I
must admit I love to shop but I have never and I mean never paid using credit
card, in fact I don’t even own one. Don’t get me wrong I have good financial
standing with my bank but it is really a personal choice not to rely on paying
through credit card for the simple reason that I detest debt! Yes, you heard it
right—debt! A lot of people keep on using their plastics without even
considering that they are slowly but surely burying themselves to debt. This is
the reason why I initially didn’t want to shop online because I know that I
would be forced to pay using credit card but when my friend told me that Lazada
Philippines was different I was curious.
Lo
and behold it was true! I never expected that an online store can truly provide
more than one payment option for its customers. But after I did a background
check on Lazada Philippines I learned that it was under Rocket Internet which
is a huge deal since this company is the fastest growing and one of the most
accomplished online venture builders in the planet! In fact I just learned that
there are more than a hundred companies that owe their successes to Rocket
Internet so when I learned this I knew right away that the online shop dubbed
as the Philippines’ Online Shopping Mall (Lazada) is as legit as you can get.
Cash on Delivery
Like
I mentioned I am credit card-averse and I was really thrilled to know that
Lazada Philippines would allow me to pay in cash! Not only does it give me the
option to pay in cash, I get to see the product first before I actually pay for
it. Lazada’s cash on delivery scheme is not only very convenient for
financially conscious people like me but it also provides a sense of security
since the customers will never fall victims to scams and other trickery that is
a bit common among illegitimate online stores. Imagine that, you get to inspect
the product you ordered and you get to keep it first before you shed you
hard-earned money.
Credit Card
Nevertheless,
Lazada is not single-track business, it aims to please the entire market so for
those people who still prefer paying using credit card, like some of my
friends, they can still do so. The good thing about this is that, Lazada set up
a system that will provide protection to every online credit transaction which
means less risk when it comes to hacking and identity theft.
Over the Counter
But
then again if paying over the counter is your thing, then you can go right
ahead and pay through popular establishments like 7-Eleven and SM Business
Centers, among others. You can also pay through your favorite bank if this is
what makes you most comfortable.
As
you can see, Lazada is only interested in keeping us happy and by ensuring that
a wider market could avail of their amazing services.
