TCAT Philippines Haul

This post is 6months late, but doesn't matter - better to be late than never! :P

Anyways, these are what we got from our first online shopping with Tcat Philippines! And sadly, I think this would be our last. :I

An HL & Rich 4.0 Android Tablet, 3 Y-Pad English computer 2 in blue and 1 in pink and a white hanging jewelry organizer!

Y-Pad English Computers are just in time for my nephew - LJ, niece - A and my baby JC.

Babe loves it but I personally hate it. It's disappointing! The site has very deceiving "photos". It is as if, the item is sophisticatedly made from quality materials, not made of cheap looking plastic. The was below "ok" and it is operated by 4 AA batteries - mind you, it consumes the juice faster than it looks to be. The display is a cheap blurry print, The price is so very wrong!!! Tcat Philippines claimed it to be around Php900 and slashing off more than 50%, selling it for only Php399.00 Thought it was a steal at first so I grabbed 3. And as it is, it is not. I just so happen that kids aren't choosy, and he even wants to keep the box because he thinks it part of his playtoy...

The worse part is, after having these y-pads, I saw Deal Grocer selling this for only Php150.00!!! Whut!

Sadly, this is also overpriced! I saw a "sturdier" version of this at the local market for only P100.00! Think about Tcat Philippines selling this on a discounted price of Php139.00! lol Cheap find! Yeah, right! >:(

my jewelry organizer is still fine being my makeup stash  ‪#‎share‬ from Camera360#

The Jewelry Organizer (Php139.00) is fine except that I had to put something on its sleeve to avoid hunchback! Can you spot that? That's a recycled piece of babe's playtoy! :S

Got the YPad for 399php each, Android Tablet for 3777php (will do a separate blogpost about this soon) and organizer for 139php for a total of 8113.00 + the shipping fee! According to their site I saved 6236.00! Cool huh?

But why after getting the items did i feel betrayed and fooled?

First off, Tcat Philippines prices are way way way over to the top!

Ypad at department stores were like a 150 a piece! Really felt horrible!

The organizer is only 80-100php only! I felt i was robbed! and still is!

Learned my lessons the hard way:

- before buying "sale" items online make sure it is not available on your local store and/or not cheaper (well I know it somewhat "defeat" the purpose of shopping online and/so...)

-if you can't afford to stroll downtown to check things out, then browse other online shops and compare prices including shipping fees! Other shops online delivers free if you're in the metro or becomes free when you reach a certain amount.

-use coupons, discount codes and always watch out for sales. Online shops have more frequent sales than physical stores.

I'll try shopping on cash cash pinoy, deal grocer, zalora and lazada. :) I will never ever be going back to Tcat ever!

TCAT Philippines Haul

This is my first ever Tcat Philippines online transaction! :D It goes on smoothly, the staff are great and very friendly too. I called for the reservation of the items but their first number was residential :3 and I hope they already did something about that. So, I recommend calling the last two hotlines posted on their Facebook page instead. Moving on here are the things that I got!

Rich & HL Android Tablet, a Hanging Jewelry Organizer and 3 Y-Pad for niece, nephew and son. Watch out for my in-depth reviews on these, specially the Y-Pad. If you are planning to buy this, hold your horses! Ha! Now I'm giving you an obvious clue! The Jewelry Organizer is fine except that I had to put something on its sleeve to avoid hunchback! :S

That's it for now. Are you planning to buy cheap tablets too? Then, keep your eyes peeled! :P

My ZALORA Wishlist!

There are times when shopping online gives me more convenience like when I can't get a goodnight sleep and I wanna do my shopping or see a catalog, all I have to do is get online! :D

Just like at Zalora.com.ph! It's an online fashion retailer here in the Philippines that offers major fashion brands from international and local suppliers, distributors, retailers and companies which caters different products for all, women, men and kids! :D Things are getting more exciting! 'Cause when you register online you'll gonna get a Php250.00 discount as a welcome gift plus, if you subscribe to their newsletter, you'll get another Php250.00 rebate, that's a total of Php500.00 off!  Online shopping gives better prices too since SALE is always IN, plus, the variety of choices are amazing wide! A-mazing! I know! :D

Why tired yourself with traffic and crowded malls especially during holidays (when the crowd can give you headache, forces you to do a hurried shopping which in the end will give you more problems, like finding a parking space, skin-to-skin contact with skin-infected-bad-smelling shoppers(let's face it, it happens!), walk loaded with shopping bags (snatch-risky) and sometimes WRONG items bought or less quality because of lack of choices! SMH tsk tsk) when Zalora offers free door to door shipping nationwide! When you wont make it to a special occasions, now there's no more excuses for not sending gifts! And if your like me, who loves to surprise my loved ones with unexpected gifts, you'll gonna abuse the free shipping! hehe Since no matter where they are, they'll gonna get it!

If your still in doubt, or if its your first time to shop online, you'll gonna feel at ease because Zalora is a secured website and offers 30 days return, same day delivery in Metro Manila area and COD (cash on delivery) services! No worries since you could track down your items and ask queries just by calling their hotline (02) 513-03-73 or send an e-mail at customer@zalora.com.ph.

If ever I'll get the chance to splurge on shopping, it would be online at Zalora! Why, conventional shopping makes me spend a lot more than whats on my budget, like eating out, car gas and impulsive shopping (talented salesladies and SALES always get me)! My eyes are on XOXO, 5CM, Gibi and The Little Things She Needs! :D

After browing the site, here is my Zalora shopping wishlist:

That's it! It took me several browsing hours to choose, check the site to know why! :D If you're wondering about my choices, like I said  I wanna share things with my love-ones, even in dreams and wishes. <3 <3 <3
