Ruyte or the brand's own website: where should you buy Pakistani fashion?
Ruyte is a marketplace, so most pieces on it also exist on the brand's own website. Both are legitimate ways to buy. This page sets out the real differences so you can choose, including when buying direct is the better choice.
| Buying on Ruyte | Buying on the brand's website | |
|---|---|---|
| Range | Pieces from many verified Pakistani and South Asian brands in one place. | The brand's complete range, including items it has not listed on Ruyte. |
| Checkout | One checkout for several brands. Each brand ships its own parcel, so a mixed order arrives in separate parcels. | One brand per checkout. |
| Delivery countries | Pakistan, Canada, the USA, the UK, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Australia, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain, with the estimate shown at checkout. | Whatever countries that brand has set up. Some ship only inside Pakistan. |
| Payment | Credit and debit cards worldwide; JazzCash and, on eligible orders, cash on delivery in Pakistan. | Whatever that brand offers. |
| Prices | Set by the brand and shown in PKR, CAD, USD, GBP, SAR or AED, with the exact charge shown before you pay. | Set by the brand. Sales and discount codes on the brand's site may not apply on Ruyte, and the reverse is also true. |
| Returns and exchanges | One written policy for eligible new items, with a standard request window and protection for wrong or damaged items. | The brand's own policy, which can be stricter or more generous. |
| Support | Ruyte support handles order problems across brands: info@ruyte.com. | The brand's own support team. |
When Ruyte is the better choice
When you want pieces from several Pakistani brands in one order, when you are outside Pakistan and want tracked delivery with the exact charge shown up front, when you want to pay with a card or JazzCash, or when you want one place to ask for help with an order.
When buying direct may be better
When the piece you want is not listed on Ruyte, when the brand is running a sale or discount code that only applies on its own website, or when you want to speak to the brand about a custom size or fabric.
