Xiaomi Redmi 1S has been officially ‘available’ in the Malaysian market since July 8th; almost two months ago. ‘Available’ as in, the batch will sell out in just a few minutes, only to be restocked the next Tuesday. Sure, carriers like Celcom and DiGi are offering the device for free, but for a phone as affordable as the Redmi 1S (RM419), you would want to purchase it outright and not be tied to any contract.
With that in mind, the more vendors carry the elusive Xiaomi devices, the better. Lazada Malaysia will be offering 3,000 units of the Redmi 1S on its first run that will happen exactly at 3pm on Wednesday, August 27th, 2014, over at http://www.lazada.com.my/.
We all knew that previously over at Mi.com/my, the Redmi 1S was sold out in just 6 minutes, and judging by the relatively low sets Lazada is carrying on the 27th, we can be sure that this batch will be gone just as fast.
Igor Pezzilli, CEO of Lazada Malaysia said, “Not only will consumers get the chance to purchase Redmi 1S, but they will also enjoy an effortless shopping experience with the multiple payment methods we offer, such as cash on delivery (COD).”
In fact, besides cash on delivery, Lazada also takes a wide range of payment methods like your usual MasterCard & Visa, PayPal, Financial Process Exchange (FPX), as well as transfers from banks like Alliance, CIMB, Hong Leong, Maybank, and RHB.
Going further, Lazada is challenging itself to deliver the device within 48 hours to folks who purchased it within Klang Valley, or 72 hours for the rest of West Malaysia. If it fails to keep the promise, it will offer a complimentary RM50 cash voucher. Here are the terms and conditions:
- The Lazada Promise is only applicable for orders on the Xiaomi Redmi 1S.
- Deliveries within Klang Valley will be done within 48 hours.
- Deliveries within West Malaysia (outside of Klang Valley) will be done within 72 hours.
- The Lazada Promise commences once you receive an email and/or an SMS (whichever occurs earlier) that your order has been shipped.
- If we are unable to keep our promise, Lazada will offer a complimentary cash voucher of RM50 for use on our website.
- The promise is deemed fulfilled at the point of first delivery attempt to the initial address provided by you.
- Not applicable for deliveries to East Malaysia.
Xiaomi Redmi 1S is a Snapdragon 400-powered smartphone that has a rather high 8-megapixel camera with a dual-SIM dual-standby support. You can read more about our rundown of the features and specifications here. Visit Lazada Malaysia’s Redmi 1S page for more on the sale.
