Low prices, huge assortment and free shipping are what Asian online shops love for. If you haven't tried buying in China or Korea so far, this article is for you. In it, you will find an overview of the top ten Asian online stores, and experienced shoppers will receive a bonus in the form of an extensive list of marketplaces.

On June 18, 2015, another large Chinese retailer, the JD.com online store, entered the Russian market. This company is the second in terms of trading volume after Alibaba Group, which owns the famous AliExpress and Taobao. JD.com has launched a Russian-language website and is ready to fight for buyers with sites that have been operating in the post-Soviet space for a long time.

We have studied Asian online stores, read customer reviews about them and compiled the top of the best. The list is not ranked - it's just a dozen sites with the best assortment, service and prices. If you want, arrange the sites in descending order in the comments yourself.

AliExpress

It is the largest trading platform in China. A kind of wholesale and retail online hypermarket, where thousands of sellers and hundreds of thousands of goods are gathered. AliExpress is often compared to eBay: you can buy by the piece or in lots, you can buy immediately or participate in an auction, and the conditions and quality depend on the specific seller. Only AliExpress does not sell used items.

AliExpress has a Russified version of the site (not to be confused with product descriptions by sellers), where prices are displayed in rubles. Mobile applications have been released for more convenient and efficient shopping.

Another plus is the ability to communicate directly with sellers and a buyer protection system. The seller receives money only when the buyer confirms receipt of the goods. Thanks to disputes, it is possible to return what was spent or receive other compensation in the event of marriage or unfair trade.

There are many payment methods: from bank cards to electronic payment systems. Shipping is generally free. But that depends on the seller. On AliExpress, various sales are constantly held, as well as operate.

AliExpress is focused on the external market, and this is its main difference from another subsidiary of the Alibaba Group -. Taobao also has a huge range of products, from paper clips to computers. But in order to register on a site that, by the way, is completely in Chinese, you need to have a working Chinese phone number. In addition, you can only pay for purchases with cards issued in China.

Fortunately, there are plenty of them:, and so on.
