If you love to shop online, there are some pretty awesome sites out there that you may have never heard of. These are a bit off the beaten path, but you can find great deals on fashions, footwear, and more in these online shopping sites that I know that I, personally, wish I’d heard of ages ago:
1. Shpock
Do you love yard sales? If so, you will love Shpock, which is like “having a yard sale in your pocket”. All you have to do is download the app, and post photos of the items you want to sell. Your items will be displayed to others in your area, and you can contact each other to arrange pickups and payments. This is a free app for Apple and Android users.
2. Shazzy Fitness
If you are looking to get into shape, check out these fun new dance fitness DVD’s. These 25-minute dance workouts are for people who don’t have time for the gym, and prefer to exercise to the latest Christian hip-hop tunes. The beginner-level moves are very easy to learn plus the inspirational music is uptempo with beats you can’t help but dance to.
3. Prizeo
There are lots of opportunities to be had here. For instance, you may get to have lunch or dinner with a popular celebrity if you win one of the contests hosted by the Make-a-Wish Foundation. Just recently Zac Efron said that he would be giving away many signed items, including his car, and the opportunity for one lucky fan to be flown to LA to hang out with him in Hollywood.
4. eShakti
This is an amazing website for those who have a hard time getting clothing to fit them just right. Here you will find clothing in sizes ranging from 0 to 36W, and you can have any item customized to your exact measurements for an additional fee of $7.50.
5. Depop
This is a phone app that self-describes as being “a little shop in your pocket”. Just like Shpock, you can take photos of items you want to sell, and upload them in a few seconds. This app is owned by the creators of Instagram, so you can also follow friends, and see and like their items for sale. There is even a private chat function. This free app is available for iPhone and Android.
6. Runway Bandits
This website is based in Singapore, and offers basic designs in simple costs at awesome low prices. The only drawback is that shipping to the US is $14. It’s totally worth it though, if you’re buying many items.
7. AuctionmyStuff
If you are in the market for antiques, collectibles, and artwork, this is the website for you. You will know the value of the items from the platinum, gold, and silver stickers. There is no charge to list items, but if you sell anything, there is a 10% commission that you are required to pay. Before you can sell items, they must be valued at the sister site, ValueMyStuff.com.
8. Romwe
Like prints? If you’re looking for the best selection of printed clothing, with everything from ice-cream to kittens to The Simpsons decorating your clothes, you can find it here. And, even better, you can get free shipping anywhere in the world, with no minimum purchase.
9. ASOS
This UK based online shopping service has just about any type of clothing item you can think of, and at great prices. Shipping to the US is free, and returns are also free!
10. Style Nanda
Find awesome deals on sporty and fashionable items that are fun and feminine on this Korean website. You can also find 20 or so pictures of different models posing in your choices, so you really get a feel for what everything looks like!
