iprice.ph: Top 5 Features of this New One Stop E-Commerce Consolidation Site

Perhaps, it's the intense heat and dry sticky atmosphere, the terrible unsolved traffic and price hike of our commute hubs that made me so lazy to go out to shop.  Good thing, there's online shopping for people like me.  As multiple e-commerce shops are sprouting about, the next thing I was asking for is one site to stop by where all the best deals are and that's when I discovered iprice.ph.

iprice.ph headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, now serves online shoppers across seven countries: Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam.

Here are the features I like in iprice.ph:

1. Searching by Brands

When shopping across the-commerce jungle where I can't physically try out or test the item, I have this wise tactic of sticking with my favorite brands to assure my satisfaction.  Good thing I can search by brands through iprice.ph.

2. Searching by Item Category

Next to brand searching, you can also select the specific item you need.  Rushing to buy a dress for a party?  Then, click on.  So easy right?

3. Search by Various Filters

Aside from lists, there are various filters by:

• Gender
• Item Categorizes
• Price Range
• Brands
• Store

 4. Save More with Coupon Codes and Offers

You can save more using different coupon codes and see good offers from iprice.ph partner stores.

Markdown Madness up to 70% off sale @ The Enterprise (May 2-6 2011)

Kurt has been intending to buy a sandals after his outdoor slipper was chewed by our maltese "Lychee".  We decided to go to the sale up to 70% off at the 12th floor of Enterprise Building for brands:

• Skechers 
• Ecko
• Zoo York
• Pony 
• Merrell

      

When we came in at around 6 p.m., the place was crowded.  It was swarming with employees who just came from work.  We heard sale persons carrying a shoe an shouting "Bili na kayo 800 php nalang" and the like.  There were jackets, T-shirts, caps, blouse, rubber shoes, skate shoes, sandals (Merrel and Skechers), bags (Skechers and Ecko), slippers (Skechers and Merell) and watches (Skechers Time).  The watch section sold watches at 30% off.  Most of the items on sale were foot wear.  The prices range from below 800 to 2,000 php.   Unlike other footwear sales we've been through, most foot wear still have various sizes available.   But you have to hunt for their boxes in the large racks or ask the sales personel in blue shirts to find your size.  There were foot wear for both kids and adults.  

    
Unfortunately for us, only the Merell brand carried sandals and there were only two styles available.  Kurt did not like the feel of both of them.  So we went home empty handed.
