Why do footwear eCommerces have such strange names? Let’s do an experiment: Try searching on Google. Surely, some of the first results you will get will be something like: Zalando, , Ulanka, Spartoo Y mercal . Well, the next one on the list is the much more common Marypaz.com.
Simply because of that (and because is one of the most sought after online shoe stores according to Google Trends) I think it deserves a place in this eCommerce ranking. Marypaz is a Spanish chain of department stores women’s footwear (and accessories) with more than 200 points of sale in Spain, Portugal and , and which, apparently, is doing well.
Marypaz.com : low prices, simple structure
Marypaz shoes are cheap.
Very cheap.
To give you an idea, only a small part of their most expensive products is close to €100. The vast majority of the catalog (more than 200 pairs) is around €35 and, in many cases, it does not even reach €10. Something quite striking in the always expensive, sophisticated, technological and design footwear sector. In any case, the value for money of Marypaz shoes seems good, especially if the client is responsible.
In principle, materials and finishes They are not exactly luxury, but nobody who buys one for € 9.99 will think of climbing Everest with them, I guess. The feeling is that with normal usethe ultra-economic Marypaz shoes can last long enough enough to amortize its meager price.
As for the online store itself, it seems that ecommerce is not a preferred channel for the managers of this Sevillian company. And not just because he design be too simple and careless. The categories into which the catalog is divided do not say much about its products. For a neophyte, navigation can be complicated.
For example, it is not normal that, to find a product, you have to look in a tab on the left and, from there, expand it. It seems that they do not bet decisively on the eCommerce and try to use the page as a showcase. Of course, on the cover we will see a review of the different offers they have on certain products. There is also a seeker so you can write directly the type of shoe or accessory you want. We have to say, then, that in this aspect the website has a lot to improve because good prices alone are not enough. When we go to buy a site, we look for ease of navigation and an attractive design. They have to improve so that it is an attractive website and that it can become a benchmark in electronic commerce.
Otherwise the records of the products are really meager. Several large and zoomable photos, but no explanation of the materials that make up the shoe. Not even a short paragraph describing its possible uses. A phrase. A word. An onomatopoeia. Whatever.
A questionable management of shipments and returns for shoes Marypaz.com
The Shipping costs of this ecommerce are somewhat fair. It is true that they are Free if your purchase is over €30, but now that you know its price level, you will recognize that you have to work hard to reach that figure. If you don’t you will have to pay €3.95. Of course, it must also be said that returns are free.
Not too cheap considering that the delivery term swings more than a Godzilla-sized pendulum. Between 2 and 7 days. Nothing less. They do not even give the option to pick up the purchase in one of their physical stores. It is upon reaching the politics of returns when Marypaz.com shows its lack of expertise ecommerce. According to its general conditions, you will receive hard cash, but not for the total paid.
An element in its favor is that it allows you to use your credit card (Visa and MasterCard) and Paypal to make purchases. In this way, a guaranteed payment is ensured, which is so important in a sector such as eCommerce. In this sense, it can be affirmed that the company’s policy is correct and the most common.
Of course: you can always choose to perform the return in a Marypaz physical store and save you all these headaches. If you have one nearby. (Store, not head) At least, prices are good.
