According to my observations, practically everyone engages in (or is hooked to) online shopping. Shopping has become a pricey guilty pleasure for some. Every month, prominent shopping applications such as Shopee and Lazada run promotions and offer free shipping vouchers, which everyone, including myself, cannot afford to miss. Without even realizing it, we had developed a habit of checking out goods in our chart as soon as there were available vouchers! Do you agree? As a result, many of us end up buying stuff we don't really need or that are overpriced. Trying to locate what  you're looking for without spending a fortune is difficult when there are so many options to choose from! But, before you buy anything new online, I'd like to share these tried-and-true shopping must do's that will ensure you receive the best value on every transaction.

Be mindful of items which are too good to be true

If any Shopee or Lazada store promises too much for an item for a cheap price tag, then you should suspect that store. If the price is too low, think about whether the seller obtained the items legally, whether you will ever receive the items you paid for, whether the items are the brand shown or a cheap substitute or if the item will work or if you will be able to return damaged goods. 

Take a look at the model's stats in the product description before placing an order

It's easy to get carried away while buying online. Check the model's measurements to ensure that you obtain the right size for your body type. In this way, you can see if it's the correct fit for your needs. Also, most clothing websites include size guides and online fit assistants to assist you in determining your proper fit. Do this to avoid any inconvenience because returning it to seller may be a hassle

Keep the things in your cart that you're not sure about for a time

I think we're all guilty that we are impulsive buyers. However, you should keep in mind that if you are unsure about particular things and would like to take some time to consider them, you can leave them in your shopping basket for a while, thus leaving the transaction unfinished. This will prevent you from purchasing unnecessary items.

Look at the customer feedback and remarks shown below the item's details.

Online shopping can be risky, especially if you're buying electronics or any expensive items. By quickly browsing through community reviews and comments below the product description, you can quickly learn about the product, its authenticity, its quality and the like.

In addition, you may help others in a similar "to purchase or not to buy" dilemma by writing reviews of products you've used and enjoyed or not.

The best time to buy online is during their monthly sale

The best way to catch up on really good deals is to know when their monthly promo is.Shipping costs are one of the most discouraging aspects of online buying. However, Shopee and Lazada got your back. The ultimate key to shopping is patience. Patience to keep an eye on the vouchers. Also, there can be stores that might have an extra discount for a particular item.

Thank youu. I usually buy clothes in Shoppee because the prices are affordable and the shippings as well. Unlike in Lazada, their products are somehow affordable too but shipping fees here in our place are very expensive haha.

Same po hahaha. Shipping fee dito sa province namin is minimum of 60. Mas mahal pa minsan yung sf kaysa sa mismong item kaya hintay hintay nalang ng voucher.

Yes, we should take advantage of sales, especially monthly sales to avail discount and other promos and we also should think of those things or items we want to buy if we really need it.
