About Town | Online Sellers Rejoice
Online sellers are on the race to sell their products to an eager market who have found shopping in the internet more convenient. But more than just selling their goods, online merchants are also enticing customers by giving them the most worry-free experience, from buying to paying and getting their orders the way they want it.
LBC understands this need- which is why they came up with the Cash on Pick Up (COP) and Cash on Delivery (COD). Under COP, LBC provides a safer and more convenient alternative to “meet-ups” as a method of getting goods from seller to customer. After ordering online, a customer only has to select the specific LBC branch from where to pick up their items.
Under COD, buyers are offered the option of paying for their purchases- only after LBC delivers the items to them.
After only a few months of operations, many online business owners are already raving over COP/COD. Aileen Guina who sells HERBAL MEDICINAL TEA AND MINERAL DROPS, started using COP/COD last July 2018. Since she began using COP/COD, she has stopped using other courier services. “Malawak po ang sakop ng LBC at convenient siya para sa akin at sa customers ko. Mas dumalas po ang pasok ng customers. Mas ok compared sa dati kasi hindi sila gaano worried na baka scam or niloloko lang sila and hindi sila nahihirapan since pinupuntahan sila sa bahay nila”.
Another online seller, Alvin Flores, whose products consist of beauty products like make up, has shifted to LBC since it started its CPO/COD services last year. He said: “Mas gusto kasi ng mga client ang cash on pick up para maiwasan ang mga scam. Mas mabilis din kasi pag LBC COP/COD. Mula nang mag-COP/COD ako, mas maraming pumapasok na clients since convenient nga para sa customers. Tapos okay na okay din ang service ng LBC”.
Mr. Ronaldo Provido De Guzman, owner of Gabriel Fishing Net Glamore, who vends fishnet and motorcycle parts and accessories, said he started using LBC’s COP and COD for the convenience of his buyers. And for him the best features of the service are: “Mabilis, mura at mababa yung risk na hindi ako mabayaran sa mga shipment ko”. Lumakas pa ang business ko!”
For Eleazar Latonio, whose business revolves around selling food supplements across the country via his online shop, used a different courier before. But due to the slow remittance of payment, they decided to shift to LBC’s COP/COD. He says: “Mas madali yung ngayon sa LBC kumpara sa dati kasi hindi lang ung clients ung nadadalian dahil nga COP/COD pero mas mabilis din ung bigay ng payment nila sa amin compared sa ibang courier services who takes weeks. Sa LBC few days lang po, meron na. At alam naman natin na LBC ang pinaka malaking courier service sa Philippines. Mas mabilis pa, especially sa province, kaya mas maganda”.
With the expected rise of e-commerce, LBC assures online sellers that it will always make ways to provide them with services that aim to ease their operations while driving growth for their businesses.
There is no doubt: online shopping has become more popular than ever before. Shopping from one’s phone, tablet or PC has become the biggest trend, specially for those who simply want convenience at their fingertips.
