ugo@feddit.it 3 weeks agolittle choice for amazon the logistic company
Depends on where you live. Here in Germany we have a few alternatives, like “Otto” and a few others with specialisations like electronics. Some of them have a marketplace just like Amazon and they even offer the same cheap chinese crap that Amazon has to offer. So you could feel right at home.
Can use a website like idealo to search multiple stores at once. I just wish they had a filter to block amazon results.

The game console, made by Sony, who famously keeps trying to fuck everyone else over?
All game console companies famously keep trying to fuck everyone else over. Sony actually comes off fairly well compared to Nintendo and Microsoft.
Sony shipped literal rootkits with their software years ago.
Yes. Twenty years ago. Now take a look at what Nintendo and Microsoft have been doing just within the past couple of years (as well as what they were doing twenty years ago and beyond, since they both have long track records of shitty behaviour.)
Jeez, guys… You’re a paleontologist or what? That happened centuries ago.
Amazon is barely a thing here in Sweden. It’s niche drop shipped garbage for the most part, very similar to Wish and the like.
They have some non-garbage stuff at the same price you find elsewhere.
Yeah they pulled out of QC so if I wasn’t so close to Ontario they’d be completely useless for me in canada too. Not that I haven’t avoided them for big purchases like computer stuff already, gonna have to look what general marketplaces we have otherwise lol
Tbh I just duckduckgo the company and product if I find it in Amazon and order directly
Little choice?
Thank you for this!
I’ve heard good things about lineage OS for android and maybe apple phones but I haven’t got around to using it
All the alternative businesses to Amazon suck. And also probably advertise on Amazon as drop shippers anyway.
Yeah, switched to a different company for kitchen stuff, bought it on their site and everything, felt good about it.
Delivery day comes, guess who delivered the package? Amazon. So that was great.

Amazon - the logistics company - is just a front end for (and leech on) various drop shippers, lately, anyway.
Amazon used to carry quality guarantees, and have meaningful reviews, but lately the wild West crapshoot of the rest of the web is just as good.

Aren’t drop shippers finished with the recent tariffs, especially closing the loophole of de minimis?

For you guys. Amazon canada will still be infested with them, for instance. Also that’s assuming the dropshippers don’t just reroute their stuff to whoever has the lowest tariffs before delivering it here, like how lindt is moving all it’s delivery back into Europe so that they can go around the US to deliver to places like Canada.
