  That’s usually how it is in America too. Amazon started charging $1 if you took it to a courier office instead of a Whole Foods (Amazon-owned grocery store chain) if the Whole Foods was closer to you.

    The thought of Amazon selling food too creeps me out so bad.

      It’s just a regular grocery store, albeit a rather expensive one. They give discounts for Prime members. In the back, there is an area where workers accept Amazon returns and you can also pick up orders there in the odd chance you would ever do that instead of having it delivered to your home at no extra cost…?

        One reason you’d get something delivered to an Amazon locker or work or whole foods is if your home or apartment doesn’t have a secure mail room.

        Just the idea of a corporation growing to that size gives me the ickies. It’s just one step closer to a corporate town. I’m sure the service is great for now.

        Thankfully Amazon hasn’t really managed to settle properly where I’m from. They’re great for weird niche products, but they’re not your go-to for most things.

      Whole Paycheck Foods existed before Amazon (I’m fairly sure).

      Honesty I didn’t realize Amazon had acquired them.

        Yeah they were big before Amazon bought them. It was a huge investment to try to get into grocery

        That makes sense. Why establish something new when you can just buy it.

    Aldrig köpt från dessa butiker. Om du har köpt i butik så antar jag att retur sker i butik. Annars skulle jag tro att de står för returen. Kolla med kundtjänst.
