That saves a whole lot of time if you think about it.

With growing popularity of this business, you can see the number of ecommerce companies growing every day in Nepal and not all of them provide quality and timely service. It is really essential that you choose the right company or the website to shop from if you don’t want to end up disappointed.

We have researched and choosed top five of the best ones in the online business in Nepal.

Daraz

With over 12 million followers on Facebook, we believe that Daraz Online Shopping takes the lead in the ecommerce business. Daraj Online Shopping formerly known as Kaymu was later acquired by the Alibaba group, the E-commerce giant of China. They offer wide array of products such as electronics, home appliances, gadgets, groceries, clothes, watches, beauty products and many more. As their motto says “the only shopping destination you’ll ever need”, they have huge collection of products. The fact that anyone can become a seller using their platform contributes to its collection.

The website is quite easy to navigate through. You can easily find the product you need through the organized lists. They also have mobile applications for both Android and IOS devices.

The only payment option Daraz is offering right now is the Cash On Delivery, which is the choice of payment for many people anyway.

Daraz usually deliversr their products within 2-3 days of the order placement inside Kathmandu Valley and 3-5 working days for the orders that are outside of the valley. Considering that there are many ecommerce website that offer to deliver on the same day, this can be a big “No’ for some people.

Once the order is placed you are can track your order on their website inside My Order section. You can cancel your order if its currently in pre-shipped status.

SastoDeal

SastoDeal takes the second spot on our list. Founded in 2011, currently, they have 5 Million followers on Facebook and are actively updating their products. In terms of product categories, they have similar kinds of products like Daraz with few additional products such as cakes. They also sell books and reading materials at a cheap price, and they branded it as SastoBook.

SastoDeal gained a lot of popularity over the years. As their name suggests they aim to offer products at a cheap price. With lots of active engagement on social media and many exciting offers, SastoDeal might soon take a lead in the field of online shopping in Nepal.

The website is quite attractive. They also have mobile application which is currently only available to the Android users.

SastoDeal delivers within 2 days of order placement inside Kathmandu Valley, however it can take 4-5 days for the orders outside the valley. The delivery charges are calculated according to the weight of product. For detailed pricing you can check here.

SastoDeal also have Express Delivery, through which we can get the products within 3 hours of the order placement. However the delivery charge is a bit more expensive than the regular one.

You can also track your orders thorugh their website like most websites offer these days.

eSewapasal

eSewa, the first online payment gateway of Nepal has their own e-commerce organization namely eSewapasal. eSewa already has huge user base all over the Nepal. It’s no surprise that the eSewapasal was also taken positively by wide audience. eSewapasal aims to be the leading online shopping of Nepal by providing quality based services and cutting edge technologies.

They already have huge collections of products on their websites through participation of major stores inside Kathmandu Valley. Electronics, gadgets, clothes, food and beverages, furnitures are some of them.

The website seems really moderns and easy to use for most people. Currently they do not have mobile application for the eSewapasal but I anticipate that they are working towards releasing it.

eSewa usually delivers its product within 24 hours of the order placement, which is really good compared to other organizations. They do charge Rs 50 delivery charge for products that value below Rs 1000 which is really cheap.

You can make the payment through their own flagship product, eSewa. There are other options too like Visa Cards and Master Cards.

They do have 7 days return policies and through my own experience they are quite quick about it.

They are operating only inside Kathmandu Valley at the moment, however they plan to expand all over the Nepal.

Muncha

Muncha is probablt the first e-commerce established in Nepal. They were found at year 2000 as the online version of the departmental store Muncha house. Initially they were named munchahouse.com which later converted to muncha.com which is currently running to this day. Although they were the first one in this industry, they certainly failed to keep up with the competitors.

Currently they offer wide array of products, which you can eaily find in their websites. Electronics goods, clothes, jwelleries and gifts are some of them.

What makes Muncha stands out from the rest is that they have lots of payment options including the international ones i.e. Visa cards and Master Cards. This is the reason why many people that are living abroad choose this company to send gifts to their friends, family and loved ones here in Nepal.

NepBay

NepBay is also one the oldest ones. They were established at 2007 and is steadily growing since then. They were the first one here in Nepal that introduced Cash on Delivery which surprisingly took a great success in the Market. People were excited, they were placing orders, getting products at their doorsteps. Nepbay definitely shaped the e-commerce business in Nepal and made cash on delivery a trustable medium of payment.

They sell almost everything. From goods to services, they have it all. The Nepbay Shopping Mall enables anyone to sell their goods and services through their platform.

Like Muncha, NepBay also has lots of payment options to choose from.

Nepbay has also taken a hit from growing competitors and is struggling to keep their game. Their website is really confusing, filled with lots of informations.

Bottomline is they can be trusted for your service.
