Lazada.sg Review

Lazada is an online shopping mall that offers a large selection of world-class brands, including Easytaxi, FoodPanda, PricePanda, Wimdu, Lamido, and Zalora. It is a Southeast Asian online department store with operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

What Lazada brought on the E-commerce game is their unique alternative payment methods. They are an online shopping mall that not only offers the conventional or traditional payment method, which is typically payment via credit card or via Paypal account. But with Lazada, they offer payment methods such as “Dragon Pay”, Credit Card”, and their most famous “Cash on Delivery” payment method. “Cash on Delivery” is actually a payment method that revolutionized how online shopping is done in our country.

What “Cash on Delivery” does to customers is that allows them to order any items from the Lazada website and have it their ordered items shipped to their homes. Customers only get to pay Lazada once their order package is handed over to them at their very homes. This actually paved way in tapping the “untapped market” in our country, which are “non-credit card holders” which is more dominant in our country. By having no limitations in availing the service of Lazada, it allows anyone to become instant customers regardless if they are credit card owners or not. What makes their “Cash on Delivery” even more enticing is that they also offer Free Delivery availability to their customers.

Comparing the benefits you get from online shopping with Lazada to offline traditional Malls. Lazada saves you cash on travel expense when you go to malls. It saves you time on travel when going to the malls. You can access them anytime or from wherever you are. All you need is an Internet capable device with Internet connection and you’re good to go. Plus, Lazada Philippines is open 24/7. Regardless, if you are on night shift or day shift, you can go their online mall website anytime you want even if you are in your office during break time.

Pros
* Customer service representatives is courteous.
* Delivery was within the given time frame (3-5 days).
* Very good payment security. The credit card verification may have been tedious but it was all for the security of the transaction.

Cons
* No work on holidays.

Groupon.sg Review

Groupon offers an interesting way to save money on food, attractions and random activities and services in the LA area by providing volume discounts for a minimum number of purchases.

Groupon.be is a website that promotes volume discounts on certain products, attractions or events every day for each geographic region. The discounts are steep, but they are based on a minimum number of people accepting the offer. If the minimum is not reached by the deadline, no one gets the deal.

This means that if you purchase the deal offered by Groupon, but not enough other people participate, your credit card will not be charged and there is no deal. The minimum number to make up the group varies depending on the offer. Some businesses have found the offer so successful for their business that they keep them going indefinitely. Other businesses have complained that Groupon offers have nearly put them out of business.

Deals offered by Groupon.com range from small things, like half price on ice cream or discount rides at Pacific Park on the Santa Monica Pier, to $150 off an ocean view hotel room or $700 off laser hair removal.

Pros

  • New offer every day
  • Discounts on a variety of things
  • Significant discounts

Cons

  • If there are not enough people participating, you don’t get the deal.
  • There are a lot of complaints about customer service.
