Lazada Philippines—Raising the Bar for Online Shopping

Before the invention of the internet, a lot of things that we are taking for granted now are done differently. For starters, the way we talk and communicate with other people have become quicker and more accessible. Our ability to gather information and digest media has also changed significantly. Even the way we buy things have become entirely different. One of the by-products of this evolution is online shopping and Lazada Philippines is changing that again.

We used to buy things by going to malls or their actual stores. We had to canvass around for the item in question, looking for the best brand and best prices from different shops until we found that is perfect for our budget and tastes. Then you had to go there, get the item, wait in line, and pay for it. Then you had to take it back home with you before you actually get to use it. It's a big hassle and a very cumbersome process. Fortunately, things are slowly changing with the advent of social media and online retail shops. Nowadays, you can simply go to Facebook or Multiply to look for items sold by online retailers, contact them via direct message or thru text, handle the transactions for payments, and wait for the delivery or schedule a meet-up. It was so easy buying things from the net since I don't have to get out of the house for too long and it easy to compare prices. Not only that, but the prices are actually a bit cheaper when compared to shops since they don't have to pay rent so they can lower their prices even more.

I was sure that those online stores were the evolution of the shopping experience but I was very much wrong. When I discovered Lazada Philippines, I knew this would be a game changer. A simple glance at their website would be enough to tell you that this was no ordinary online shop. They had a dedicated support page, customer service, and they have their very own website! This was truly a different experience all together. From their web page, you can create your very own user account with a log-in and password. You can view all your orders and even have a wish list of sorts to remind yourself about the item that you would want to buy when you have enough cash. There is also a virtual shopping cart where you put your items that you want to buy and just like a real shopping mall, you first gather all the items you want to purchase before paying for them.

Payment is a non-issue as well. Before, I needed to get out of the house and find a bank that the seller has an account in. With the Philippines' Online Shopping Mall, there is no need for that since they accept credit card payments before being delivered right at my doorstep! You literally don't have to get out of your house anymore and that is a very big time- and energy-saver for my part. I thought that online shops were already the end of the line for the shopping experience but Lazada Philippines has raised the bar to an all new level!
