Desi shopping online

ahmadjee · Oct 21st, 2003, 09:23 AM

Has anyone used the online sites? Please give us the URL and your review of their service & product.

For example, if you sent someone some flowers, mithayee, cake, was the service on time, were they delivered in a presentable fashion etc.

I used pakgulistan.com few weeks back and was very pleased with thier service.

I placed the order couple of days before the delivery date and they delivered the cake and flowers within 15 minutes of the time I asked them to.

Edit: And the quality and presentation of the product was good too.

I have used http://lahorearcade.com couple of times and great and timely and good price though its only for Lahore.

This topic keeps coming back so I'll make it a sticky. Espacially as eid is coming.

What are the best sites to buy desi stuff? Including clothes and books. Also for sending gifts to Pakistan.

Can you guys list and review any/all that you know. How was your experience with them etc.

I have used tahoora.com to send mithai to ppl all over US. the quality of the product is great and the service is exceptional as well. In one order their was an assortment of mithai and they put the wrong gulaab jamun, although it was not a big deal but when i told them they immediately sent out not just the right gulab jamun but more extra mithai to make up for their error.

www.tahoora.com

btw their pateesa and mango burfi is just amazing.

I didnt had a very nice experience with tahoora.. the sweets I sent were not only mashed up but also seemed old and wewre not edible at all.. and when I called their customer service was worse..

don't they have any online services for canada, seems like we got a lot of services for US but doesn't seem to have any reliable service or source of mithaees for canada.

Dang! These pakgulistan.com guys are expensive for some of the stuff. Who would want to pay $12.99 for a big mac meal with large soda?

I sent a bunch of roses and a cake for my wife´s birthday last year (back then she was my fiancee) with pakgulistan.com

And everything was perfect.

Although I admit, that it´s really expensive.

Hi all,
Is there any online shop from where I can buy latest electronic items? which ship the item to me and deals with all the custom duties etc...

GummyBear · Nov 8th, 2004, 10:54 AM

I have used www.tohfay.com a few times, with really great results.. They have excellent products and even better service. They deliver all over Pakistan.... I dont know if they deliver in the US.... but they have mithai, cakes, flowers, and all sorts of other stuff... check it out...

AOA,

i'm in upstate new york area and since there r too many pakistanis i personally know 2 women into this business. they sell dresses from home, like they don't have a store/shop......but the prices r very resonable, even i bought some. the range is $30 for lenin/lawn dress and u can get really good embroided trouser/ shalwar suits around $50.....

if anybody is really interested i can give her contact no.

AH
