While everyone’s attending
Halloween events, I am starting my biannual general cleaning. Our home badly
needs organization despite decluttering and cleaning often. Having three boys
in the house is the main reason, I guess. No explanations needed! LOL! We also need a
new dining table and sofa ASAP. When talking about purchasing new furniture or
furnishing, budget is the number one consideration especially to moms like me
who work on a very tight budget. Not only that, most of the furniture available
in malls can’t fit a tiny home like we have. When there are available, they are
cheap but the quality is not good. Most big furniture depots have good
selections but they are too expensive. So after two years of planning to change
our dilapidated furniture that we thought would remain a dream at the moment, an invite from Home
Factory Outlets (HFO) made it happen in an instant.
Honestly, I didn’t hear about HFO before. It was the very first
time that I visited the place with Loley today to check-out its Grand Celebration First Anniversary Sale and the people behind the company didn’t lie that we could avail the following!
• 80% off on a wide range of of furniture and furnishing
• Buy 1 Take 1 items
• Bargain Corner (50% off and up)
• PISO Madness Deals (with minimum purchase)
• AND MANY MORE!
After enjoying the best deals, these are the things that I consider the strengths of HFO:
1. It has wide array of premium
but very affordable, as in super cheap, home and office furniture, furnishing, appliances,
dining wares, sofas, beds, and more that fit big and small homes.
Here is the LINK TO THE PHOTOS of some of the products that you can purchase there. These are just a few or
shall I say tip of the iceberg.
2. Its staff members are very
accommodating and friendly. Despite being tired due to so many customers, they
remain enthusiastic and very much willing to serve.
3. Its systematic and organized. It
follows an order so that every client can be served properly. There is no need
to wait long. Transactions can be finished smoothly and quickly.
4. Installment plan with so many
payment options to choose from are available aside from cash. Here they are:
Credit Card
CitiBank
For Php5,000-Php19,999= three months
installment, 0% interest
For Php20,000 and up= six months installment,
0% interest
Other Banks
For Php5,000-Php49,999= three months

For Php50,000 and up= six months installment,

Non-Credit Card
You may avail of this when you have a bill minimum of Php5,000. These
are the requirements:

For inquiries about payment options, you may
call (02)753-5711.
5. Delivery service is available
at reasonable price for commuters like me and to those who don’t have a vehicle
to bring home their purchases. Delivery fee depends on the location but it
starts at Php420 within Metro Manila regardless of how many items you purchase.
The more you purchase, the more sulit the
delivery charge. Delivery schedule is not on the day of purchasing itself. In our case, the delivery of our purchase is after seven days.
6. It’s accessible to all types of clients, with private vehicles or
commuters alike. From Shaw Boulevard going to
Pasig, alight at Pioneer Street, Unilab is the landmark. Turn left. From
there, ride a tricycle going to 14 Williams Street where HFO is located.
Unilab Bayanihan Center is the landmark on the right and the first street
after the establishment is Williams Street. Turn right. HFO is so
easy to see. The ride costs Php20.00. Actually, the location can be reached through walking. It's three blocks away from Shaw Boulevard corner
Pioneer Street.
HFO is indeed the best place to shop for home and office essentials when you want
to revamp your home or office. The Grand First Anniversary Sale is only until tomorrow,
Oct. 31, 2016, from 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM for you to save more on your purchases. It assures
its clients that within the anniversary sale, the prices of its products are very,
very low although it still remains on sale on ordinary days.
Here are some tips
that might help when you visit.
1. Visit in the morning so that
you can get the best deals and steals. It's so convenient to go around the warehouse
and choose without the presence of too many people. It’s colder to shop in
the morning because it’s not air conditioned although industrial fans are strategically
located everywhere.
2. Bring water and wear comfortable clothing especially when you visit
in the afternoon. As I’ve mentioned, the place is not air conditioned.
3. Bring at least one valid ID especially when you are going to use
your credit card or the requirements needed for your chosen payment method mentioned above.
4. Have a list with you on what you really want to purchase so that
you can focus on what to look for. The selections are overwhelming and having a
list can make you stick to buying only the things that you really need.
5. If you think that you can’t stick with your list, please bring
extra cash if you don’t plan to avail the installment plan. Honestly, going
there can make you realize that there are things that you still need. But
please, stick with your list as much as possible to avoid overspending.
6. Be decisive. Make sure that when you choose a particular item, it’s
final already. See to it that the staff marks it SOLD with your name on it. Items
come and go so quickly that when you are fickle minded, your choices may be
taken by other clients. Ganoon siya
kabilis! It happened to us this morning but it was a blessing in disguise
and we were able to see a better option.
I hope this information helps. I guarantee that you are not going to regret visiting HFO. HFO upholds to its mission: "To turn every Filipino's house into a home" without breaking your budget.
