Which marketplaces and online shops work in Georgia?
Local platforms, foreign stores and Russian marketplaces.
Short answer
Local platforms such as Extra, Veli and Mymarket are popular in Georgia, as are orders from foreign stores like AliExpress, Temu and Amazon via parcel forwarding services. Russian marketplaces mostly don't deliver directly to Georgia; intermediary services bring orders in via Vladikavkaz. Parcels worth up to 300 GEL can be received duty-free.
Why
- Forwarding services give you a warehouse address abroad and bring your order to Georgia.
- Local platforms deliver quickly in Tbilisi and Batumi, often next day.
- Above the 300 GEL limit, 18% VAT is payable on import.
Details
When buying through intermediaries, check the final price including delivery and commission, which can be significant. For large appliances, compare prices in Georgian electronics stores.
Tip
When ordering from abroad, write your address in Latin letters and add a Georgian phone number so the courier can find you.
What may differ
Expensive orders from abroad may incur customs duty, and the threshold and rules change from time to time.
