Ozone is one of the most popular online stores in Russia. It has a variety of payment and delivery methods, a flexible discount system and a wide range of products from paper clips to large household appliances... That is why each customer will be able to place an order on the most favorable terms for themselves.

When entering the site, if the system has not done it on its own, you must immediately indicate your locality. This can be done at the top of the page, while under the name of the city there will be brief information about the nearest delivery time by courier and the number of pick-up points (if any).
To register on Ozone, you need:
- At the top right, click on the "Login" button;

How to shop
During virtual shopping, the products you like can be left for comparison, or you can immediately move them to the basket. How to buy on Ozone:

In addition to the standard deletion option, the cart provides the option to postpone items and buy them later. The postponed goods are moved to a separate "folder".
If the customer first wants to compare several products, then the items sent for comparison will be stored in the next tab with the basket. Ozone automatically sorts products according to their belonging and generates tables in which the characteristics of the objects will be entered. For example, when comparing several sets of bedding, such a table will indicate the material, size, number of pillowcases, etc. The user will be able to visually look at all the parameters and choose the one that suits him best.

The desire to save money when buying any product does not cool down. That is why we have prepared some tips on how to save money in the first online hypermarket in Russia OZON.
Trick # 1 - Infinite Birthday Discount
It's no secret that many online stores offer discounts ranging from 5% before 10% for a certain period on a birthday. Typically, this is 5 days before and 5 days after. We wrote about this in one of our articles "".
After that, in the "Date of birth" field, put tomorrow's number and wait five minutes.
And we see confirmation of our discount for next year.
Then we go back to "Change registration data" and set today's date. Thus, we receive an additional discount 10% for ten days today.
And all prices are now displayed with a discount! Like this:
Important: you can use this method an infinite number of times. Checked for yourself! But if suddenly you do not succeed, then play with the dates - put yesterday, the day before yesterday. Everything will be "ok" for sure!
Trick # 2 - 10% endless discount
There is one more trick, which, of course, is not as convenient as the first one. But nevertheless, she, too, should pay her attention.
This is a discount 10% by code words. Sometimes it happens and 20% as it was recently! By the way, now you can place an order for an amount from 2000 rubles and receive as a gift silver pendant coupon... The promotion is valid until April 14, 2013.
Back to our trick # 2! You just create a new account every time, buy a book for 15 rubles, for example, "Crime and Punishment".
Oh, and tricky this online store "Ozone" or how to buy (order) books on the Internet. This is the second time I order a stack of books in Ozone and I ran into something. I placed an order, paid for it using WebMoney money. Since some books had to arrive at the warehouse only after a couple of weeks, I had time to cancel the order, which I used. I found a book on Ozone that I wanted to have in my collection for a long time, and since it was impossible to add a product to an already paid order, I canceled it. At the same time, my money paid for books did not disappear anywhere, but ended up on a user account (where should they go, because in front of you the honest and most popular internet shop in Russia). Then he proceeded to place a new order with the same books as before + the desired book. At this time, an action was carried out in ozone (4th book per ruble). I was happy about that. I realized that I had done the right thing, that I had canceled the order. When I was typing books, I noticed that their price went up a little. They cost more by 10, 20, 30 rubles. It can be seen that everything is not so simple and no shares are simply held at a loss. That's why I called the Ozone online store tricky.
In general, this is a good promotion, despite the fact that books have become a little more expensive. As a result, I ordered 3 more books for the same money (a little over 4 thousand rubles) + one book of better quality (and it is 200 rubles more expensive than the previous one). I also found one drawback that can be encountered after canceling an order - I did not find one book, since it was already sold out.
I like to order books in Ozone. Pros:
1. For the previous order, points are awarded that can be spent on new purchases. Since the last order in the amount of just over 3 thousand rubles, I had 300 points, which are equivalent to 300 rubles. I used them when placing a new order. The only drawback is that these points can expire if you do not place a new order (that is, they tie you to ozone so that you order something in it every month). (The information from the first point is no longer relevant - this is no longer on Ozone).
2. Also a plus in the promotions that are constantly held in Ozone, even though the prices for the products go up a little. And when some kind of promotion takes place, it is more desirable to order the quantity of products that is a multiple of the number required for the discount. For example, the 4th book for the ruble. If you order 5 books in this case, then one book will cost 1 ruble (this is how much the cheapest book will cost), and one book simply will not participate in the promotion. It is better to order 4 books, 8 books, 12 books and their other number, which is a multiple of 4.
