Shopee: Shopping Made Easy

The Probinsyana  is a CERTIFIED Online Shopaholic  

              I'm one of this generation's so called shop-'til-you-drop online shopping addicts and I already have numerous transactions with online shops.  And as a self-confessed online shopaholic, I think it's my duty to share some useful reviews about my experiences in online shopping. 

What is SHOPEE?



             Recently, I've come across a new shopping platform-it's called Shopee. It's an application that you can download. (If your an android user you can download it here  and if your an apple user, you can download it here.) 

Why buy in SHOPEE?


            Unlike Zalora, it's not limited to fashion items like clothes, bags, shoes and accessories. Shopee is a one-stop shop that offers a variety of products from premium Home and Living products to hard to find Korean beauty products.
What I like about Shopee is it's Cash on Delivery system that you can avail with just a minimum of 250 pesos of purchase. You can pay as soon as the item is delivered to you!

Useful features in SHOPEE:


1. Better/organized search results


Whenever I search for an item on Shopee's search button, I narrow down my options by clicking on Top Sales. This way, I will know which items are fast-selling (meaning they're good quality) and which shops are trusted by most customers.








2.  Chat features

You can chat sellers and inquire about a certain item and you can also see if they're online or not (Yes, just like facebook's messenger.


3. 'Make an offer' feature aka 'tawad button'

Oh yes . You can feel the Filipino thrifty spirit in Shopee because there's a feature wherein you can ask a mark down of prices for the items you want to buy. The seller will decide whether she will accept or decline the offer. How cool is that? I've tried it several times especially when I'm going to buy in bulk. It will save you some bucks plus you'll get to buy extra items .


4. Free-shipping and C.O.D (cash on delivery)

Shopee and LBC has partnered so sellers can offer free shipping to customers. If your order has reached 250 pesos then you'll avail of free shipping. What's even more convenient is you can also pay on a cash on delivery basis. They deliver anywhere in the Philippines. I bought numerous items from Shopee and they all arrived in good condition.

5. Shoppers can rate the sellers

Shoppers can finally rate the seller. Of course most online selling platforms has review sections for buyers. But unlike other websites, customers create their own account and are subject for verification. You can only rate a product once you bought it.

6. There's so much products to choose from-from food/goods to cosmetics/make-up to household items

It's vast variety of items makes an online shopaholic like me get addicted and hooked to online shopping. You can browse and 'heart' a certain item you like. It serves as a bookmark and you can also automatically place it in your virtual cart.
