Outdoorsman for Him.

I have mentioned before in my other blog how I am 95% done with the Christmas shopping. I have a few stuff to buy but are just easy (for the Nanny and House help) - the one item that I am having difficulty with is an item for my Father-in-Law. I've been on a look out for those old school Outdoors man Ray Bans for him. I've searched the malls and all the optical shops that I know in Cebu to no avail. I've even traced down some of the suppliers but still no stock!!!

I don't know if its not too late to order online instead?

The good thing about shopping online is that I can avoid the swarm of people rushing to finish their shopping in the malls and bazaars! The hassle of even going to the mall, finding a parking space, lining up to the checkout counter and waiting for the ever so slow teller to finish the transaction is a bit stressful on my part. Especially this year when I did all the shopping myself. I had to lug around 5 plastic bags of stuff to the car - I swear all the blood rushed to my fingers.

Anyway, online I saw that there are lots of trendy designer sunglasses to chose from - designer labels like D&G, Anarchy, Ray Ban, Angel and Body Glove, Arnette sunglasses are all available, free shipping at a discounted price! I guess, most Filipino's, including me, don't have the guts to try online shopping because of the fear that once the product arrives and I am not satisfied - I can't return it anymore unlike when you get it in the mall.

I've recently learned that's where I am wrong - most online shops value customer satisfaction very much that they employ a return policy. If by any chance you, the customer is not satisfied with the purchase for any reason, you can return or exchange the product within 30 days of receipt. However, that item or product is ONLY eligible for return if it is still unused, in resalable condition and inside its original packaging.

So there's nothing to fear about shopping online really, as long as the merchant has good feedback with its client, then why not try it myself??

Although there are many knock-offs and cheap sunglasses available in shops, it is wise to invest in good mens sunglasses that is sturdy and can last a whole lifetime. That's why I am debating whether to get this one for him or not.

I will just wait for Hubby's decision on this one.
