Lazada: Reliability from different angles

There are many facets to an online shopping website’s reliability and the factors that will make you say that a website is absolutely reliable. Reliability can be a lot of things when it comes to online shopping. Things that people normally look at are the payment options, safety of transactions, delivery timeframes and the ability to deliver the items on time and in excellent and mint condition as well as who the online shopping website is partnered with in terms of delivery. Given all of these factors, let us take things apart and discuss to check if our favorite online shopping website, the Philippines’ online shopping mall is a reliable website that can be trusted with our hard earned money. I have done my research and have also tried ordering a few things off Lazada Philippines and I would say that they are absolutely, definitely 100% reliable. Enough said and here are the things that I found out about them that will back my argument down to the core.

Payment methods – as we probably know already, Lazada Ph offers its consumers various payment options that will suit every shoppers needs. How does that relate to reliability? Well in my book, reliability is also the ability to be flexible in any type of situation thrown at you. Being reliable means being able to throw down whatever the circumstances are and that is how Lazada rolls. The multiple payment methods that they currently have means that they have this capacity to be flexible for their customers and that is reliability right there. It does not matter what you have, be it a credit card or cold hard currency Lazada’s got it down for you 100%. They got credit card payments, Dragon Pay (an alternative online payment system that utilizes the Philippines’ banking networks and other non-traditional establishments like convenience stores and pawnshops to process your payment and best of all it is credit card-free) and of course, last but not the least the cash on delivery service which is my personal preference when it comes to paying for my Lazada orders second to the credit card payment method (I am a credit card guy by the way and cash on delivery is just an alternative for me if I don’t feel like using my credit card for some reason)

Badge or seal of safety – most legit online shopping websites that deal with credit card transactions are sanctioned and audited by PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), a council originally put together by big name financial institutions like American Express, Visa International, Mastercard Worldwide, JCB and Discover Financial Services aimed at establishing security standards and protocols that online companies dealing with credit card payments should follow to ensure the security and safety of their customers financial information thus minimizing security threats, fraud losses and identity theft. LAzada Philippines, take a wild guess… definitely bears the PCI-DSS logo on their website. An assurance that your credit information is safe and also a prime indicator that they are a reliable online entity that passionate online shoppers like you and me can trust.
