A Revolutionary Online Marketplace called SHOPEE
Shopee is the 1st online marketplace that offers nationwide Free
Shipping and COD in the Philippines
Shopee, the Philippines’
most user-friendly mobile C2C social marketplace, is set to make buying and
selling online even easier by extending its Free Shipping and Cash on Delivery
(COD) program until the end of July.
Shopee is
the first online marketplace in the Philippines that offers Free Shipping and
COD at such a wide scale with the most number of sellers and pick-up locations. The number of sellers and product listings on Shopee have grown by
over 40% and 60% respectively since its launch on April. Currently more than 5,000 sellers are using the
Free Shipping and COD program, and this number is set to grow even further by
the end of the year.
Macy
Castillo, Head of Commercial Business for Shopee Philippines, explains the
rationale behind this Free Shipping and COD program, “It is designed to empower
sellers — seasoned and new alike — to
grow their businesses and meet their maximum entrepreneurial potential. We have
observed that logistics challenges, like limited delivery and payment options,
are strong barriers faced by people who want to shop or start an online
business. This program helps sellers by eliminating such challenges and in
turn, reach out to more potential buyers.”
Vernica
Enciso, owner of @vernverniece store on Shopee and one-half of the sister
tandem behind the blog V❤V, has been using Shopee with her
sister Verniece to sell online. “Shopee’s Free Shipping and COD program has
been really helpful in getting buyers because it no longer matters whether
they’re in Metro Manila or in provincial areas — it’s all free. Verniece and I
started with around 50 items on our shop, and within the next few hours, more
than half of them were already sold out! The great thing about it was that we
didn’t have to do anything complicated, simply upload the items and it was
done! Shopee makes managing inventory, sales, and even shipment very easy
because it’s all automated,” Enciso said.
Castillo
added, “Filipinos always enjoy a great bargain. We want our buyers to be able
to fully enjoy the experience of shopping through the wide range of products
available on our platform without having to worry about any additional cost. At
the same time, selling on Shopee is absolutely free for sellers. Anyone can
install Shopee, sign up for our Free Shipping program, add a product in less
than 30 seconds, and enjoy free shipping via our courier partners immediately.”
Shopee
offers a practical, fun and safe platform for everyone to buy and sell online.
“We want to build a strong ecosystem, to be innovative and constantly evolve to
give the best experience to our users, and continue to establish ourselves as
the number one mobile C2C marketplace in the Philippines,” Castillo
concludes.
Shopee
Philippines is available for free in Apple App Store and Google Play Store and
currently has 15 million installs across the region. For more information on
