Hello,

I'm having a problem with placing an order online from Şok. Everytime I try to place the order, it says something went wrong. Any idea why?

@Fedy23 Amazon Turkey is great, we had some orders delivered, a shame they have no REAL spicy items (such as Blair), but so far so good (a bit)

Thank you for your reply.

As I leave in a very expensive area of Antalya and the shops are far from my hone, I was hoping to shop once at week for my grocery online.

I tried şok and they don't deliver to my area. A101 has got very few things available online..lastly Migros is expensive.

Not sure how to solve the grocery issue. At present we are heading out almost everyday to buy few items at the time due to be without a car.

I live in Mahmutlar, everything is close, but not all products are avalable.

MMM Migros 450 meter, A 101 50 m, a few BIM within 250 m, COOP, ... essentiially good, just the special products not available. A lot of promotion of Metro, but my wife was not impressed.

Loads of restaurants are close as well.

@Fedy23 I have discovered that if you try to shop on a site that has been translated, this error occurs.

I get around it by viewing the page whilst translated then change to Turkish before clicking add to basket then changing back to English to confirm I have purchased the correct item and to continue shopping using the same proceed each time. The same applies on the checkout page, revert back to Turkish before attempting to checkout.

I have had to use this process on Trendyol and Yemeksepeti, I have not used the SOK app.

I use my laptop to shop online where this is easy in Chrome or Edge, not sure how well it works on a phone.

Good to know. I'll try it and hopefully it will work with şok too.

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
