Ozon opens representative office and sorting center in Armenia

MOSCOW. July 25 (Interfax) - Ozon Marketplace has opened a representative office and sorting center in Yerevan.

Armenia has become the fourth CIS country where Ozon is localizing its business, following Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, the company said in a press release. The company is also developing its business in Turkey and China.

The sorting center in Yerevan occupies 2,000 sq. m., and will ensure orders are received, processed, assembled and packaged for delivery, as well as process returns.

"The opening of the sorting center will make it easier for local entrepreneurs to enter the Russian market," Ozon said.

Delivery from Armenia to Russia will be done by Ozon itself if the seller chooses to deliver goods from the Ozon sorting center, or via CDEK if the seller wants to deliver them independently.

The average delivery time is 5-8 days. In the future, Ozon plans to develop its own network of outlets in Armenia for receiving and placing orders.

In July 2023, Ozon began offering residents of Armenia the opportunity to place orders from Russia. Delivery time for orders is around 7 days.
