Buying
appliances online from official stores ensures you get authentic products,
warranty, and reliable after-sales service.
4 things to keep in mind when online shopping for appliances
Shopping
for appliances online can be very exciting, with so many choices and brands
that you can buy with just a swipe of your finger. But before you start adding
to your cart, do your research and familiarize yourself with the features that
are now available, as well as the after-sales benefits you might need.
Shopping
online is not the same as shopping in an appliance store where a salesperson is
on hand to demonstrate how to operate the product or answer your questions. So,
to guide you in shopping for appliances online, Midea, the world’s largest
manufacturer of home appliances offers some tips to make sure you get the best
value for your money.
Buy
only from legit stores. Shopping online is very convenient, but sometimes it can
be challenging to know if the website you’re visiting is legitimate. The best
way to ensure you’re buying from a reliable source is to purchase items from
the flagship stores on e-commerce sites. Check out the Midea Philippinesofficial stores in Shopee and Lazada that are guaranteed to be 100% authentic.
Make sure to look for the blue badge or blue check beside their store name that
you can verify on both apps. You can also check out mideaph.com for the complete
lineup of appliances and seasonal deals and promos.
Check
the product’s electrical frequency. This is an important consideration not many
know about. When ordering appliances online, especially if it’s imported,
occasionally, you will find appliances that run at 100-127 volts at 50 Hz that
tends to run slower compared to local appliances which operate at 220-240 volts
at 60 Hz. You might think that this is okay just because the appliance operates
when you turned it on, but what you don’t know is that running an appliance
using a voltage or frequency that's not designed for it can be dangerous. There
is the risk of burning, fire, or even explosion. So always check the product
specifications before you purchase or chat with a customer service officer if you
are not sure.
After-sales
service and warranty.
Authorized physical and online stores generally offer standard product warranty
on parts, often with conditions. Always check what is covered under the
warranty if your appliance is damaged, as well as the warranty period. It’s
also useful to check the location of service centers so you know how far you
need to travel in case the appliance malfunctions. Again, reach out to a
customer service officer and don’t hesitate to ask these important questions to
make sure you get the best after-sales service – email their customer support
at customercare@midea.com.ph or call their
Toll-Free Number 1-880-10-863-5522, Landline (02) 8863 55 22, or contact them
through Viber/SMS (0917) 863 5522.
Collect
discounts or free shipping vouchers. Who doesn’t love promos and discounts, right?
Especially if you’re on a tight budget, discounts and vouchers will save your
day! In case you’re not aware, flagship stores give out discounts or free
shipping vouchers from time to time. Using these discount vouchers, you can buy
more while spending less, and on top of that, you may get your items without
having to pay the shipping fee!
Online
shopping is just a breeze if you know just what stores you can rely on to get
the best deals possible for you and your family. Spot flagship stores on Shopee
and Lazada by looking for the “Shopee Mall” and “LazMall” badges or by
filtering your search category to “mall” products only. You can get more
