. If you can’t find it in you to give your support to local
businesses, then you better not be one of those complaining about the inability
of our country’s economy to better.
Lazada may not be familiar to those living in the States or other western countries. It is up to Filipino consumers to tell their relatives so that they wouldn't have to purchase from the States and then ship to relatives.
