Ukrainians are actively learning the Internet and going online. The latest events, which quarantined half of the planet's population, contribute even more to the development of Internet trade.

Changing the way of life stimulates the development of digital services. You can order almost anything you want without leaving your home. Restricting freedom of movement is not a reason to deprive yourself of the usual joys. After all, information, goods and money can move around the world without restrictions.
According to the statistics of the NP Shopping service, almost every third parcel delivered to Ukraine from abroad is an eBay product, and every fourth one is from Amazon. The third most popular is the famous stock online store of branded products 6pm.
If you are looking for a specific item, be sure to compare its price from several sellers. For this, it is not necessary to sometimes go to stores and jostle in tight fitting rooms. Thanks to search systems, price aggregator sites and the ability to filter by multiple parameters, the time to search for the desired product is reduced to a few minutes.
The biggest problem of online shopping remains the impossibility of trying on and feeling the product. This especially applies to foreign online stores. Carefully check the size chart, read customer reviews. Many manufacturers do not match the size markings. Do not be guided by the labels on your clothes, choose a thing clearly according to the size chart. This rule also applies to shoes. Manufacturers recommend tracing the foot on a sheet of paper and measuring the distance from the center of the heel to the tip of the big toe. It is best to measure the length of both feet and in the case of a slight difference, give the preferred larger figure.
Despite the huge selection, not all product positions may be available for Ukrainian buyers. And free delivery is often carried out only on the territory of the country where the seller works. In this case, the forwarding service NP Shopping from the Nova Poshta International company will come to the rescue. On the service site, registered users receive the address of the intermediate warehouse. The package from the online store arrives at this warehouse, after which it is transported to Ukraine. In addition to the USA, the service works in China, Great Britain and Poland.
When making a purchase, take into account possible additional taxes and fees. Since 2019, amendments to the Tax Code have entered into force in Ukraine. They regulate the duty-free import of parcels from other countries. If the cost of the forwarded item is less than 100 euros, you do not need to pay anything extra. The difference, which exceeds the amount of duty-free import, is charged with 20% VAT. If the value of the package is more than 150 euros, you will need to pay an additional customs fee of 10% of the excess amount.
