Cebu’s Top Online Shopping Sites

CebuGadget.com is the online shop for gadget lovers. They offer Apple, Blackberry, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson products. Unfortunately, they do have a limited number of items and they prices are basically same as store prices, even slightly higher. They do offer 1 year warranty for their items, except for their Apple products. They deliver via FedEx and LBC and the items are usually delivered in 2-3 business days to your home or office.

Okay okay, so it’s not an online shop that is based in Cebu. But it has physical shops in Cebu! Aaaand, a lot of my Cebuano friends shop here. So.
Anyway, Kamiseta has awesome clothes. Other than that, they have order tracking (a huge advantage, ask any online shopper!). See here: “After you purchase, we will be sending you an e-mail with a copy of your receipt & the tracking number of the package. Just click the on the links (logos) of the couriers you chose to determine status of your delivery. Type in the tracking number of the package and their system will already indicate if the package is already in transit.” They deliver via DHL, FedEx, LBC, UPS and Air21. The good thing is they have free delivery for every P1,000 purchase. This means that your items would most likely be delivered free cause their clothes cost P800 and above. Their clothes are very limited though. Tsk tsk. Going to the physical store would give you more choices.

Cebu Shopper started their online business in 2005. Their websites offers a wide variety of goods, including: groceries (loooots of grocery items), balloons, cakes, chocolates, flowers, food & snacks, gift ideas, ice cream, pinoy dishes and LECHON! As you may have guessed by now, they are not exactly your typical online grocer who can deliver the goods you want and save you the trip to the supermarket. No, sir. They seem to be more of a go-to store for those who want to send their loved ones gifts (lechon can be a gift. Why not?). The prices are definitely steeper than supermarket prices. Other than within Cebu City, they also deliver in these areas.
- Argao
- Carcar
- Danao city
- Naga
- San Fernando
- Toledo city
Check out their website for the additional delivery fees. They have a minimum order of $75 by the way. Also, you need to order your items at least 48 hours ahead of the occasion.
