My purchases in Lazada

Lazada is also one of the known e-Commerce site in the Philippines. It has many brand partners and Shopee is one of its close competition. Last month, I featured the last purchases I did in Shopee through this article - My 5 last purchases in Shopee.

This time, I want to share with you my purchases in Lazada and what techniques have I done for the payment of my pricey purchases. I will also include a little review of the products I purchased. Actually, I only had three purchases in Lazada because most of the time I buy through Shopee.

• Norton Digital Inverter Gasoline Generator

Our family needs a generator because aside from the constant brownout here in our province, my father-in-law has works in Cabuaya and our area there do not have electricity yet. He needs generator for planer in doing wood works. So, we look for a 3000W generator to match the requirement for planers and other heavy duty machines that he will be using. There are no available generators in our place, and if there is, very expensive. What I did was look online and this was what I found - the Norton Digital Inverter Gasoline Generator. It cost more than 16,000 and I don't have that amount that time but good thing, Lazada has a payment option of installment for how many months.

All you need to have is a BDO credit card. I borrowed credit card from my cousin and I chose installment payment for 12 months. There is an interest rate of 1% per month. The total payable for 12 months plus the shipping fee for this reached around 20,000.00. The shipping fee was also quite big because of the weight of the product.

Until now, I am still paying for the purchase. If you are asking about warranty, this product has a company warranty for 6 months of which we have availed. When it was a month in our hands, it stopped working and we contacted the technician about it and he figured out that there was a problem in the Inverter of the generator. We send a request for part, then after a week or two it arrived and the generator works well again. They requested that we will send back to them to defective inverter. It was good that there customer service works well for the after sales needs.

This generator was really a help for us in times that there is brownout in our place and my father-in-laws work becomes convenient as well. I hope it will last longer. This is my biggest purchase online. I know it is risky so I really read reviews and contact the seller beforehand for the questions I had in mind.

• Samsung Galaxy A02

I buy this phone for Chelle because she wants to have a phone. She saved her allowance for this phone. I also chose the installment plan for this phone for 6 months. The interest is around 250.00 pesos. The delivery was fast and its coming was so timely because this was the time that she tested positive and we used this for contacting her and that she will not be bored in the quarantine facility. The phone works well, until now. It was sealed and packaged well when delivered to us.

• Shoes and Sandals from Bambu Outlet

I bought this one during their sale. Please don't judge me, they are not all mine, I accepted Pasabuy for this purchase so that we can share shipping fees. But I have to make a review for the item that I bought for my own.

This is the item I bought for myself. As we all know Grenda is durable. But this last for just 4 months in my feet, the straps were cut. Maybe because it was old stock or maybe because I have a destructive feet. ^.^

That's all for my purchases in Lazada. I hope it gives you ideas on payment options and tips on what things to consider before buying.

Closing thoughts

e-Commerce sites such as Lazada and Shopee are really helpful especially now, in this time of pandemic. It can provide us options on our needs. There are now different payment options for our purchases too. But before choosing one, be sure that you understand the terms and conditions. Another thing, let's just be very careful in our purchases because even in those platforms scammers were there. Choose sellers with good reviews and are preferred sellers.
