News & Reviews:   online shopping

Pandamart recently held a virtual tour of one of their 25 Pandamart dark stores showing off their wide range of groceries, body care products, cosmetics, fresh produce and more. While they’ve been open since July 2020, Pandamart will soon expand in Seremban, Melaka and Ipoh with plans to expand everywhere in Malaysia (including East Malaysia) to be implemented next year in 2021. Deliveries are offered under 20 minutes through FoodPanda riders using the FoodPanda app in their stores section.

When it comes to social media platforms, Instagram is one of the most popular globally and even in Malaysia. That's probably why Facebook is adding a new way for reaching out to its large user base with two new features - Reels and Shop.

In just a few hours ago, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg officially announced that Facebook Shops will roll out on the platform today. According to his Facebook post, the initiative is to help SMEs to start a shop online and sell their things directly on Facebook. In other words, this will sort of work like Lazada and Shopee where customers can view the products, purchase, and even read the company's goals and vision.

While staying home during the movement control order, online shopping is one of the things we cling to nowadays. With that being said, we are here to announce that Shopee is coming back with another sale that you can’t resist on 4th April! The 4.4 Shopee Brands Festival will be happening on that day with some of the items that you might have been longing for on sale. No matter if it’s a smartphone or a smartwatch that you’re planning to get, you should definitely check out the sale on 4.4!

With the recent announcement of the movement restriction by the Malaysia Government, it was announced that food stores and food supply will still be running as usual. However, many are still more concern than ever with this announcement, as they don't feel comfortable going out to buy any food grocery.

Usher in this Chinese New Year with the Shopee Kongsi Fa Chai celebration. Starting from today till the 6th of February 2019, expect to catch amazing deals, offers, giveaways and social media contests on the shopping platform. Keep an eye out for these dates: 14th to 16th of January and 22nd till 24th of January as festival themed sales will make an appearance such as CNY Essentials Festivals, Shocking Sale Festival, Shopee Mall Festival, Cashback Festival and CNY Mega Festival.

From time to time, our readers tend to ask us where is the best place to buy a smartphone (and also asking where our "shop" is, lol). Normally, we would tell you that the official concept stores or websites are the way to go, but there are still some people out there just waiting to con your money. So TechNavers, we have decided to write this article just for you. Here's "How To Safely Buy An Original Smartphone Online" along with some tips and tricks too. 

One of the largest e-commerce platforms in Malaysia, 11street Malaysia turns 3 years old this year! To commemorate that, 11street is offering, and I quote, "mind-blowing deals, exciting contests and a whole load of prizes and giveaways worth RM50000 that are up for grabs" which are available on their web store from 1 April 2018 to 13 April 2018.

Malaysians sure loves to shop – and online shopping is a new avenue for Malaysians to spend their hard-earned cash. At least that is what 11street is saying, based on their 2016 online survey, conducted recently. The biggest takeaway is that the online shopping is thriving in Malaysia, and has potential to mature and grow further.