3. Shipping may be free. For example, delivery from ozone to my house by mail is free if I order an item worth over 1,600 rubles (as of September 7, 2013, this is the price) and pay immediately (this is called an advance payment).
4. You can pay with electronic money. To pay for goods using ozone, I use payment system webmoney.
5. Books are cheaper than in bookstores. I have compared the cost of some of the books. I even found those that were cheaper by 200, 300 and even 500 rubles.
In general, there are very significant advantages to order (buy) books in the Ozone online store.
How to buy (order) books on the Internet?
1. Find the necessary online store. I recommend using Ozone. Although, if you do not find the book you are looking for, you can search in other online stores. For example, in labirint.ru, kniga.ru, read.ru and others. To find the store you need, you can type the name of the book in Yandex or Google search and write buy or order next to it.
2. Put the books you want in the trash can. You can pre-register in the online store, but although you later, when placing an order from the basket, may be prompted to register. I advise you to register with the online store where you buy books. This must be done in order to receive bonuses, participate in promotions and other useful things that they can offer you.
3. Place an order and pay for it. Make an advance payment immediately if you trust the online store. So in Ozone, I was immediately sure and already made an advance payment in the first order. You can order books by cash on delivery. This is, for example, when a product arrives at the post office and you pay for it there.
4. Wait a while until the books get to your place of residence, and then you get them in your hands. You will have to go to the post office if you ordered mail delivery. And if the delivery is carried out by a courier, then you will receive the books without leaving your home or office.
Everything is really simple. We found an online store, added books to the cart, placed an order, paid, and received the goods.
Ordering something from online stores is always not as easy as it seems. You need to sit down, figure it out, read, study the entire site, the entire range, compare prices, learn about delivery, about the cost of delivery, about payment methods. All in all, it is necessary to be rather robust. And how good it is when there is an instruction on how to order.
In this review, I want to tell you a few things:
I chose this site to order books because the price was the most suitable, although there are many other interesting things on the site. After that I looked at the assortment and I can say that this is a very interesting service. Here they sell some things for the house, and clothes and a bunch of all sorts of nonsense that we all love to buy)) They sell books and stationery here - I can't live without it. And finally, cosmetics are sold here, and there are a lot of cool cosmetics, natural or branded.
I made screenshots so that you can clearly see the process. I will only show the essence - with the rest you can figure it out, because I figured it out. And this is really much easier than ordering on ebay.
First - register , we confirm our e-mail, everything is as usual. This happens very quickly.
Next, we go to select products. On the left is a directory. Everything is very clear, you can see the same pay attention to discounts and promotions!
Then you will receive letters with new promotions.
If you scroll down the page - then there will be all useful information for us. Answers to questions, delivery, payment. Everything is written very simply and clearly. You could have done it even without me!
Delivery. Let's figure it out. There are so many ways. Via mail, points of issue, points-partners, courier and so on.
You need to choose yours. I chose the very first item for myself (it is highlighted in blue on the screen), because it came out the cheapest way. It's easier to come to the pick-up point yourself and pick up your order.
We go to the points of issue and, using the example of the city of Yaroslavl, we see that there are as many as 18 of them - you can see all addresses, opening hours and location ... Convenient, after all!
You can choose the item that is closer to your home!
BUT! There is a trick here.
Is the delivery paid. But depending on the amount of your order, the price for delivery changes. For example, in the city of Yaroslavl such limits:
It can be seen that when ordering from 500 rubles, delivery will already cost 99 rubles: That is, it is more profitable for you to order for a large amount.
Delivery to my city was much lower when ordering from 2000 rubles. Moreover, the difference was VERY significant, almost 500 rubles. Pay attention to this!
Payment Methods:
And you can pay here different ways. And there are a lot of ways.
I liked several at once: here you can spend bonuses Thank you from Sberbank (that is, in fact, make free shopping ), you will only need to pay 1 ruble, and the rest can be written off with bonuses, and you will also receive increased bonuses from purchases ... It's comfortable. But be careful - the service accepts only international cards.
You can pay through various electronic systems - including WebMoney and Yandex.Money.
There is also an option with webmoney, that is money from Ayrek can be spent on goods on Ozone - and this includes equipment, books, stationery, cool cosmetics, and much more!
Impressions from the Ozon service:
The impressions are positive.
- The delivery turned out to be faster declared, expected 10 days of delivery time, and delivered in about a week.
