A New Kazakh Experience

Category: Kazakhstan,Personal — ChrisM @ 5:32 pm

We have the honour of being order number 20 for a relatively new start up business over here in Astana, Kazakhstan. Although America and Britain (and by extension, I’d assume the mainland European Continent?) have had supermarket deliveries available for years, this company seems to be the first in this city at least. I’ll not provide a link until we’ve seen the goods arrive (sometime in the next 2 hours) in one piece, with the correct money being charged, but if all goes well, I’m happy to recommend them. I’ve already passed on their details to one friend over here, so I’ll compare experiences to make sure any good/bad points aren’t isolated.

    That is exciting! Let us know how it goes because that would make life so much easier now that I am working like a dog again.

    Will do. Already drafted half the post, as they didn’t have some stuff in stock, and so called us to check which replacements were acceptable.

    Do you fancy dropping the URL/phone number/company name here and how did you find that service in the end ?

    Published the same day, all details can be found here – https://chrismerriman.com/home-delivery-report/

    Basically the site is http://www.zakazdom.kz/ , and the name is Dostavlyika. We’ve not yet tried them for a second time, we’d been hoping Astikzhan’s would be up and running by now, but they are still setting things up.
