Thank you for reading my blog!

Today’s blog post is all about my favourite online shopping destination. I’ve been shopping for this site for more than a year. I have experienced ups and downs with the site and I believe I can give a wise review. The website I am reviewing is Lazada Philippines.

Launched in the Philippines last February 2012, it has become a go to website for different products from electronics to furniture.  It became a home for different brands from local to international. When I first visited the site, I was impressed with the variety of products to choose from. And until today, the site has been encouraging resellers to sell their product in the internet platform.

I do not trust online shops easily. I always make sure to do my research first. And Lazada has a lot of positive reviews that convinced me to make my first purchase. I barely recall my first order in the website but what made me appreciate it are there daily vouchers (it includes sale) and flash sales. I have never encountered that kind of website. It is a thumb up for me. Plus, they give discounts to different products every day.

When ordering in the website, one must first register in the site. Honestly, I can say it is easy to register and only require few minutes. When you are done registering, you can avail a 250 voucher on your first purchase. A good save! You can now start shopping! Lazada Philippines delivers anywhere in the Philippines. Delivery period depends on the area. As for me, I expect the delivery of my orders 5-6 days from dispatched. You will know if the items are already out for delivery because they will send you an email and text your number for the waybill details. Very convenient, isn’t it? There is a shipping fee amounting to 100 pesos if you purchase below 1000 pesos. Above 1000 is of free shipping.

If you will experience delay of orders just like what happened to me, you can always follow-up your orders on their social media platforms like facebook, instagram, twitter or on their website just fill-up the form. Once you have sent it, and email confirmation will be delivered to your email. They will also call you for update regarding your delayed orders. It is something I did not encounter with other sites. If you also have received defective, damaged or wrong items, you can make use of their return form and send it back to the nearest LBC outlet. They will get back to you once they received your return form slip.

What I love about Lazada is they live with their tagline “effortless shopping”. I did not exert much effort on shopping in the site, everything I is in there. Though I experience delay of shipment sometimes, there customer service has been efficient in informing me what is happening on my orders. I don’t have any negative comments on the website because I’ve been satisfied with the service they are giving me.

I do recommend Lazada on those people who love shopping in the comfort of their home. Whether its new trend on fashion, mobile, lifestyle and appliance, you know this site can live up to your expectation. I would rate it with 3.5 out of 5 because it has good quality products but the logistics are needed to be improved. Delayed of shipment has to be minimize specially from the products in the marketplace.

Here are some of the products I’ve bought in Lazada.

Happy Shopping!

Tomato.ph Online Shop Review

Hey there!

Thank you for reading my blog!

Just like other girls, I am also totally hooked with shopping online. I have posted my experience shopping at Zalora. It was a very pleasant one. So my expectation for other online shops is high. I come across Tomato.ph when I saw their posting in Facebook last September exactly 100 days before Christmas that they will have a 50% off in all their items! I feel ecstatic! I directly visited their website. 

It’s cute. Super red, I saw JC De Vera and that time I knew he was the endorser of it. All I know about tomato is their SWAP watch. And as I visited their website, I was introduced to their variety of products. I personally love their watches and bags. At first, I was asking myself if the picture and the actual would be the same but yeah, I can assure you, they are. 

The 50% off just lasted for 120 hours or two hours. I manage of pull of all my favourites in my cart. I was dizzy, if only I can have them all. But no, time and money constraint will not allow me. I proceed for checkout. I applied the code for 50% off. I only paid more than 3k for the transaction. It was smooth until I read that the areas covered by Cash on Delivery are outdated. Our province was listed in there but they said it is not. I was used with Zalora paying on my trasaction through Cash on Delivery. I paid through RCBC. I took a photo of my deposit slip and send it in their Viber and through their Payment Form.

I waited for more than three days before they confirm my payment. I was disappointed as well when they inform me that some of the products I choose were out of stock already. But I commend their Customer Service Representative for pacifying me. They give me different choices. I was able to choose. They process my orders for two days. And after more than a week, I finally have my orders delivered to me.

Honestly, I feel that they process orders really slow maybe because I ordered on the sale period. They compensate me with their product. They have very nice products. It is chic. I have their watches, wallets, bags and shoes. They did not disappoint me at all. Very worthy of every penny I spend.

I had my second purchase last week, it is faster than my last purchase but the product quality is still the same. Just want to say if you want to shop at Tomato, you have to pay early. Your orders will be process once your payment is acknowledged.  All in all, you’ll love Tomato. They may process slow but patience is a virtue right. 

By the way, they are celebrating 10 years in Business.

Happy 10^th year Anniversary Tomato!

The Red Tag and What can you Do About It

Hey there!

Thank you for reading my blog!

Credits to the Owner of the Photo

I have so many back logs in blogging, if you notice; my blog has no post for many days and hopefully, with this post. I can be back on track.

Hope you’ll learn from this!  

Christmas is around the corner! And we all know that Malls all over the country and online shops are ready to give us a treat!  Christmas means, a lot of brands will be on SALE! Yep, that red tag we are itching to get a hold will finally be unveiled! That shoes we lust for months will cut its price to half, don’t you love it? But the downfall of it is, we will be able to splurge more that the usual. It’s not every day that those products will be affordable that becomes our mind set.

The mind set has made a lot of shopping wannabe’s broke. Yeah, sad reality but the positive side of this is, you can be an exception. You can buy a lot but not losing your money afterwards yet you’ll have your pocket full! Curious about what I’m saying? Let’s use the thinking of “no tomorrow in shopping when on sale” to earn.  

That mind set of no tomorrow can be taken advantage without burning all your cash and most especially, gaining some extra income from it. You can try this too if you like. How to have an extra income from sale? If you have extra cash and you know lots of fashionistas, this sideline is for you.

 All you have to do is be aware of online shops, if possible, follow them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Most online shops, post there Sale days on their social media accounts. If you already did it, you’re on the right track. Next is visiting your social media accounts once in a while. Then make sure to visit there page once in a whileyou’ll be updated with Sale. For example, last September 17, 2014 Tomato’s online shop has a 100 minute sale! 50% on all there items! Imagine those watches bothering you to have a hold will be yours for 50% off!  Including SWAP watch! I was so excited to choose what bags, shoes and watches to buy! It will never be possible if I did not visit there page. If you already spotted when the Sale is, try to post those products on sale on your FB or any social media accounts so that your friends and friends’ friends will be aware of what you are selling. Just make sure to price your items correctly and tally them so that no mispricing happened. You will be amaze on how your friends will react to it. If you have your orders ready, then start buying your orders and have extra for them to choose! And that’s it! Your sideline is running! Just be sure that you shop in a secure site especially if you are using credit card!

             

That’s all for today’s post friends! 

I’ll be posting my Tomato Shopping Experience once my orders will arrive!
