Lazada Philippines’ and the Development of E-Commerce in the Country


It was more than a decade ago when the birth of the internet paved way to an alternative commerce. While the  internet was mainly used to share and search for information, other novel ideas sprouted hence the infusion of commerce in the worldwide web.  In fact, internet-based commerce ceased to become an alternative way of doing business because fact is, it became a major player that impacted not only the local market but it cut across the borders of other countries as well. To simply put it, nobody, even I, would really imagine that I will be doing business with a client on the other side of the globe or buy books, clothing and my favorite brand in the U.S. without having to spend for the hefty plane ticket and hard to get visas. So when e-commerce hit the local market, it was not surprising that Lazada Philippines will be at the helm.

The online shopping site became a major player in online shopping that it even bested other older online shopping sites. Perhaps one reason is the wide range of choices that you can easily find in Lazada Philippines from the usual clothing, bags and accessories, latest trends, home decors and other home improvement stuff, books, movies, electronics and gadgets and many more. The online shop also offers products from well-known and reputable brands hence ensuring quality and style that will to your taste like it appealed to mine. 

Other great features that appeal to customers

Apart from having great choices from numerous brands, free shipping anywhere you are in the country is a feature that benefits any customer. Compared to the days of old wherein a shopper in Davao, Kalibo or some far-flung area in Cebu will be contented to buy what local shopping stores could offer, buying at Lazada Philippines is a refreshing and great alternative that gives shoppers more choices. However, it is understandable that there is a minimum amount of purchase to avail of the free delivery and that is just 1,000 pesos worth of assorted or a single item. In case you are set to purchase only one item with a cost that is below the minimum amount to avail of the free delivery, you can still have your items sent to you for a small delivery charge. The delivery fee is a mere 55 pesos if you are living within Metro Manila or 99 pesos if you are living in other parts of the country. I think this is a good deal because it comes out cheaper than using other courier services.

Convenient Payment Option  

Another great feature is the payment options. You can choose the mode of payment that will be most convenient for you. For those who are living in Metro Manila or those who have credit cards, you can use your cards for your online purchases at Lazada Philippines. But if you don’t have a credit card under your name, don’t fret since the popular online shopping site also offers Cash on Delivery (COD) mode of payment. Lastly, the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall offers a 30-Day return policy for defective products, which is not offered in other online shopping sites at all.
