It's been two years since the online shopping service Shopee began its operations in the Philippines, and it has quickly gained a following among tech-savvy Filipino consumers and is eventually highly-regarded as the number one shopping app in the country today.
To be honest, its stats are no joke. The popular e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan has achieved about 40 million downloads within the first half of 2017. In the Philippines, it has garnered 3 million downloads making Shopee one of the top apps on both Google Play and iOS App Store. Looking at these statistics, I am curious about how and why Filipino consumers need to trust Shopee for their online shopping needs.
The online shopping market in the Philippines has always been a competitive space with more Filipino consumers preferring the likes of Lazada and Zalora for their shopping convenience straight from the comforts of their own home and even on-the-go, and yet Shopee has managed to make a dent in the market. Those that I have mentioned in this article offer multiple payment options, more particularly Cash on Delivery which has been commonly known among Filipino online shoppers, and free shipping but I there is one feature that in my mind is the very reason why Filipinos should consider buying their favorite stuff at Shopee.
And that would be what is called Shopee Guarantee, an online shopping security feature where direct payments to the seller are on hold until the ordered and bought items are received by the buyer. This well-known feature is becoming a win-win solution for buyers and sellers who choose Shopee. It is assured that every transaction on Shopee is safe and would make consumers think about writing positive thoughts about the app.
With that in mind, I suggest you try it out for yourself and see how you like Shopee compared to other online shopping sites. Who knows? It could be worth what you want for your own digital life.
