The beauty of online shopping is that there are no limits to the treasure trove available to us. Electronics, cosmetics, or fashion? Take your pick. And unlike shopping in-person, we don’t have to pop into multiple stores just to get what we need, with one-stop portals like Lazada having a plethora of categories on-site.
This month, Lazada will be holding their long-awaited 9/9 sale where DBS/POSB cardmembers will get to enjoy 15% off. This is solely for app purchases, so you’ll be able to easily shop through your phone even when on the go. There will also be in-app mobile games in which you can potentially enjoy prices slashed down to $0 – read on for the promo code and to find out more!
Apart from their seemingly never-ending list of products, Lazada has recently also become known for their coveted Surprise Boxes. Think of these as surprise presents from you, to you, mailed straight to your doorstep.

This 9/9, there are going to be Surprise Boxes from 99 brands up for grabs yet again at $29 and $49. Bargain hunters would be glad to note that the goodies included are guaranteed to be worth much more than what you paid – sometimes even in the 3-digit range – and all come from reputable brands.
And don’t worry, they aren’t gonna be a random mishmash of stuff either – you can pick your desired category, such as beauty or electronics, so whether you’re a skincare junkie or techie, you know that the items awaiting will be of use to you.

These boxes are great for those who have a vague idea of what kind of items they want, but are indecisive when it comes to selecting individual brands and products. They’re usually released in limited quantities, so fastest fingers first!
Playing Maplestory will get you Mesos and perhaps nothing more than instant gratification, but playing Lazada’s in-app mobile games from 6-9 September will let you enjoy further discounts and shopping vouchers.
“Shake It!” will have you shaking your phone to win vouchers – but remember, you’ll need to be a registered Lazada app user. You’ll also have to be ready to shake from the App Homepage at the following scheduled timings:

“Slash It!”, as its name suggests, will allow for selected products’ prices to potentially be slashed to an unbelievable $0. Each product has a set number of “slashes” that need to be done before users can obtain the discount. Here’s a hint: you’ll need the help of your friends with the Lazada app, so gear up your kakis for some teamwork.

Before your huge shopping spree on 9 September itself, you can also look forward to Lazada’s Fashion & Beauty Day and Mother & Baby Day on 7 and 8 September respectively.
