This post will provide a list of online electronics shopping websites. You will also read my friends and my personal reviews, and my experiences. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkish e-commerce is growing every day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even in my family, there is not a single person who has not bought something from the Internet. Moreover, my dad, sister, and wife professionally sell products through Turkish online shopping sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, it can be confusing for foreigners because Turkish online shopping sites are local brands that are not known internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best online shopping website for buying electronics in Turkey is Trendyol. It is the most reliable and widely used online shopping site in Turkey.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mostly buy electronics from Trendyol<\/a>‘s online shopping website. Sometimes, I also use Amazon Turkey<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most well-known retail stores that sell electronics are Teknosa<\/a>, Vatan Computer, <\/a>or Media Markt<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I visit these retail stores to get an idea of what electronics I should buy. Then, I purchase the product from online websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online shopping for electronics is usually cheaper than in-store purchases because retail companies also add their in-store expenses to the product’s price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just want to highlight some shopping tips and some information before moving into my list of electronics shopping websites in Turkey.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the day that I wrote this post, I purchased a projector, an electrical lawnmower, and a Barbie table for my daughter from Trendyol. Lidya, my daughter, examines them very seriously.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Electronics Shopping: My Experiences and My Survey with Turkish Locals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I used nearly all of the Turkish shopping websites that I listed below. In the old days, I mostly used N11 and Hepsiburada, but lately, I only use Trendyol and Amazon Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some instances, I still use N11, but it is 1%.  For me, N11 is a shopping website for rare hardware and windsurfing gear, but not electronics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dad also uses N11 because he is too lazy to open a new account in Trendyol, and he is not a frequent internet shopper like me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In N11, sellers are not regulated as Trendyol. For this reason, I use them very rarely. For example, I bought a laptop two years ago, and I waited for 15 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I got an email stating that the supplier ran out of the product and could not fulfill the order that I paid 15 days ago. N11 paid me back, but I lost time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, Electronics are not cheap in Turkey. Tax is the primary reason for expensive electronic products in Turkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Turkish government applies 30-50% percent import taxes on electronic products. There is VAT (Value Added Tax) around 8-18%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further down in this article, I explained in more detail why electronics are not cheap in Turkey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n

The projector is playing cartoons on the wall, the table is full, and the family is happy. I love to surprise them with the things that I buy from the Internet. I was also happy with the electrical lawnmower. I love the smell of freshly cut grass.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

My survey among my Turkish friends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I did not want to limit this post to my experience, so I did a little survey with Turkish locals around me. All of the women whom I asked are using Trendyol and nothing else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men compare prices between shopping websites,  yet nearly all of them have Trendyol accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of them also never had problems with Trendyol, and the minority who had issues with Trendyol\u2019s sellers solved their problems with customer service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trendyol’s customer service is the most easily reachable customer service among other online shopping sites. This blog is the combined experience of all the Turkish people that I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The List of Online Electronics Shopping Websites in Turkey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I tried to rank the electronic shopping websites from good to bad. I have included the most important and known internet sites first on top of my list. I hope it will be helpful to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Trendyol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Best Known For : <\/strong>All kinds of Electronics, most diverse selection<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trendyol is the most popular and reliable shopping site in Turkey. Trendyol is the shopping website that my wife and I use the most for our online purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years ago, the other shopping websites were able to compete with Trendyol, but today they are the leader in online shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trendyol is the equivalent of Amazon US in Turkey. Trendyol surpasses most shopping sites in many electronics categories as well as the shopping experience.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides providing regular electronics, Trendyol provides Udemy courses, PC games from Steam, Turkish cable network subscriptions, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best of all is Trendyol\u2019s easy return policy. If you do not like the product, you can return it easily. Furthermore, you do not need to pay cancellation fees or transportation fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trendyol regulates its sellers more strictly than others. (I know this because my sister sells cosmetics and my wife sells baby products). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
