Cheap speakers in good quality from Lazada

During my free time, I see to it I get to finish errands to stop myself from procrastinating or doing something not worth my time. Whenever I get the chance, I go online and check out popular websites I hear from friends or see advertised on the net. The most recent website I visited was Lazada Philippines. I saw their ad flash on my Facebook and was taken aback by the items they had that were discounted. I consider finding good discounts one of my guilty pleasures. There's just so much adrenaline for me when I find something that I really like and I get to buy for a really cheap price. I have been called a thrift thief by my friends for having most of the items in my apartment bought from bazaars and yard sales. I live in Quezon City and where I live, most houses throw yard sales just like the ones you see in American movies.

For some reason, my neighbors like getting rid of their furniture that are still in good condition. And for a cheap hoarder like myself, I hit the jackpot. But since online selling has been up in the ceiling, I have found myself hoarding online as well. The cheap stuff, of course. So Lazada was like one of my ticket in to getting a new set of of entertainment system for my living room. I've always wanted to install a music set but I could never find any that were cheap enough for me to buy. Don't think I only spend in hundreds because then that would be ridiculous. I'm willing to spend a reasonable amount for something I incredibly want but if there's any way I can suspend buying to wait for an upcoming sale, let's just say I wouldn't mind waiting until something of such comes up.

I was browsing through Lazada's Consumer Electronics Home Audio selection, my eyes lit up at the sight of a Prestiz HM 3202A 21 Channel Speaker Home Theater System worth only P1, 600. This might not come as cheap to you but it's way below my supposed budget for a music system and that's saying a lot since I like all things cheap. I have been checking out quite a lot of stores online and offline for a while now and it was the first time I saw a set of speakers worth a lot below 2,000. It arrived two days ago and though I have not come around getting it installed, I am very much impressed with the quality of the sounds.

At first I was scared to buy it because if there's anything I learned from buying stuff that are below their original price, it's that they're cheap because they're broken. Lazada offered free return up to a week so I was confident I'd still be able to get my money back if it turned out poor in quality. And I'm happy I wasn't disappointed. No returns for me this time.

Claim an additional 10% discount on selected items with the use of any VISA credit card. Items in the said promo include Android phones, cameras, bags and many more.  

It's always nice to take advantage of these types of promos because for one thing, they don't always come around. And another, rarely do consumers know where exactly these kinds of promos are publicized. It's a shame not a lot of people are aware that they can save this much money for items both in demand and under the radar. But luckily, online stores are given more acknowledgement now compared to its publicity before.  

A lot of online stores are making it hard for customers to resist the kind of promos they offer. With so many online sites to compete with, only a few are really able to market its promos well. And it doesn't take a genius to realize how great of an opportunity the said promos by online stores are. It's just a matter of not letting it slip away and taking it while it lasts.

The epic day I preferred online shopping to mall shopping

Long weekends can serve you good IF you actually have something amazing planned out for it. But if you're just as clueless as I am and you thought the weekend will unravel itself as each day went by, then a big fat good luck to you all. It ain't gonna happen. So just like any ordinary corporate woman in her mid-20's with no man in her life, I turned to the internet and looked for ways to keep myself busy. Oh and did I keep myself busy. I wasted an entire day buffering online videos of Don't lie to me, Kitchen Nightmare and Hannibal. It wasn't until my sister came home from her night out with her friends at 3 in the morning that I realized that it was early the next day already. My Saturday was a different story. Scared to watch my day pass by without me even noticing it, I decided to clean the house and do some grocery shopping. It completely skipped my mind that the malls would be jam-packed. When I got to Cash & Carry, my body was brutally murdered. It was like I intended for it to happen since I showed no sign of backing down. It was probably the adrenaline my competitiveness brought upon me. I was determined to cross out every item in my imaginary check list and was a bit bummed I was unable to purchase them all by the end of the day.  

When I got home, my sister was on the couch watching reruns on The Voice. She asked me how my day went and that's when I lost it. I WAS ON FIRE. And not the good kind. I was so pissed because two days out of my three-day vacation were beyond useless. She told me I should have just bought some of it online like the set of kitchen knives I had in one bag and a new oven toaster to replace the one that overheated a few weeks ago. For a moment there, I wanted to stab my sister for only reminding me then. But I realized it wouldn't make the situation any better if I did. So I went online and was so close to tears after seeing Lazada Philippines with majority of what I bought on hand. To lessen my frustration for the night, I decided to buy the rest of what was in my imaginary check list online. Lazada even had a 10% discount offer for all BDO credit users for the day which put me to hate overdrive. My day would have been a lot less crowded and infuriating if only I checked online first before leaving the house. That's something to remind myself of the next time I want to take a trip to the mall. I never thought I would prefer going online to going to the mall ever in my life. I don't know how kids do it these days. The people today are not only arrogant. They're nasty.

