You have heard of GroupOn, Group buying, now we bring to you WeBUY. I recently came across www.webuy.com.my, as you all know, me and the
bf are people who actively seek to look for new things to eat, sometimes there are just so many kinds of food and choice that we would like to try but a bit skeptical cos it may be new and it may be too costly, bear in mind that we eat out everyday (breakfast, lunch and even dinner). That is when I friend recommended me to try out
WeBUY because they had a superbly cheap deal of RM 6 for a tapas deal worth RM 20.90.
RM 6 wei! That is way cheaper than my one McValue meal. And I can even order a cup of coffee and not stuff my face with Coke or gassy drinks. Mind me, I’m a coffee lover / addict whatever you call it *swoons*
For those of you whom may not be familiar with Group Buying, it actually originated in forums. So bangga, my Hong Kie friend actually told me the history behind it, so let me sound like a know-it-all for this part. What I was “storied” was that in Hong Kong, there is a group of parents whom are very active in forums and they always buy things together in group, as buying milk powder frequently is rather costly and they realized the power in buying in bulk and group negotiations. So what they would do, is they would gather a few parents whom are also keen to buy milk powder / baby napkins, etc in a bulk, and collect as many orders as they can to share and head over to the supplier and negotiate for a superbly cheap rate. That was how it originated, and slowly the model was copied and that’s how
WeBUY surfaced. Rather than negotiating on your own, now the smart people like
WeBUY will be negotiating on your behalf and giving you the best offers all in one site.
For
WeBUY the feature deals will only have life span of up to 3 days, so if you miss out, there goes the offer ☹ some of the offers ranges from 50-90% discounts but do bear in mind, the deals are only “ON/Activated” if they meet the required amount of users needed for the deal. As I mentioned it is a group buy for a certain number of people – so if the required number of sale is not achieved, then the deal is “OFF”, there will definitely not be any charges.
The difference between WeBUY and other group buying sites is their selection process. Currently there are two distinctive groups of group buying sites.
1) One that focuses on nothing but prices, as long as the deal is cheap enough, they will feature it.
2) The other (which is
WeBUY’s school of thought), goes through stringent selection process, by only exploring quality merchants then strike a good deal. So their main focus is consumers’ experience.
All in all,
WeBUY believes strongly in good consumer experience in various kinds of food, spas, events, all at an affordable price. Which is why people like me – lets rephrase it, suckers like me :P will definitely we trying out new things. Like now I’m on a hunt down for a new facial place, so I can take the opportunity to try out all the facials places at areas that I would like and which suits me best, I can decide on subscribing long term with them lor. So dai right?
Another highlight would be the look and feel of the site, it is not as cluttered as the rest and has very easy to use functions. Not only that, the site also has a “suggest a business” feature. Where users can tell
WeBUY the deals that they are interested in, and if there’s enough demand,
WeBUY will strike a deal with the merchant and get the deal featured. That is good isn’t it? Like if you like a Louis Vuitton bag, and if over like 1,000 people were suggesting the same thing, they would definitely go and negotiate for a good offer for you. This is something to look forward to, as other Group buying sites only allow you to anticipate on what they can provide you. But this is different * yippeeee*
