My Online Shopping Experience At Lazada Malaysia

I bought a Nikon Coolpix L27 digital camera online at Lazada Malaysia last month and what a great bargain I had. I actually saved at least RM70 compared to the next best price that I could find, either online or in local stores. The price paid includes an 8GB Panasonic SDHC memory card, a case and 2 AA sized alkaline batteries. Things went quite smoothly on the whole. I placed my order on September 15th 2013 and I paid online via debit card. I received my camera 3 days later via the local courier company GD Express. All items were packed neatly in a 18cm x 17cm x 11cm cardboard box. I think I could have received my package a day earlier if not for the public holiday on 16th September 2013.

This is my third online purchase after Dell Computers and RS Components Sdn Bhd, but my first from Lazada. Like everyone else, I was a little apprehensive at first with online shopping. There is always some doubts and fear lingering in my mind when it comes to online purchasing. But since money is a little tight these days, with the cut in fuel subsidies and the rise in price of essential items, I decided to give online purchase a go at Lazada, looking for bargains - and I DID. I do not have any problems buying online from Dell Computers as they are a reputable international company, well know for their online transactions. And with RS Component, my order was less that RM40 and there was not much to sweat about - I did receive my order by the way.

I have been using this camera for about 2 weeks now and everything looks good. The picture quality from this camera is definitely much better than the 2 mega-pixel Samsung (Buzz 4G Cloud) mobile phone camera that I was using previously. I have taken some shots outdoor and I can still view the LCD display with minimal glare - a problem that I have with the Samsung mobile phone camera.

All in all, a great experience for me shopping online at Lazada Malaysia - I took a gamble and I won big. I will be keeping an eye out in the future for more bargains, especially for items on SALE that they have regularly.

Note:

1. I almost chose the HP CW450 12.2MP Digital Camera solely because it was selling for RM99 at Lazada - a whopping 75% discount! Truly the cheapest digital camera that I know of - it should make an ideal gift for children who are keen in photography. User reviews from Lazada were actually quite good. But I decided against it because of the absence of a memory card (I did not want to go hunting for one), and on Nikon's reputation for digital cameras. A tough choice to make for me indeed.
   
2. All pictures in this blog post were taken with my new Nikon Coolpix L27 digital camera. Except for some resizing and cropping so that the pictures fit nicely in my blog post, no other software editing was done on these pictures. Impressive pictures, don't you think?
