who is amazon's biggest competitor in the e-commerce space? its a little scary that they seem to have a winner takes all effect and both create their own products, get all data from products sold, invest in companies etc etc. I just worry that they don't have adequare competition to keep them in check...
- berntb 10y agoThey are their own worst enemy. It is getting too hard to buy physical stuff from Amazon and not getting fakes. :-( Right now I have a new type of problem: I have waited for a package (in Romania) for a month, which the German DHL won't deliver. I have contacted the seller every week. Amazon has some "must answer in 3 days" rule for sellers -- but seems to accept auto answering emails as an answer! My claim was cancelled because the sellers promised to deliver, now nothing happens when I complain. (DHL has delivered to me before, worked great. And I work from home these weeks.) It is just ridiculous. This seems to be some criminal that found a hole in the Amazon state machine for orders/sellers/delivery/returns/cancels/etc: Send empty packages with bad addresses and never deliver, after 3 months the sale times out. The only problem is that every time this happens, Amazon lose an old customer.
