Have you tried Amazon outside of the USA? It sucks. In the UK I've been told it is ok. In Australia, Thailand and China it is not a great experience. In China Tmall is an amazing experience. In their home markets they both seem to be entrenched but globally I'm not sure if either will win.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoWe used Amazon a lot in Beijing and it wasn’t that bad. It was on par with everything else (tmall, jd, ...) that we also used, it wasn’t especially sucky, do you have anything more specific?
- worldexplorer 9y agoDon't know about other countries but Amazon India gives amazing experience. Maybe it is because of cut-throat competition from local players like Flipkart.
- sho 9y ago> In Australia [..] it is not a great experience I am certain that almost all the issues you experienced are due to the chain from the plane to your house - mainly customs, who are the laziest, most incompetent stereotypical govt employee jobsworths you can imagine. I've had tiny camera lenses sitting at Sydney Airport for a week. You call their contact numbers and no-one answers. Clearance times are slow to begin with and spike wildly. They make AusPost look like hyperefficient geniuses. Probably the same for the other countries. In the US, SG and (local store) Japan it's been stellar.
