Shopping online is a popular practice
nowadays. No wonder a lot of online shopping sites are coming into business
left and right. But the fact is, not all of them can give you the high quality
of service that you are looking for. With that, I must admit that I am very
picky with the sites I stay loyal to. One of which is Lazada– the Philippines’ online shopping mall.
Personally, I have not encountered any
problem with the service of this company. But in my research, I have read about
the experience of some clients who had issues. Nonetheless, the good news is
that at the end of the day, the complaints were fully resolved and the clients
were happy.
Wrong delivery
One of the complaints I read about is wrong
item delivery. That means that the client ordered an item from the site but
upon delivery, learned that the wrong product has been shipped. This is
actually an issue that is not exclusive to the company. In fact, this is an
inherent problem with online shopping itself.
Though I have not experienced this, I know
for a fact that there are really instances when wrong items are delivered. This
can be considered as a form of human error especially when there are bulk
orders or during peak season. For me, this can be forgivable to a certain
extent.
But then again, it would be very wrong if
the incident happens often. That means the site does not have proper quality control
checks in place, and they do not have high regard for customer welfare.
In the case of Lazada Philippines, it is very rare that I encounter this
complaint. So I consider this one of those few unfortunate accidents. Plus, the
best thing for me is the fact that the company did everything it could to
correct it.
Complaint resolution
Based from the post, the issue was
immediately addressed. Once the client relayed his dilemma, the customer
service representatives from the company made sure that they were on top of the
matter. They assured him that they will get the correct item in the soonest
possible time. More than that, they gave him updates every time he needed the
latter.
The client was also able to avail of the
company returns policy.
Safety net for customers
This is what I am talking about. In cases
like wrong deliveries or some other complaints, clients like us should have a
fallback. In the case of Lazada
Philippines, they have a comprehensive returns policy.
As the complainant experienced, the return
shipping of the wrong item was shouldered by the company. The same is true for
the delivery charge for the new item. And for the inconvenience caused by the
incident, the company willingly gave an additional freebie to the customer.
This just goes to show that the site
accepts that it is not perfect—because not one site is. But at the same time,
it places safety nets for clients like us to make sure that we get the quality
of service that we deserve.
