We are all aware of the rising trend in the country, which is online shopping. It has become a popular alternative shopping method that everyone is taking advantage of. The good thing about online shopping is, it is more convenient than shopping in traditional malls. It consumes our energy, time and money. As compared to online shopping, anyone can do it pretty much wherever and whenever they want. They can even do it on their phones, which make online shopping way easier. All they need to have is any Internet capable device with online access and they can do their shopping.
How convenient is that. But the question we have to ask ourselves is that how did it started? Why did Filipinos is sort of embracing this alternative option. We are all aware that change is something we are very cautious about. We tend to justify every angle and at times contest the change such as what are the risks involved. It only natural I guess. It’s no secret that online scams and frauds happen every now and then. To know that we are aware of this, really makes us wonder how did we end up trusting online shopping as our alternative destination for our shopping needs. We have not experienced local online shopping in the previous years. So how did it begun? It all started just last year when you come to think of it. The same year Lazada, the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall, was launched in the country. Since their arrival in the local online scene, other local online shopping malls jumped in the competition.
Thanks to them, we now have multiple options on where to shop online. This made local businessmen realize online business’ true potential. They actually arrived during the time where no one believed in online shopping. To us, it was just another way to expose ourselves from risks. Risk that involved getting our credit cards or Paypal account hacked. It also involves paying for something that doesn’t get delivered. To make it simple, online shopping had a lot of adversities in the country. It was more of a risk than a reward no matter how much cheaper products are being sold. So how did they helped bring down the barrier for these Ecommerce woes we had in the country? They introduced as problem solving alternative payment method that will avoid these current issues then that made online shopping a thing to avoid by Filipinos. “Cash on Delivery” or some got fond of calling as COD, is a simple and easy to understand payment method. Forget the conventional payment methods wherein you input your credit card details or Paypal account, which is quite complicated for some. All the customers need to do is order anything from their website and just leave their shipment details. No need to pay it upfront which is the conventional setup between an online customer and online store.
Lazada Online Mall will then deliver your order at your very home. Once you get the order package at your doorstep, that’s when you get to pay them in cash. This way, it makes us feel secured about our money since you get to see and inspect the item first before paying. It also doesn’t require you to expose your credit card details even if they have a secured line like other international Ecommerce stores have installed on their website.
