A proliferation of technology coupled with globalization has meant that online shopping is growing in Nepal. The increasing number of e-commerce sites and banks providing such services are testaments to this. With the telecommunication service providers competing for spreading their service and with banks eager to increase their consumer base, Nepal is seeing an increasing trend in online shopping that is equal to the facilities provided in developed countries around the world.
People see something advertised, they like it, they can buy it. Gone are the days when products released abroad would take a long time to reach to the country. Other thanks to globalization go to the fact that Nepal does not have to go through all the evolutionary steps that the Western countries had to go through before the facilities of today are possible. Online Shopping Websites can choose the best from the options used by their foreign counterparts and incorporate those to help shopping easier for their users or consumers.
With the online shopping, not only are the goods able to be delivered within the country, but most of the service providers also boast of service that sees the products delivered outside Nepal as well. This second group of items is domestic products, with books serving as prime examples. On the long run, it will help foster the domestic goods sales in the foreign market as well thus easing the pressure on Nepalese economy. Now, quality products can be easily purchased and obtained as soon as they are released in the world market.
Facilities like swift delivery, tracking the purchases and trusted payment system help the users get the experience of shopping that can be compared to that of other parts of the world. Customer Support and free shipping are some of the added facilities are offered to the users in order to retain them; after all, in the highly competitive market that is turning out to be, it is small details like these that set competitors apart.https://www.google.com/afs/ads/i/iframe.html#slave-1-1
But the problem of Nepal is that the scope of services is limited to Kathmandu valley and recently to a few main cities. It is no surprise, for example, that goods will not be delivered to far-reaching places. The problem rests with the way infrastructures are not in place in all parts of the country. While not most part of the country has good access to electricity, let alone well-functioning telecommunications system, coupled with the banking system that is yet to reach every part, much needs to be done to see a time when the whole country is connected and transacts electronically. The problem with the road access is even serious as the users in the parts distant from the main hubs, despite telecommunications access will not be delivered the goods in time even if they are delivered those at all.
However, with the development practice seen, there are reasons to be optimistic. After all, with proper transportation network, all service providers must be eager to expand their business outreach.
