Shopping
was never really my thing until I found a mobile app perfect for me. I was
scanning through some shopping apps when I came across Lazada’s. Now, I’ve
heard of the shop and I know how common it is now to go shopping online. But up
until I downloaded an actual shopping application, I have never really done
anything close to buying online.
I
tried it out using my iPad at first but apparently the app is exclusive to
Android users only. Thankfully, my phone’s a Samsung Note 2 so I was able to
download it. I was very particular about the app I was going to get because I
didn’t want an application with products in US dollars. And since majority of
the apps downloadable are U.S. based, it wasn’t an easy task.
So anyway, at first I admit I was a bit lost given no
background on how these things work but you’ll get a hang of it because
everything’s just basically arranged according to categories. Appliances,
Furniture, Fashion, etc are placed according to the popularity. If you’re not
comfortable with the clean slate of the app, you can always access it desktop
style in your mobile phone.
Everything you generally need in terms of information are
provided on the application so you don’t have to worry about lacking certain
details to accomplish a submission form. I suggest using the app over the site
though the site is just as easy to use because the application is easier to
access. Unlike when you don’t have it and you have to type in the site. Having
the icon handy to access anytime is much more practical.
Lazada has five different methods of payments available. You
can pay using your credit card as long as it is either VISA or MasterCard or
you can pay in cash via Cash on Delivery. There’s PayPal, which can be very
useful for those who regularly shops with their credit card. MegaLink last time
I checked is exclusively found in Lazada as it’s the first e-commerce website
in the Philippines the network partnered with. For those on a budget and would
rather pay in installments, Banco De Oro (BDO) also offers that as long as you
abide with the P3, 000 minimum single receipt purchase.
If you are just as lazy as me to go to the mall, you will
find many reasons to as why online shopping is just more preferable than the
traditional way. All items ordered get delivered straight to your choice of
location. Minimum purchases that amount to P1, 000 and above are eligible for
free delivery service anywhere in the Philippines. But for purchases below said
rate, certain fees correspond to certain locations. All deliveries made within
the vicinity of Metro Manila with purchase/s below P1, 000 are priced at P55
and locations elsewhere are priced at P99. All the deliveries are made by LBC
and 2GO. These are the official partners of the website that guarantee
efficient and quality service each time.
