We
all have been curious in online shopping. Some may have tried it in past too
many times and some don’t even dare to try it at all because of security
doubts. Either way, we all know that online shopping exist as an option for us
to avail. It actually took a while to make an immediate impact in the country.
Too many Ecommerce Company in the past failed horribly. Personally, I think
their timing was a bit off. The economy in the country was still recovering
then. But compared to the present, it is no surprise that Ecommerce made some
improvements in their penetration to the local market now that the economy is
on the rise. But does online shopping justify our needs in our shopping needs
over traditional shopping? If this was a question asked a few years ago then
I'm pretty sure that everyone in local community will definitely say no. For
online shopping to be accepted by a customer, an online mall should have good
credibility. Online malls are actually scary to deal with since a there's a
chance some of them are just scams and frauds. The populations of the local
consumers in the Philippines only have a few credit cardholders.
Evidently,
this makes the local customers very skeptic about shopping online on online
malls. Having a secured credit card online is very important for an online
store have. These details are usually thought of by customers should they
decide to shop online. This drastically changed when Lazada was launched in the
Philippines a year ago. They actually came in with a solution on how they can
eliminate the Ecommerce woes in the Philippines. An alternative payment method
was introduced to solve most of the Ecommerce issues in the Philippines. They
call this payment method Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. Customers can relax and not
worry since they feel secured with this kind of payment method.
By
having this option, customers are not required to surrender their credit card
details and can try their service without risking too much. How will this help
the shopping of customers in online? Any online customer can visit their
website and view their huge selections. There is no need to pay right away in
case customers figured out which one they want to buy. Customers are not
required to pay upfront if they select Cash on Delivery for their orders to be
processed. Customers can relax as soon as they provide their shipment details
and wait for its arrival, which is around two to five days upon order date.
Once customers receive their orders that are the only time they are required to
pay in cash. Customers can avail free delivery if their orders go beyond one
thousand pesos. With this setup, customers will be assured that they are
covered since they won’t need to pay right away until their order arrives their
address. It's actually surreal to see that a customer has the upper hand over
online stores.
Great post!! I am impressed with the article and thanks very much for sharing good information.
