Lazada flies high with international credibility

A company’s credibility goes a long way especially if you are dealing with cynical clienteles. If a company can’t go beyond what is expected of them, there is lesser chance that they can grab a hold of the market they are eying on. If there’s one thing lazada holds over their competitors, it’s its credibility. It is owned by a multi-(insert super rich ‘-naire’ here) online venture holders mostly referred to as the Samwer brothers. They run Rocket Internet that owns multiple online sites that all have their own edge from one another. They have websites running all over the world in all five continents and in over 50 countries. Because of the differences in culture as well as product preferences, Rocket Internet has been known for adjusting successfully depending on the country they are marketing their website in. Its credibility carried out from their very first online venture called Zalando that was launched in Germany in the first year of their corporation. 

                The Philippines currently has 3 websites under Rocket Internet running for Filipino consumers. They have Zalora, a fashion shopping site that covers all products in relation to beauty. Office Pro is an online store that covers mostly equipments that are necessary to create an effective and productive working environment. Lastly of course, there is Lazada. It is the combination of the two of the aforementioned online shops selling the largest variety of products of all with no specific focuses or bias. They give importance to all products no matter how far off the purpose is from the rest of the items already up for sale.

                How reliable Lazada need not be questioned for its services speaks for itself. The services it has in store for its customers help define just how reliable its system is. They recruited local employees best known for their individual line of work that helped redefine the term ‘online shopping’. They have regular sales that make shopping more of a cause of fun than headache which is saying a lot given how impulsive online buyers can get. They get orders delivered through two of the most respected delivery services in the Philippines, 2GO and LBC. 

                This new online shopping website is a good source of big item merchandises and a better alternative than the usual driving to the mall to shop. There is no better way to make the most of your free time than to just simply go online and purchase whatever necessities you need as of the moment. Don’t turn your back on the advancements now taking the world by storm. Instead, take part of this new generation and find your place in all these new methods. Live a little and go out of your comfort zone by involving yourself in the latest activities doable online. I don’t need a battalion of online users to convince me just how efficient buying online is compared to other forms of shopping. The best and cheapest deals are just around the corner. And for those still unable to catch up, I suggest you do it fast. You’ll never know until when online stores would be willing to give out items on such cheap deals.

Online shopping, my favorite getaway

I can think of a lot of reasons why online shopping is my favorite getaway. But by far, the thing that makes it such a thrill is the convenience it brings.  I can buy any of the stuff I like at any given time without worrying about whether the store’s about to close or not.  There’s nothing worse than being in the mood to shop and having to hurry up trying on clothes to beat store clerks from doing inventory. Online shopping gives a whole new twist to ordinary shopping enabling access anywhere in the Philippines. When I ordered for the very first time from lazada, I felt a little bit apprehensive not knowing anything about how they process orders. I ordered a gray cardigan worth a little over seven hundred pesos with matching metallic silver shoes with studs worth roughly five hundred pesos. I have ordered from other online sites before but normally through Facebook only. I would text them personally making the orders done directly which was more practical compared to having to visit their store outlets.

Ordering from lazada was a lot different because I made use of my credit card for the first time. I didn’t have any direct contact which made it a lot trickier and to be honest, a bit sketchy as well. The only thing I had was an email acknowledging my order. The thing that pushed me most to buy from them was their free delivery and good product options. They had a wide range of selections from shoes to cd albums and house furniture.  Their free delivery required a minimum purchase of one thousand pesos. They delivered anywhere in the Philippines free of charge. Compared to the other online stores I ordered from that I had to meet up somewhere, ordering from lazada was a lot more convenient. I thought online shopping was such a thrill but not having to worry about how my orders would get delivered to me added to the perks.

Online shopping is very advisable to those always on the go and don’t have the time to drop by the mall to buy their essentials. Products like skin lotion make up and even shampoo can be ordered from the net. You can literally order an entire list of your groceries online and conveniently wait for it to get delivered in a week span. Since it was my first time to make a legitimate order, it was important to me to be able to track the progress of my orders. Some online shops give you just the information you need with a simple password you need to encode in the site. Customers can find out whether their orders are still in the middle of being processed or is being delivered already. This came very handy when I had complications with my order since I live in a condo and is constantly out. I thought they would need to get my signature before releasing my purchase so when the third day came around and my order still wasn’t with me, I checked my account and it was only then that I realized that my order was already in the lobby. You can definitely have a lot of fun with online shopping as long as you know how to work around this seemingly complex program.

The Internet: Without it, I’d suffer. We all would

If there’s one thing our generation has successfully pioneered and will likely still be present in the years to come, it’s the internet. The immaculate thing about the internet is it makes majority of what we normally have to go out of the house to buy within our reach from our computers. Remember the days we could only get our hands on the popular Jollibee spaghetti if we buy in their store and none of it could be ordered online? What about the times we hardly heard from our loved ones abroad because it cost so much? Those days tarnished a lot of relationships. But look what a fast video chat in Skype or a quick chat on Facebook can rekindle? The internet has truly made life a lot easier and manageable and not just because shopping could be done regularly. But that did make a lot of people appreciate it more. I certainly did.

