Hushburg is an online marketplace based in Chittagong, Bangladesh that has been running since 2018. It combines fixed-price shopping, live Highest Unique Bid auctions, a letter and document printing/postal service, a Digital Photo Studio network, in-app rewards, and seller panels, all inside one app protected by escrow so your money is always safe until your order arrives.
Hushburg is based in Chittagong, Bangladesh. We operate under Trade License No. 120923, issued by Chittagong City Corporation. We have been a registered, licensed business since 2018.
Download the Hushburg app from Google Play (search for Hushburg or find us at package ID com.hushburg.eshop). Open the app and sign up using your Google or Facebook account in one tap. You are ready to browse the store, explore live auctions, send a letter, order photo prints, and collect HBT right away, no lengthy registration needed.
Yes. Hushburg is available to users in 26 countries. Bangladeshi users transact in BDT; users elsewhere can top up their wallet using their own local currency. Physical delivery of products and letters is currently to Bangladeshi addresses only.
Quite a lot. You can shop from verified sellers, join live auctions (including free seat booking with Signature Products) to win products at deep discounts, earn HBT through daily games and tasks, order food from Taste Terminal, send a printed letter or document via Bangladesh Post Office, order prints from the Digital Photo Studio, book digital services, refer friends to earn rewards, or open your own seller panel.
Hushburg covers electronics, mobile phones, groceries, vehicles and vehicle parts, furniture, fashion and clothing, pet supplies, DIY crafts, food (via Taste Terminal), letters and documents, photo prints, and digital services. Sellers can also list almost any product through auction panels, including high-value items up to ৳10,000,000 in value.
Yes, a free account is required to shop or participate in auctions. You can sign up in seconds using your existing Google or Facebook account. There are no complicated forms and no waiting for approval.
Absolutely not. Hushburg auctions are fixed-rule bidding competitions where the outcome is determined entirely by the offers participants choose to place. There is no random selection, no lottery draw, and no independent cash prize.
Downloading the app and creating an account is completely free. Shopping at fixed prices only costs you the product price. Joining an auction requires a small non-refundable seat booking fee, unless you have a qualifying Signature Product, in which case it is free. Sending a letter starts from 30 BDT. HBT is earned for free through daily activity.
The Hushburg platform and support team operate in Bengali and English.
You can reach Hushburg through in-app support, by emailing [email protected], or by sending a message on Facebook at facebook.com/hushburgshop. For urgent matters, WhatsApp is available at +8801559218021.
Hushburg combines live auctions where you can win products for a fraction of market price — with free seat booking via Signature Products — an in-app rewards currency (HBT), escrow protection, a letter and document postal service, and a Digital Photo Studio, all in one app.
Browse or search for products in the Hushburg Store, add items to your cart, and check out. Your payment is held in escrow and only released to the seller after you confirm your order arrived.
Escrow means Hushburg holds your payment securely and only releases it once you confirm your order has arrived. Sellers cannot take your money and disappear, and you are never left paying for an item you never received.
Delivery times depend on the seller and your location within Bangladesh, typically 2-5 business days via Steadfast, Pathao, or Bangladesh Post Office.
Every product listing must clearly state whether the item is brand new or pre-owned, with real product images required.
Yes. Tap the heart icon on any product to add it to your Interest List, which also earns you HBT.
Do not confirm delivery. Raise a dispute through in-app support and Hushburg will investigate and refund you to your wallet if upheld.
Raise a dispute before confirming delivery. Misrepresentation is grounds for a full refund to your Hushburg wallet.
Your Shopping History section shows the current status of every order, with SMS and push notifications on dispatch.
Yes. HBT can be applied as a discount on eligible store purchases.
Yes, verified sellers receive a Blue Tick badge visible on every listing.
Taste Terminal is Hushburg's food ordering section, where local sellers deliver to your registered address.
The Services section includes bookable photo studio sessions, letter and document delivery, and more categories being added regularly, all under the same escrow protection.
Hushburg uses a Highest Unique Bid format. You join a live auction room, book your seat (paid, or free with a qualifying Signature Product), and submit offer amounts called Calls. The participant whose offer is the highest amount that nobody else has also submitted wins the item.
Imagine five people all want to win a phone. Two offer ৳500 — they tie and both are disqualified. A third offers ৳520 and nobody else has — that is the Highest Unique bid.
The seat booking fee is a small one-time charge you pay to enter a live auction room. It is non-refundable. It can also be waived entirely if you check out with a qualifying Hushburg Signature Product in your cart.
From your 2nd Call onward, a Call Security deposit is held based on your offer, fully refundable if your Call does not win.
Highest Unique means you are winning. Dismiss means a tie with another bidder. Cross means you have been overtaken.
No hard limit. More Calls also improve your Player Badge and Hold Timer speed.
Your cooldown between turns, starting at 50 seconds and shrinking to 5 seconds by your 8th Call.
Seat Booking, Hunter, Skilled, Master Hunter and Treasure King, upgrading automatically as you place more Calls.
Open the Auctions tab, pick a product, and tap Book a Seat, either paying the fee or using a qualifying Signature Product for a free seat.
Whoever holds Highest Unique status when the timer hits zero wins. Everyone else's Call Security is refunded within 24-72 hours.
Yes, every offer is visible to all participants in real time with no hidden bids.

Hushburg now lets you book an auction seat for free at checkout, as long as your cart includes a Hushburg Signature Product. Instead of paying a separate seat booking fee, the value of the Signature Product you are already buying covers it.
Add at least one Hushburg Signature Product to your cart alongside anything else you are buying. At checkout, you will see the option to book a free auction seat. Choose an auction from the list whose seat booking fee is equal to or less than the value of the Signature Product in your cart.
Hushburg Signature Products are the platform's own branded items — such as apparel, accessories and everyday goods — sold directly by Hushburg. They are separate from third-party seller listings and are the qualifying products for free auction seat booking.
You can choose any live or upcoming auction whose seat booking fee is equal to or less than the value of the Signature Product in your cart. For example, adding a 200 BDT Signature Product qualifies you for a free seat in any auction with up to a 200 BDT seat fee.
If your Signature Product's value is lower than the seat fee of the auction you want, that specific auction will not be free-bookable with that product. Add a higher-value Signature Product, or simply book the seat by paying the normal fee from the Auctions tab.
Yes. Free seat booking via Signature Products is an additional option, not a requirement. You can always book any seat the normal way by paying the seat booking fee directly from the Auctions tab.
Yes. Free seat booking only waives the initial seat booking fee. From your 2nd Call onward, the same refundable Call Security rules apply exactly as they do for a normally paid seat.

It is a photo printing service inside the Hushburg app. Upload a photo, choose a size, add a frame if you like, and your order is fulfilled by a verified local studio seller for home delivery when one is available in your area.
You can order passport size, stamp size, 3R, 4R, 8R, and 10R prints.

Yes, when a subscribed studio seller is active in your area, your finished prints are delivered directly to your home address.
If no local studio seller currently covers your area, larger framed print orders may not be available for home delivery yet, though basic passport and stamp size orders may still be processed centrally where possible. Availability grows as more studio owners join the panel.
Passport and stamp size orders, being smaller and simpler to fulfil, have broader availability. Check the app at the time of ordering to see current coverage for your area.
Turnaround depends on the local seller's processing time plus standard home delivery within your area; estimated timing is shown at checkout before you confirm your order.
Pricing for passport and stamp size prints is shown in the Digital Photo Studio section of the app and can vary slightly by local studio seller.
