I am a great shopaholic and love to do Online Shopping. And my favourite store is Myntra, but whenever I purchase anything online I prefer to use coupon codes to avail more discount.
Great list of shopping sites!! I purchase the things mostly from Flipkart. But I have to other sites.
Recently many new online shopping sites has launched in India and doing good job .
Some of them are Tata Cliq, Abof, Koovs, Oyo Rooms & Healthkart etc .
Hello admin,
This is a list of top online shopping sites in India.
All these stores are really good and delivery of products of these stores are really good.
amazon and ebay are the best and get great discounts , because the same products if you check in other sites prices are high only for electronics , for fashion we cant get the same clothes or bags in other sites.. so fashion sites always change trends and collections.. thanks for sharing..
I didn’t found FirstCry.com in the list. Being a mom to a 1 year old kid i keep buying baby stuff online as buying at stores seems to be a tough task. The major reason is the quality & variety of the products i get. Also i get discounts & free shipping. So, i liked buying online there.
What about royzez.com, it is also a good shopping site and gives discount on all products time to time. I bought some home decor products and mens clothing at the best price from this site.
I love shopping from flipkart, myntra , jabong and amazon
Good listing of shopping site. What about discount coupons? Be sure to visit TaazaCoupons before shopping for great discounts.
what about indiatimes shopping and star cj ? they have tons of offers and deals.
i personally like flipkart for electronics and jabong for clothes. Will try others thanks for sharing the list.
This one is really helpful. It is good to see Amazon and Ebay top the list, too. These two companies have been so efficient in dominating the online circle. Their products are simply all over the place. It will not be surprising to see them dominate on other departments too.