                Shopping online has made its fair share in the lives of many people but its biggest impact in my life yet is how it made my job a lot easier. I work part-time as an assistant to an industrial designer. And as her right hand, I do errands for her that requires me to go around the city every now and then. If she needs a certain type of chair, it’s my job to make sure she gets it on time before she has to present it to a potential client. But that can be really time-consuming especially the part where I have to scout anywhere possible and come out empty handed. The internet does not only give me an easier access to the lists of furniture stores within an area but it also allows me to see an overview of the items they have on hand which is extremely important in my line of work.

                The most recent purchase I made was a light blue recycled cylinder chandelier from Lazada. I came upon it by accident while looking for a nice set of linen to add on to my boss’ collection. I overheard her asking her ‘suki’ lamp store for an item of the same kind a few days ago and until today she has been trying her best to make it made. She was extremely impressed when I showed it to her giving me a lot more ‘pogi’ points. Sometimes the best things are for free and in this case, it was my gas money that I was able to spare. If there’s one thing I hate about my work, it’s that I don’t get allowance for gas. She tries to cover my transportation fees but I would rather dive in the polluted streets of Manila in a safe car than commute all the way and getting possibly beat up by thugs. Contrary to popular belief, the nice stores aren’t always in malls. Most of them are in alleys so hard to find, you’d rather lose your job than risk your life trying.

Lazada’s overdose of online treats

Looking for a new way to spend your lonely weekends without damaging your beauty sleep? Be accountable for your hours without the feeling of being deprived a day off with a pint of online shopping. Lazada takes a whole new approach on the favorite girl past time, shopping, by making major purchases accessible online. This online shopping website gives you the ultimate shopping experience minus the going out of the house part. People obsess over social media because those away from their friends or loved one are able to do what they love best in the comforts of their home. Less commitment but more conversations are made. The same idea goes with online shopping. You get to shop until you drop or in this case, run out of charge or internet. But you are able to do all these at your convenience. 

                Lazada online store offers a variety of treats besides their overflowing number of products for sale. They have a wonderful range of discounted products just waiting for you. You have a wide range of products to choose from with prices flexible to your budget. It also lessens the time you shop because items are easier to find. They can be arranged in price order, popularity and brand names doable with a drop down menu. In addition to this, you can buy countless number of items and not be overwhelmed by its quantity because all of it will be delivered straight to your home. If there’s anything that’s stopping me from shopping besides the sudden lack of funds, it’s the idea of holding too many bags all at once and not being able to comfortably go home. I am speaking from a commuter’s point of view. Waiting in line for a cab with a dozen paper bags can be a bit overdramatic. It also yells out “rob me” which isn’t something I would want. I have this tendency of bringing more than the necessary items for shopping and stuffing them in my big bags. Adding a few more bags that my two hands can’t carry comfortably lessens my shopping jitters. 

                Online shopping can be very invigorating especially after a hard day at work. But if I were to choose between shopping and lying on my bed, I would without and second thought choose the latter part. But if that were to happen, I would never be able to pamper myself and see my hard work pay off. Online shopping websites give me a sense of relief because it’s a lot more doable and to be honest advisable for people like me who are regularly stressed over work. Also, going online gives me a lot more options than going to the mall. Multitasking can definitely be enhanced in this form of pastime. I get to browse several websites and talk to my friends on Facebook on the side. If you think about it, there shouldn’t even be any question whether or not online shopping deserves a medal for its selfless act of service.

               

Sour turned sweet thanks to lazada

I was so sad about the recent turnouts of the election that I couldn’t help but rant online like what I normally do when I’m upset about something. An online shopping website called Lazada PH caught my eye because of their highly rated discounts. Who knew something good could come out of hating on the government? Or maybe it was just out of pure luck but either way, it was a find I am every bit of thankful for. At the end of the day, I ended up purchasing a few sets of DVDs. I wouldn’t say it was a smart move but I’d say it was pretty decent considering how rarely I update my collection. I have complete seasons of Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill, The OC and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A Smallville set was just one step closer to completing the most watched series of my generation. Plus it doesn’t hurt that Tom Welling oozes sex appeal. I signed up for their newsletter just because I wanted to know when their latest craze sale was going to be. The day after, I got a promo email from them suggesting that I check out their website for the latest discounts. And checked I did. Again, luck was on my side as every item published was 20% off. The second time I visit and get an amazing offer again. But as I visited the next day after that, I realized how it wasn’t luck that was getting all the discounts. It was the site itself. Out of ignorance, I didn’t know that they offered discounted items daily. But the most obvious thing ever got to me eventually. I haven’t purchased anything since the DVDs but I’m convinced it won’t be the last time I will ever buy for them.

                There are a lot of things different with this site that set itself apart from the rest. Generally, the interface was a lot nicer and easier than others. It was organized according to how I’d want to browse my options and all were labeled very well. I don’t ordinarily pay attention to details such as description but it sure does help a lot in the decision process to get a perfect image of the items as vivid as I can. There are also some items grouped together according to seasonal usage which shockingly came very useful in the browsing aspect. Most items of the same category that are discounted are presented on the homepage that make it convenient for customers to see the best deals.  I can be very idealistic when it comes to the stuff I like which is why it’s always preferable for me to have a lot of choices. There’s always that extra good feeling when the goods I find are out of accidents or are unintentional. So coming across Lazada Online Store was definitely gold for me. I have high expectations on the days to come because I am in hope that I will never get tired of visiting.
