I have been shopping online since 2013 and I can say that online shopping has improved A LOT. I am in Germany right now and I have been using Amazon but here are some sites that you might want to check out as well.

Temu

I don’t think a lot of people here know about this but it’s like Aliexpress but with a more user-friendly interface. I think almost all products are shipped from China so expect it to arrive in a week or more. I usually get some decor or some stuff for the house like a broom, tissue holder, mini-printer, etc. And there’s almost always a coupon you can use.

Aliexpress

Instead of buying a digital weighing scale for €10, I bought it from Aliexpress for €1,79 (Shipping was free because my order in total was more than €10.) I also bought some writing materials/stationery here.

Ebay

I got some good refurbished items here. I moved last year and I got some of my furniture here. They held up well.

Cashback

In Germany, they have the `Payback´Card (Do they know that actually means ‘Revenge’?). In the Philippines, we have Shopback. Click here to get started. (This is a referral link). I have gotten Php4000+ back because of it.

In my opinion, it’s better to use a credit card than a debit card to shop online. You can get points and there are a lot of promos and discounts. Don’t have one yet? Apply here for a credit card with Unionbank. (For Philippine citizens and residents only) I have been satisfied with their services so far. Use my link to sign up and get a welcome gift once approved. (Check their website what their welcome gift is since it changes from time to time.)

Alibaba

I’ve never actually tried buying anything from here but I’ve been considering it. If you are interested in buying big ticket items like a huge designer sofa, you might want to check it out.

Shein

I think at this point every one and their mother knows about Shein. I have found some really nice clothes there. They have stepped up their game recently.

Sinsay

They have really cute home goods and decors. Their clothes are nice too. Some have even better quality than more expensive fast fashion brands like Zara and the like.
