  • In Turkey only 3.8 days are accepted for the ordering period, in Russia up to 12.4 days!
  • Austria purchases 80% of all orders from abroad, Turkey currently only 18%!
  • Clothes rule the distance selling revenue in China and Germany, Brazil mainly requests consumer electronics and in Turkey groceries are ordered the most!