Lazada sells not just its product buts its good service as well


Smooth selling isn't easy. If there's any company that can make it look easy, it's probably San Miguel or Ayala Corporation. But then that would mean that we would be stuck with these ageless brands making no room for up and coming sellers. If that became the case, then that would sadly be tolerating a type of economy that closes gates for new ideas. And for a country trying to gain respect from other neigboring countries in this aspect, this is terribly devestating not to mention discrete dictatorship. Thankfully, we are anything but that kind. New companies are encouraged to establish business entities and are given the freedom to pratice whatever nature of work they please.  

Lazada PH isn't your traditional kind of selling company but this doesn't isolate them from the rest of the successful and prestigious companies out there. Its unconventional manner of pre-selling paved way for many brands that are overlooked in malls because of its competitors' big names. A consignment store that sees to it that all types of brands are given the same type of recognition through various promotions. It singlehandedly dethrowned competition that have existed far longer than they have. Not through massive media advertisements but through its pure product service. 

Bad service can eliminate you from the frontline but good service, now that gets you elsewhere. Somewhere better. Talk is cheap especially when the company is unable to provide the service they proudly rave about. But Lazada has made itself worthy of its customers' trust with its long list of methods that have proven to be true by the customers themselves. They have a one week return policy that allows customers to return orders that may have been damaged during the delivery which is highly unlikely since shipments are done by either LBC or 2GO, two very well respected companies in their fields or have malfunctioned due to the quality of how it was manufactured. A list of possible mishaps are listed on the website that makes a customer eligible to return his order for a complete refund if deemed not the fault of the buyer. They are also accredited by PCI-DSS, an online security company that ensures customer registration in connection with any form of financial privacy. Products come with warranties up to 2 years in case the one week return with full refund expires. This serves as both protection and benefit for the customers. Setting aside the fact that they have an impressive catalogue that customers of all types can browse any day and time of the week, this online mall gives everyone equal opportunities of purchasing quality items that may not be sold all over the country. The shipments are available nationwide so even shopping addicts in the province can be provided accordingly. The promos will get you curious especially those discounts that reach up to 90%. But the service that comes along with every purchase is what will guarantee your return with maybe an even bigger purchase than before.

Stir up your responsibilities and make it fun and exciting. There's no reason why you have to torture yourself when buying items for your newly renovated house. Being responsible doesn't have be directly proportionate to boring. Online shopping puts a whole new twist to the word 'responsibility'.

Lazada Philippines is a great online store to check out when looking for a variety of item all due at the same time. Who said you have to leave your house to get things done? Thanks to technology that goes side by side with the internet, we are exposed to better options and opportunities to make our lives better. With the improvement of online shopping comes the strengthening of the security of customer transactions. Because a lot more people are getting into this latest trend, more people are voicing out their concerns regarding the privacy of the personal information they willingly surrender to their respective favorite online stores. Also, sellers now offer big ticket items worth ten time a normal piece of clothing. These expensive items when paid over the internet have to stay well, private.  A lot of departments ensure that this is put to work on a daily basis which customers confide in when making a final purchasing decision. If a company cannot be relied on when it comes to infromation whether personal or financial, the reputation of online shopping website will massively decrease affecting years of effort to put it where it is now.

It is owned by German entrepreneurs called the Samwer brothers who own an empire of online ventures scattered all over the world. This line of website has versions in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Vietnam as well. Though it has only been a little over a year in existence in the Philippines, its age (in experience) has in no way become a hindrance to its growth both in profit and good reputation. With the help of the best computer programmers in different fields in the Philippines, it has overcome all obstacles and made it possible to raise millions in profit.

Online shopping can be fun because you get to choose from a lot of options one tab at a time without moving a beat. Also, you can list down the items that appeal to you the most and have complete control over when you want to buy your item/s. Shopping has always been fun when it's about items that you like (clothes, gadgets, etc). But for errands like having to pick out the perfect linen or shoe rack, it can be a buzzkill. So why not do it while checking out personal items as well to make it worthwhile?
