Last July I was checking
Zalora, an online shopping website that is so popular for carrying different brand items in Asia. I saw an ad about discounts offered for men and I was hoping I can find something for my husband for our Bohol trip in November.
I was lucky to found this on sale:
 |
| Board shorts that cost Php 163.00 each from Collective.com |
It was definitely a good buy but I decided to just put these items on my cart and look for other board shorts in Zalora if there's far cheaper than the ones I found. I didn't find anything so I looked in Ebay. Still nothing cheaper like a Php 100 worth of a board short. I give up and decided to call it a day.
I got an email from Zalora the following day with this message:
Wow! This site really knows how to convince it's buyers for grabbing their items. This chance is too good to pass up so I hurriedly checkout my items and use the coupon code they've provided on my email. By the way I used Paypal in making my purchase. My total bill...
 |
| Total bill including shipping fee Php 539.32. Hurray! |
I decided to ship the items that I ordered on my friend's address since it's cheaper if it's a Metro Manila address (Php 100 fee) versus provincial address which is where I am now. I informed my friend to wait for a package from Zalora as I have used her home address. The following day, I received a BBM message from my friend telling me that the package arrived! Wow!
My friend and I decided to meet so I can get the package from her. She's such a sweet friend for carrying the box. I owe her so many thanks!
 |
| My Zalora Package. I love the prints on the box. Simple yet stylish. |
 |
| Surprise! A gift certificate with a code inside my package. |
 |
| Too bad that I wasn't able to use this voucher. I've completely forgotten the date |
 |
| Hubby's board shorts |
 |
| He is ready to hit the waters of Momo Beach in Bohol! |
Now this is what I call a hassle-free shopping right at the comforts of my own home. I will definitely make a purchase again especially Christmas season is just around the corner which reminds me I need to start making my Christmas shopping list.
