Is this gonna be another Shopee budol post? Did we spend according to our needs or just a hobby of checking out when a sale come up?

Yes, this is gonna be another Shopee or online purchase post. I know that some of you may have read my Shopee online budols or baby essentials that I purchased from months ago. I remember reading posts from a breastfeeding group that says 'sabi nila tipid kapag nagpabreastfeed ka (with a picture of them breastfeeding and checking out from online shops)'.

I am guilty that I do that as well but I always tell my husband that tipid pa din magpadede kahit may konting pacheckout ako sa Shopee. And most of the items that I buy were baby supplies.

We just moved here in Leyte so that we can be together while waiting for everything to be okay and financially stable. We needed to save of course but my husband's apartment was a man's pod. His things were everywhere and I was like, 'lalaki nga naman'. Well I admit that I've been like that to my things when I was a teenage/adult person, but having a baby is different. We need the place to be safe for her to run around.

Anyway back to the topic. We needed to purchase things to organize our place. It was pretty easy before because I usually order cheap stuff on Shopee. Shipping wasn't a problem because I can get free shipping during sales or shipping would cost around 50 pesos something. Online shopping in Leyte would cost more for shipping. It wouls cost 80 pesos as minimum or more depending on the size and weight of the item.

Shipping vouchers

I've been checking vouchers in Shopee so that we can have the stuff delivered to Leyte. What I noticed was, most of the shipping vouchers has a maximum of 25 pesos discount.

But there are other vouchers depending on the T&C and you can get maximum of 50 pesos off for the shipping.

I have to be careful when choosing shipping vouchers so I can get the maximum discount. I checked every voucher before checking out.

Online purchases

Here are some items that we bought for this month during 8.8 sale and 8.15 sale.

I want to check other wet wipes brand so we can save more and I believe this is a local brand. It actually smells like the Kleenfant wet wipes but just smaller in size.

My husband and I have been looking for this in SM Seaside and other computer accessories store here in Leyte too. We've found one store that has it but it cost around 1600 pesos for a single antenna, so the dual antenna would cost more.

The shoe box was the main reason I ordered and at the same time I took advantage of the shipping fee and add other items. As long as te shipping fee doesn't go higher than what is stated.

I actually find this shop weird because when I added 1 or 2 small items the shipping fee goes up to 200+ from 93 pesos shipping fee. That's why I only purchased 1 item from this store.

Tiktok shop

I took the chance and tried ordering from Tiktok Shop.

I mentioned in my previous shopee orders article that I bought an electric fan for my husband. Well SassaGorl and I are both a sweaty person so one electric fan is not enough. Instead of buying an AC I told my husband that we can buy another electric fan instead.

I bought the same brand that I purchased in Shopee but this time I purchased it via Tiktok Shop. Why? First time users can get a 150 pesos off on shipping fee.

Tiktok Shop is still cheaper than Shopee when it comes to the shipping fee. See the difference on the shipping fee? Whew!

Delivery dilemma

We already received some of the orders. I only have 2 problems when it comes to the delivery.

  1. I don't speak Waray but most people here can speak tagalog.

  2. I am not yet familiar with the location so I will fail to give instructions to the delivery rider.

  3. They seem not to be familiar with the location, which is a big question mark for me.

  4. Delivery takes longer than metro manila orders, which is pretty normal. I was just used to getting an order within the week from ordering hehehehe.

Good thing that my husband was at home when 2 packages got delivered. He doesn't speak waray but he can understand some words.

Now I understand why my husband ask me to buy things and have it delivered to Marikina. Most stores here doesn't have the items that he's looking for.

I think this is the time that we or should I say, I, will definitely limit my online orders from now on. HAHAHAHA!

Online purchases are the best of the best, I am in favor of them because they allow you to buy comfortably, you can see the offers better and packages arrive as if it were Christmas. But you also have to know when to buy and how to buy!
