zalora philippines verify credit card


Since October 2012, my Zalora Philippines orders have been delivered by a Zalora messenger (previously, was through a 3rd-party courier). Nice to know that my area is being serviced this way.

So, the timeline of my latest completed order:
Jan 22, 2013, Tuesday, 2 a.m. - Ordered / paid for / received order confirmation
Jan 24, 2013, Thursday, morning - Package delivered by Zalora messenger
Excellent!

They changed their terms to date:
# Shipping is free only for purchases above Php1000.
# If paid with CC, they may ask for credit card and ID verification (saw this in the confirmation email; called them about it and they said there's a rise in CC fraud cases).

I don't think anyone likes the part about the credit card verification - totally takes the convenience out of online shopping. Also, no one wants to email an image of their CC and ID out - scary. So, it might be better to call first to see if your transaction went through OK; might find out that you don't need to give that sensitive info away unnecessarily.

About them handling complaints
I think they still delete complaints on their Facebook page; I've been visiting and noticing comments disappearing. I hope they quit doing that. There should be a flow, a story, a sequence of events... When customers complain, it's a chance to reply and of course, fix the problem. When customers are satisfied, some are bound to share their stories of how well Zalora handled their situation -- you can't beat a real-deal, unsolicited testimonial! So, please stop taking down complaints from your FB timeline even if the issue has been resolved, Zalora. You can handle it. Be bold. Re: earning great customer service reputation, think Zappos. I'm rooting for you.

I have given out only my credit card details to zalora when they asked through the confirmation email to send a copy of my card and ID. After that, I had unauthorized charges. They are afraid of fraud but they are fraudulent themselves. or, they have employed someone who is amateur enough to use someone's credit card. So beware..there is a thief in ZALORA.

Cold, Windy, Audacity, Congee

Lovely weather now. It's cold - not too cold that I have to bundle up - it's nice. It's windy outside too. Mosquitoes in my room are not afraid. It used to be that when you wave a hand over one that's "dining" on you, it would fly away. Now, when I feel an itch on my leg and put a hand over it ever so calmly, I squash the bug. Gross. Here was my dinner yesterday, chicken congee or arroz caldo . Suitable dish during cold weather 'cause it's filling and the spiciness from the ginger hits the spot.

December in food pics 2023

  Chicken Nuggets (Purefoods Chicken Breast Nuggets) Yum with BBQ sause. Sliced mango yung nasa taas, masarap din, matamis. Homemade Baked Macaroni Ordered from a neighbor for noche buena. It has beef, mushrooms and bechamel sauce. Still yum. Second year in a row na since  2022 noche buena macaroni . Pork tocino and scrambled egg (Pampanga's Best Original Tocino) with suka, syempre. Dry yung eggs huhu. Sinangag sana yung rice pero bagong saing kasi. Dapat sa fried rice yung day-old na maalsa para buhaghag. Speaking of... tagalog ako pero yung term na "maalsa" sa bigas, recently ko lang naintindihan 😁

Mango season and food pics

 It's mango season! Lots of sweet ripe mangoes for sale around us 😋  Mango Slices, Pork Tocino + Vinegar Sawsawan My current favorite bigas  variety is sinandomeng. It is buhaghag but still soft, but not all sinandomeng  are the same. I prefer the one by Golden Grain's. Mango Slices, Beef Tapa + Salt on the Side I asked for salt. Maybe I'm having too much sweet fruit.  Mango slices, Purefoods hotdogs + UFC Banana Catsup I prefer Purefoods Cocktail Hotdogs compared to the regular sized Tender Juicy. Two weeks straight of sweet mangoes is cloying (but good for digestion!). Will hold off buying them for now.
