Trendyol is a popular Turkish online store offering clothing, footwear, accessories, and other products. It boasts approximately 33 million registered users. Since 2022, it has gained particular popularity in Russia. Here, you can purchase products from brands that have left the market at affordable prices. An additional advantage is the constant seasonal sales and clearance of collections.
Unfortunately, Trendyol in Russia does not operate officially. You can register an account, but delivery is not provided. This can be verified by checking the list of countries available for purchase on the platform's main page.A few preparatory steps are required. Let’s start with the language barrier. Unfortunately, the website is tailored to the local market. English can only be set in the app. In other cases, you will have to work with the Turkish version. Fortunately, modern technology comes to the rescue.
Many browsers offer an automatic translation feature.
Alternatively, you can install special extensions from the store.
Select the second section in the pop-up window. Now, enter your email and other required information. Be careful when ticking the checkboxes. The second checkbox subscribes you to newsletters, meaning you will receive promotional emails.
The account is created, but during the ordering process, the system will request a mobile phone number to send a code. This poses a significant problem, as messages often do not arrive on Russian numbers. It is best to use a Turkish contact, as this minimizes potential issues.
As mentioned earlier, the SMSBOWER service can help. Register on their platform, top up your balance, and purchase a virtual number. To do this, specify the desired service, select the country, and click “+” to make the purchase.
Sometimes, issues with undelivered messages arise. Simply click “Cancel” next to the number (the funds will be returned to your account) and make a new purchase.
The platform does not ship to Russia, as mentioned earlier. You need to place an order to a warehouse in Turkey and then forward the goods to Russia. It is not advisable to handle this process independently. The complexity of this procedure can be excessive, especially for retail purchases.
Delivery from Trendyol.com to Russia is much simpler if you use intermediary services. They charge a small commission for their work. Ultimately, it is cheaper and faster than resolving all the issues on your own.Here are three of the most popular intermediaries:
All the services mentioned above offer multiple payment methods, including Russian bank cards.
