Lazada Philippines: Shopping online that suits our needs

Nowadays, being connected online has been part of our daily routine. With the arrival of smartphones and the ever evolving Internet speed, it has become easier for everyone to be connected online. Most of us check our emails and the latest news via mobile technology the next thing we wake up in the morning. This is a sign that Internet is part of our culture already. One thing that also stands out in online besides social media is shopping online. However we ask ourselves, does online shopping justify our needs in our shopping needs over traditional shopping? If this was asked in the mid-2000, a lot of us would have said no on online shopping. For customers to even consider online shopping, the online mall should have great credibility before it can eventually be considered.

Actually, a lot of us not are at ease when it comes to online shopping since we are all aware of online scams and frauds. It's more challenging for online shopping to be accepted in the country because only a few possesses their own credit card. It makes it clear to everyone on why local customers really have a hard time trying online shopping. Most importantly, customers usually check if the credit card line for transaction is fully secured. 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. Once the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall arrived in the country they have a solution on how they will the local Ecommerce grow in the country.

An alternative payment method was introduced to solve most of the Ecommerce issues in the Philippines. This was called Cash on Delivery or C.O.D. payment method. People can actually trust them with this kind of setup in online. The local online customers can actually try their service out since they won't risk too much on their end like giving away their credit card details and paying in advance. How can customers work on this setup? From their huge selection of items, the local online customers can select which category they like as they visit their website. Customers that selected what they want to buy in the website are necessarily required to pay upfront. Unlike conventional online stores, customers are not required to pay upfront before their orders are processed.

All the customers need to do is relax until their order arrives at their home which usually takes about two to five days. Customers are only required to pay in cash only after order package is handed over to them in real time. Delivery fees will be free as long as the order values of customers are above one thousand pesos. These allow customers to have assurance that they are safe since they get to keep their money up until it is delivered to them. It is actually surprising that an online store is willing to have this setup with their customers, which is very unconventional.
