Ecommerce
is on the rise in Myanmar. As the number of mobile users are increasing, so are
the number of internet subscribers. This is because of the availability of 3G
and LTE on smartphones, which is giving access to blazing fast internet to
masses. This means that masses have access to internet, which companies can use
to their advantage by promoting online shopping as well as getting direct
feedback. This explains the rise of online marketplaces and the increased use of social media channels for
customer engagement purposes.
Among the
most frequently bought items online, mobile phones are leading the pack. This
is the reason why many websites list mobile phones for sale. The trend of
purchasing mobile online is increasing but there are many things you should
take into consideration before purchasing. Here below are the 6 things to know before you shop
mobile online in Myanmar:
Use Familiar and Authentic Websites
Whenever
purchasing a mobile, it is important that you buy from a trustworthy
marketplace which offers satisfactory customer support and prompt delivery of
the product. Websites like myanmarblogshop, omyanmar, Kaymu
and yangonbay have been around for a few years and
have established a good reputation for online shopping for mobiles.
Take the seller’s reputation into
account
Online
marketplaces have a number of different sellers who sell the products at
different prices. As a general rule, always opt for a seller who has strong
repute and is well reviewed by hundreds of customers. This will ensure that
your online shopping experience is enjoyable and safe.
Learn about the payment methods
A lot of
websites offer services like Cash On Delivery for the ease of customers. There are
many others who don’t. Before buying online, always look at the payment methods
and see if they are convenient or not. Credit card payments are a good option
if the seller is trusted.
Don’t disclose all information
No shopping
website will ask for your personal details like mother’s name, identification
number etc. Always be wary of such websites. Authentic websites only require
your name, mobile number, and shipping address. Therefore, don’t disclose
personal information which is not relevant in online shopping.
Keep an eye out for the delivery time
As the
ecommerce industry is growing, the overall shopping experience is also getting
better. In the earlier stages of the industry, the delivery time used to be
really long. And by the time the product arrived at your doorstep, the price in
the market for the phone had reduced. But nowadays, this is not the case.
Delivery is swift and fast and takes up to 48 or 72 hours. While majority of
websites offer quick delivery, there are many those who take weeks for the
product to arrive. In this regards, always keep an eye out for the delivery
time, which should be short.
Warranties and Guarantees
Mobiles come
with company warranties. Therefore, take into consideration whether the website
is offering you these services before purchasing.
These were
some of the online shopping tips for mobile phones.
