E-commerce Portals Lazada and Shopee: Leading in the Philippines

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Lazada and Shopee are founded in Singapore. But the products sold at their sites are mostly made in China.

Sadly China-made products are still the cheapest especially when compared to Philippine-made.

Shopee is a Singaporean e-commerce platform headquartered under Sea Group (previously known as Garena), which is a global consumer internet company founded in 2015 by Forrest Li.

Lazada Group is another e-commerce company founded by American Maximilian Bittner in Singapore with the backing of Rocket Internet in 2012, and now owned by the Alibaba Group.

The two companies are merely portals that conveniently gives you access, and also a platform to sell, several products from different vendors. They are online malls or shopping centers.

Aside from the two, there are a few more similar e-commerce sites out there also not free from mischievous sellers, and buyers.

We still have to be extra careful in dealing with the sellers, or buyers, on these sites as there are several complaints and irregularities that have been documented.
