Hi all,

Does anyone know an online shop with a big and wide-spread assortment that isn't just a marketplace with individual suppliers?

I haven't bought expensive stuff from amazon for years but still used it occasionally to fill some gaps from my shopping list for small special items that I couldn't find offline. You can easily get all of that in other online shops or marketplaces like eBay but you'd have to order everything separately: You'll pay shipping multiple times and produce way more waste for packaging.

Sample shopping list:

  • Sweetening vanilla flavor drops (you typically get those in sport related shops where you also get protein powder)
  • Yellow or green shoe laces with 140cm length
  • Environment-friendly sunscreen stick with UV protection of 50

I know individual online shops where I can all of that but is there a shop where I might get this (or similar weird combinations of stuff) all in one box?

Kind regards, rbn

In Romania they have eMAG.ro, I heard that they are looking to move to other countries too. They are pretty big there.

@HunterLF yeah, we never had Amazon. eMag is the big player here. I saw they're also present in Bulgaria and Hungary but I'm not sure how big are they there.

Emag looks indeed really interesting. i found a sugar free syrup, laces in different colors, sun screen and a lot of other stuff that I ordered from Amazon in the past. But it seems like they don't ship outside Romania. I didn't even got to the point to enter my address or calculate shipping. The system requires a phone number and German numbers are all rejected as invalid.

@rbn I was expecting this 🙁 glad that you found it more helpful, though 😁 probably with some demand they will also expand to more countries in Europe.

Oh, that's too bad. It would be such a big win if they start making deliveries outside Romania, being that they are so big there and a potential competitor for companies in the EU.
