Flexible but Reliable Payment Methods

When it comes to online shopping, there are very few sites that I trust. Yes, I am very picky because I do not want to be one of those who were victimized either by sites with sub-standard products and services, or complete scammers. In this regard, I put my full trust in Lazada Philippines.

 

My online shopping site

Lazada Philippines is not the sole online shopping site I go to, but it is one of my favorites. And I believe a lot of other online shoppers in the Philippines feel the same way since this site has already been dubbed as the Philippines’ online shopping mall. I even recommend it to my family, friends and colleagues. The truth is, there are a lot of things to discover and love about this site. Included herein are its flexible but reliable payment methods.

Payment method options

 

There are generally two ways by which customers can pay for the items we bought in Lazada Philippines—through credit/debit card, and via the cash on delivery method. Personally, I prefer the latter. But just the same, credit/debit card payment is also a welcome option for online shoppers.

Cash on Delivery

 

to pay for the items I bought after the latter has already been delivered to me. One convenience that I see here is that this method allows me to make an urgent purchase while allowing me to save up at the same time.

For instance, there are times when I just need or want to buy an item so badly but I do not have enough cash at hand. But the payday is just a day away. In this case, the cash on delivery payment method will be the best option since I can already place an order and have enough money just in time the following day.

Another convenience is the fact that I am assured that the items I pay for will safely reach my hands. That means I will not be paying for anything that I do not actually touch or see. This is unlike the case with other unfortunate shoppers who paid for items that never reached their hands.

Credit card and debit payment

Lastly, there is the credit/debit card payment method. Just as is true with the previous one, this method allows me to purchase items even if I do not have sufficient cash at hand; but provided that I have enough credits of course.

Payment via credit/debit cards is popular nowadays. It is very convenient, plus it allows me to order even a number of items as long as it is within my credit limit. Then essentially, I will just have to pay for it when by credit card bill is due.

Another thing that I highly commend about this payment method from Lazada Philippines is that the latter partnered with VISA and MasterCard. These are two of the biggest and most trusted names when it comes to credit card and debit card payments. This is true not just in the Philippines, but all over the globe.

Online Shopping for the Non-Techie

I was first introduced to the Lazada Philippines by my friend Irene. She knew that I was an avid online shopper and has made several online purchases over the course of a few years. Most of my previous purchases were transacted in several other sites such as ebay.ph and multiply.com, so having not heard about this website made me initially wary. With the constant hype and positive feedback given to me by my friend, I decided to give this website a try.

User-Friendly Site

One of the things my friend Irene told me was that the layout of the website was impressive. I thought she was just exaggerating a bit but when I finally entered the site, I was impressed myself. The layout was easy enough to go around in and looking for items I would potentially like to buy was easy to find as well. Since I needed to replenish my skincare and fragrance stash at home, adding items to my online cart was done in the speed of light.

When it was time to choose my payment options, I was surprised that they offer the Cash on Delivery option. Out of a whim, I clicked on this option, just to try it out. Soon after I was done with my online transaction, a friendly customer service representative of Lazada Philippines had called me on my mobile phone to confirm my purchase and other personal information I had typed in earlier. Not many online shopping sites offer this added customer service and I was really impressed that they had it. It eased my mind from thinking whether my transaction had entered into their system or not. For those who plan to make purchases at this website, please keep your mobile phones near you since they will definitely call to confirm your purchases.

Cash On Delivery Fan

At the website, it indicates that the delivery of packages usually takes 5 to 10 days to arrive. On the fifth day upon my purchase, my package of goodies finally arrived! I did not have to pay the delivery fee since the website had a free delivery available option which was really great. Since I had chosen the Cash on Delivery payment option, I simply paid for my purchases upon its arrival. This, in my opinion, is the best payment option for those who are concerned and wary of making purchases online. To ensure the safety of my package, they used LBC to deliver my items and even wrapped it in bubble wrap.

I will definitely make future purchases at Lazada Philippines. With the utterly friendly customer service representatives and the added services such as free delivery available, an impressive 14-day return policy and various payment options such as Cash on Delivery and Credit Card Payments, it is truly the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall.

An Online Shopping Site to Beat

Finding a reliable online shopping site is not a piece of cake. Given the wide variety of choices, it can actually be a bit disorienting. In my case, I had to try various sites in order to find the best among the bunch—www.lazada.com.ph.

Online shopping horror stories

Online shopping horror stories are not new to me at all. I have heard of and read about the unfortunate experience of other online shoppers who encountered problems along the way. For instance, there are those who had major delays in their deliveries. What was supposed to be given to them in a week, took more than a month! There were also those who frequently experience wrong deliveries.

Fortunately for me, I never experienced these with Lazada Philippines. Their deliveries were always on time. Plus, the items I receive are in good condition. So brush away those horror stories because I’m going to give you several reasons why you, too, should shop at this site.

They got it all for you

In this site, they got it all for us online shoppers. From books to electronic gadgets, home decor, fashion items, sports apparel and even movies—name it and they have it. No wonder then that this site is known as the Philippines’ online shopping mall.

It is a one-stop shop for all my shopping needs. Gone are the days when I had to endure achy feet and legs because I had to go store hopping just to find what I need. With the wide variety of items in this site’s inventory, I am able to get everything I am looking for in just one sitting and with a click of a mouse. Hence, I find this site very useful especially when I need to buy several items—for instance during Christmas and multiple birthday celebrations.

PCI DSS certified

 

Another good thing about this online shopping site which really impressed me is its secured transaction lines. In fact, it is PCI DSS certified. What does that mean, you ask? Well, that means that the IT system of the site passed the highest standard in the e-commerce industry which is the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.

This site has the best protection against cybercrimes like credit card hacking and identity theft. In fact, it would take decades for even the most experienced and professional hackers just to break into the system.

For us shoppers, that means we do not have to fret about identity theft and leaking of our personal information which can be used against us. This has been the case with shoppers whose personal information was hacked and later on they realized that their credits and money were all used up to purchase items by the identity thief.

Reliable delivery partners

 Last but certainly not the least, Lazada Philippines has reliable delivery partners—LBC and 2Go. These are actually two of the most credible and reputable courier services in the country. Hence, I am at peace that my package is in good hands. Not only will it be delivered to me at the promised time, it will also be well taken care of during the shipment process.
