same with Japan, unfortunately. Furniture is crazy expensive in stores here.

Gonna go against the grain and say Amazon is still good value on a lot of things in Australia and cheaper then going into a physical store.
Which is more an indictment of how badly we've been getting fucked over on pricing here all our lives.

If it’s handmade hardwood Japanese joinery furniture than it’s worth every penny, it’ll outlast you and you’ll hand that down to your kin.

Yea, Amazon is still a decent value in America too, frankly I just don’t understand where people are getting these comparisons from.
Sometimes Walmart is cheaper, sometimes Amazon is cheaper, a lot of the times they’re neck and neck, but I don’t have to step into a Walmart with Amazon so that’s a huge plus for me lmao and a lot of the items are same day or next day

You don’t want to wait in a self checkout lane for forty minutes to buy a single extension cord?!

Or you could buy an extension cord from such brands as HUANCHAIN, Mifaso, YISHU, POWRUI or Addtam and maybe it will ship in 4 to 5 days

Because it depends a lot on where you live.

In Canada, at least in a city, it’s rare that I can’t find things for the same price or cheaper in local stores. Amazon comes in handy for harder to find items though I’ve been using Aliexpress more for those items lately.
