Marketplaces are still afraid to enter new regions

While marketplaces do not work in new regions of Russia, gray courier services have started working there, which offer goods delivery services, charging a commission from buyers. Most often, with such a scheme, a point in the neighboring Rostov region is selected as the point of issue. As Vedomosti was convinced, in social networks and Telegram you can find dozens of services that bring goods to Donetsk and Luhansk from Ozon, Wildberries, Yandex.Market, as well as Chinese Aliexpress and Shein.

When placing an order through such a service in Telegram or Vkontakte, you can choose two delivery methods: on your own or with the help of service employees. In the first case, the user must place and pay for the order through the official application of the marketplace, selecting the point of issue of orders in it, which is indicated in the courier service. Next, the buyer sends the courier a code to receive the goods, and the courier must deliver the package to the customer. Most often in the list of cities to which orders are brought for residents of new Russian regions are Rostov-on-Don and Taganrog.
