My Chikka Wallet experience

From time to time, I buy prepaid credits to replenish my Globe tattoo or Smart Bro SIMs, and since I worked in a different time zone, buying prepaid load from my suking tindahan is not possible anymore. This need made me search for a service that would allow me to buy prepaid loads using my paypal funds.

How to use buy prepaid credits

Buying prepaid loads using chikka wallet is really simple and easy. Here’s how…

1. Go to https://wallet.chikka.com and proceed to create an account

Problems encountered

• Due to fraud protection, my account was locked due to my IP address was tagged as banned, I was then asked to email them some credentials. This is the time when I used a prepaid Smart Bro connection. I had created another account when connected with SBW, and the problem was solved.
• Loading of Prepaid internet account (Smart bro Prepaid, Sun Broadband Prepaid etc..) is not possible. You will receive a message telling you that the number you entered is invalid. In this case, I just used a regular smart, sun SIM using the service and transfer the load to my internet broadband SIMs.

Good thing there are some sellers I met at Tipidcp.com that is selling some accessories for the HTC Desire.

Online Experience

I ordered a Casemate Barely There case from topelectronics and paid last October 04, Monday. Topelectronics is really accommodating, he answered all my queries via text promptly.

Payment Method

topelectronics accepts different payment methods. I had chosen to deposit my payment through their BDO account, but aside from bank deposit, there is also an option to pay via credit card.

Delivery Time

My order arrived yesterday, October 07. As an online shopper, the transition time after payment and receipt of the Barely There case is a bit delayed,but still tolerable. As they informed me that shipping of the item takes approximately 2-3 days.

Item is shipped thru Air21. Upon opening the package, I noticed that the box is already open. I assumed that they had performed some initial checking of the product that’s why?

The screen protector that I got is slightly bent on the side, so when I applied it, there is a small area that won’t stick on my desire’s screen. Nevertheless, It is still tolerable, since it is not the screen protector that I am after.

In general, transacting with topelectronics is fast and hassle free.

Yes, I bought my HTC desire from an online seller, which I had known from tipidcp.com.

Why purchase online? HTC phones are not that well known here in the Philippines, that I seldom see some stores carrying the said brand.  I want this phone so bad and had no time to check from one store to another if the said model is available. I called some electronics store but most of them have no idea about the phone lol nor no available stocks at that time.

I contacted several sellers with good reputations based on reviews last August 14, and only janjanman answered a favorable reply.

He patiently answered all my queries thru txt message and sometimes called me thru my mobile phone for clearer conversation. I really hesitated at first since that was the first online purchase greater than Php4000 that i am about to make. My desire cost me Php24,800.00. Not a small amount of money if ever I’m about to deal with a scammer right?

After further cheking on Janjanman’s credibility on tipidcp, ebay and other forums, I decided to close the deal.

Aside from possitive feedback that Janjanman have, he also offers an official HTC warranty for one year. This further strengthten my trust to this seller.

We were supposed to meet at the mall but he had other appointments which conflicts on my time and location, so he just asked me to go to their house to get the unit and just meet his mother. We had a smooth and fast transantion.

The unit is factory unlocked and all the package contents are complete. My desire is in brand new condition and had received  official updates from HTC. No unexpected problems encountered until now.

Janjanman also sells other cellphone models from other brands. All brand new and factory unlocked.

Ebay

Online Experience

Being a mom, my first priority are my kids, my hubby only follows hehe.. and so I stumble again to this site wherein they sell a unique, cheap and fashionable carriers for babies. With Tiny Tots site bearing their product logos, you will surely be thrilled on what else is inside their shop, you won’t be out of the way since navigation tools on her site is very much friendly and with no complications at all, no glittering or moving icons, colors not too much bright and most of all no background music! =)

Upon looking at Tiny Tots  products, you will really get curious on how effective they are on kids specially on babies, but to my disappointment, when I first posted a comment on their baby carrier photos, in which I asked if the baby will be really comfortable in it and if it won’t harm the baby specially her legs, I didn’t received a reply and worst she even deleted my post! I don’t know if its just by accident or what.

Well, anyway, as I searched  for other carriers for my baby, I found out that her shop has the most easy to use and mind you, more cheaper carriers than the other stores. And so I took my chance again, I texted the seller and whoa! She is very accommodating. All of the questions that popped into my mind had been answered by her, with a very quick response.

Payment Method

Finally, As I got convinced to  purchase one, but can’t submit Order Form since multiply site is blocked from our office, she allowed me to just text my details and the deal is closed. Sent my payment via G-Cash ( I add up ten pesos as service charge as she said it is usually shouldered by the buyer ).  Her other payment option is through Bank Deposits at either BDO or BPI Accounts or COD if client is near West Avenue Quezon City.

Delivery Time
The product was delivered the next day through Xend.

She also has customized onesies and t-shirts at her shop and they are really very unique but I think they are a bit expensive with their selling price starting at 399. I might just go for Osh Kosh or Big & Small Co. if I will be willing to shell out that amount for my kids clothing.=)

I have never find another socks anywhere in the mall as this online shop have. Owned by Rhianna and Sherryl, both fashionable moms became very well-known because of their “FUNKY FEET SOCKS”. With their very simple and neat multiply site, you will never be out of way in finding unique and one of a kind items for your little ones.

Upon my first purchase with them, I have become a frequent buyer at their store. With their shoe-like socks, my two little darlings really catches the attention of many whenever we go to the mall, visit their pediatrician or just attend family gatherings they have look like Little Fashion Divas ( forgive me if I’m exaggerating ). They also sell other stuffs for kids that is not usually seen at the malls. You will have a really smooth transaction with them with their modes of payment that you could choose from, bank deposits at BDO, G-cash or C.O.D. and a great deal of next day delivery.

Being moms like me, they both are very accomodating with inquiries, giving you straight and forward answers with regards to the products they are selling.

As for my recent visit at their shop, they have a new collection of their socks that is another hit for my youngest daughter. At a much cheaper price since they come in 3pcs per pack unlike before wherein they have it in 5’s plus it comes in a much larger size, perfect for daughter’s chubby feet hehe.. bought it as soon as they become available. Right now I’m thinking of buying at least one set each for a girl and a boy and give it as a Christmas gift for their Pedia’s daughter since she vocally says she want the very same socks as my daughter have and another one for a friend’s son to be baptized this month.

And as I browsed upon their blogs, they now have a slot at Rustan’s Department Store, stuffs at their online shop are displayed there and of course a little less on the cost since you don’t have to pay for the shipping. A highly recommended shop for mommies like me!
