Often I comparison shop between aliexpress.com and amazon.de. When the "brand" or equivalent quality product is on both, AliExpress is almost always cheaper, sometimes up to 50%. I would say on average 25% less and with free shipping even for small orders.
- tpm 8y agoYes, but the prices on aliexpress don't include European warranty, customs and VAT.
- akvadrako 8y agoSure but who needs those?
- mantas 8y agoThose who pave streets you walk on and fine you when you're speeding... So uh... How about Aliexpress?
- akvadrako 8y agoI think this is valid point in general, but I don't think it has much bearing on a discussion about Amazon, which doesn't contribute very much to taxes.
- mantas 8y agoThey pay VAT and custom duties as much as anybody else. They probably skim on employee-related and profit taxes though.
- tpm 8y agoYou may not need them, but often enough you will have to pay the duty and VAT before the customs release your package, thus erasing the price difference. As for the warranty, customers usually do need it.
