Just imagine, sitting in the comfort of your chair, sipping freshly brewed coffee, as you browse through various online stores, checking out a multitude of shoe brands, styles, colors of your liking and then delivered right to your door step.
However, although online shopping is fun and easy, you should remember to exercise caution online.
- Deal only with reputable merchants/online stores.
- Research about the seller, especially if you are buying high ticket items.
- Make sure that the site is secured before making any payments.
- Keep a copy of your transaction receipts, for reference just in case.
- Check all the details in your purchase before hitting that buy button. Double check return policy and the terms and conditions of the sale.
Sharing here some of my most trusted online merchants ~ personally tried and tested.
I am a sucker for group buying sites. Where else can you get up to 70% discounts on premium items? My two favorite group buy sites are:
- CashCashPinoy - I have been a client since 2012 and I have bought a great deal of items from CashCashPinoy, from travel bags, backpack, restaurant vouchers, etc. In my 2 years buying from them, I have never experienced delayed shipment or problems with my item/s.
- DealGrocer - This site features premium items and I have used it a great deal, whenever I am in a hunt for high-end hotel accommodations.
For fashionable finds, however, I frequent:
- Zalora - I love that they have an extensive selection of children's apparel and shoes, perfect for the kiddos. Check out these trendy sneakers.
- Next in my online stores' list is Lazada. It is my go to online store for electronic items. I literally spend hours just checking out these cool gadgets.
With Online Shopping , everything is literally a click a way.
I never knew online shopping could be fun and not to mention safe as well. Thanks for sharing these sites I'm way too clueless where to shop for fear that it might not be legit.
ReplyDeleteI used to love buying discount vouchers but I remember forgetting to use some of them. However, I've never tried purchasing anything from Zalora or Lazada. I will surely check out their sites :)
ReplyDeleteI don't shop much online but from time to time, I shop at Lazada. They failed me once though by cancelling my order without my knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI love online shopping but I do that mostly on deals, clothes or yung certain books. I've recently been doing some buying through Amazon/ Ebay US kasi they have those things that are not available here in the Philippines (or sometimes just too expensive). I don't usually buy gadgets online though. Scared ako when it comes to handling and shipping and I'd want to check out the condition of the item first and test it out, too, before I buy them.
ReplyDeleteAko, addict na yata ako sa online shopping. Hehe! We need to check din the customer's feedback. Laking tulong sa akin nian lalo na in choosing a legit seller sa IG and FB. Thank you for sharing this post! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I love the watches! My boyfriend will definitely love them. I'm a Certified online shopper, too, and one of my rules is to avoid those sellers without bank accounts!
ReplyDeleteI love also online shopping :-) I used to be an online seller din kasi before. You can save your time and money, I am more comfortable in Zalora than Lazada
ReplyDeleteI have only tried Zalora and Lazada here in PH, no problems, whatsoever. But I've been shopping online for a long time, sa mga sites nga lang sa US, if I can't find what I'm looking for here, besides, most items are cheaper there even with the shipping fee, but I always have them shipped to JAC office in NY, then I'll just get it from JAC office here.
ReplyDeleteHaaay, online shopping will be the end of me. I started to liking buying stuff online after giving birth and it was difficult to leave the house, having a newborn and all. So convenient to just click away!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are online shoppers too. We find it very convenient though iba pa rin ang high ng shopping sa department stores. I haven't tried Deal Grocer. Maybe we can try to get a voucher for a summer getaway. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOnline shopping is my bestfriend right now most especially if i want to buy something for my daughter :)
ReplyDeleteI too love to shop online. But I stay away from websites that sells counterfeit items like the one you mentioned first here. -Macy
ReplyDeleteI'm very maingat when online shopping. First, I try to only buy from stores that use PayPal so that I am protected. But if not, I check out the door if any of my friends or acquaintances shop there.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping from all that you've mentioned also except for deal grocer, which I haven't tried. Online shopping is really super convenient! :)
ReplyDeleteI love online shopping. I find great deals on Korean cosmetics and beauty products and meet new friends (the online store owners) as well. Pag suki ka na...the better ung perks.
ReplyDeleteonline shopping used to be one of my guilty pleasures but i guess i can pat myself on the back for curbing on the habit to give way to saving up more! although, i indulge myself from time to time. my biggest splurge are books, as well as clothes + toys for my little man!
ReplyDeleteI'm into online shopping too, but the first think I check is the feedback. Makikita naman dun kung bogus yung seller, or hindi quality items yung binebenta nila. The wonderful thing about online shopping is you get to feel surprised/joyous when the package arrives. Diba? It's a different kind of "high" :)
ReplyDeleteI already tried the shops in your list except for Lazada. There's too much going on in the site that I get too lazy to click haha.
ReplyDeleteHubby shops at CashCash while I do at Zalora! So convenient!
ReplyDeleteI love online shopping. But I select the online shops I transact with. Among those you have on this list, I've only tried Zalora and I'm very satisfied with them. :)
ReplyDeleteOnline shopping is part of my shopping activities being a WAHM. Very nice list you have here. :) . So comfy to shop online.
ReplyDeleteI love online shopping..sure beats all traffic. :) Great list!
ReplyDeleteI love online shopping too! there was even a time that i got really addicted to it! :)
ReplyDeletehi seatmate ( chinke+'s day at BGC). You are correct sa iyong tips about online buying. i already tried this stuff once but for me sister -in-law. I had twice bad experience mula sa iisang company that you mentioned here. I guess i just be cautious na lang, there are lots of cool and awesome online stores.
ReplyDeletemabuhay!
I just bought a Blackberry 9300 before at KimStore and until now, it's still working! It was a hassle-free transaction.
ReplyDeleteAt first, I was afraid to meet up and hand them money. I did COD because I don't have a credit card.
It can be really convenient for yr us especially for busy people. Just be mindful if the website you're buying from is a reputable seller. Some sellers offer cheaper prices but you can't be sure if they will give you your money's worth or just a fake product.

Deal Grocer and Zalora are my favorite online shopping stores :)
