The proliferation of online shopping websites has given
consumers the freedom to choose from so many options in just a click of a button.
Shopping has never been this easy.
However, there are
pros and cons to shopping on-line and risks should also be taken into
consideration, most especially it involves our hard-earned money.
KAMI recently shared Kapamilya actress Maricar Reyes' experience
from online shopping. She recently posted a photo of an item she bought online
that shows a different item displayed from the actual item she received.
Maricar's advise to all, “PLEASE
BE CAREFUL WITH ONLINE SELLER ZALA DEALS / REMEK-DEALS I'm doing this because I
don't want this to happen to others. The company seems to change names often.
Ano na kaya name nila ngayon? AUG 2019 (4th week) - Bought "stainless steel
kitchen drain" dish rack (SEE 2nd PHOTO). From FB sponsored post of ZALA
DEALS THEIR SITE ishkvshop.myshopify.com SEEMED LEGIT. “
“Madaming comments and
reviews. SEPT 5 2019 - Delivery. The person who received it for me did not
check the item thoroughly before paying. BASTA NAKITA NA PARANG DISH RACK, OK
NA. Item delivered was a small chrome dish rack, not at all like the one
advertised. Multiple emails and DMs to Zala Deals were sent. “
Maricar sent an email to the retailer herself to make an
impact and to notify them that the item she received from them was all wrong. She
recounts,
“After 7 days, no
response (SEE 3rd PHOTO) I commented on their FB posts using my personal FB to
get their attention. LATER, I saw that the sponsored ads for Zala Deals became
REMEK-DEALS. But same logo. I think Zala Deals/Remek-Deals has blocked me
because I don't see their ads on my feed anymore and I can't find their page.”
“As of Sept 27, 2019,
they still have not contacted me about my complaints. If they did, there would
be no need for this post.” Maricar said.
Maricar just wants to share the lesson she learned from online shopping. So others will not fall victim anymore by this fly by night
bogus online retailers.
WHAT I LEARNED: 1. BUY
FROM LEGIT ONLINE SELLERS (We've had good experiences SO FAR from Shopee &
Sellers with actual physical stores like Mosaic and Henry's Camera) 2. It's so
easy to make FAKE comments, websites, & reviews to look like a legit
seller. “3. If paying by COD, BE "OC" / MABUSISI. OPEN THE BOX &
CHECK THE ITEM.
If someone will receive it for you, leave DETAILED PHOTOS of the item with the person. (Make sure di tamad mag check yung magrereceive ng item mo the more OC/Mabusisi, the better) If u can't check thoroughly, DO NOT GIVE PAYMENT kahit magalit pa yung courier.
