… Amazon … in Sweden since they’re particularly garbage and don’t really offer anything of value.

I don’t know if Amazon is uniquely crap here in Sweden or if they’re the same everywhere - if the latter, I wonder how they grew to such a size because they are shadier than AliExpress and Wish.

When they launched, they used the Argentinian flag to represent Sweden. Three horizontal stripes, light blue, with a white middle stripe that has a smiling sun on it. The Swedish flag is an off-blue with a yellow cross. Sweden starts with an S, Argentina starts with an A. I’ve legit no idea how they did this mix-up.

All the products are machine translated. I’ve seen cookware with 300 metre long cables and the ability to send internal emails. I’ve seen curtains depicting people frolicking in sexual assault. Tents that make for great gifts for a prostitute, grandchild, or little sister. Sluts for your yard. Spotlights for indoors commercial sexual intercourse. Lots of fucking-* products, fucking egg productions, fucking vacationdogs, fucking spoons, fucking mushrooms, fucking penis curry, fucking bovine poop in red wine sauce.

Needless to say, I do not have Amazon prime, nor do I buy anything from Amazon when we have much better and more reliable local alternatives that I know conform to Swedish and European regulation and legislation, and will have my back should whatever I buy end up being faulty. I can’t say the same for Amazon.
