I am a minority but I never fully jumped on Amazon bandwagon. Compared to US, here in Switzerland they simply don't exist. Sending here from ie french or german site adds a massive postage fee on top of delay, and most of the times custom fee, so price skyrockets. Plus having warranty elsewhere ain't worth it in times when tons of stuff breaks quickly. One good thing that french amazon has - they can deliver to a network of 'post boxes' or compatible small shops to pick up the item usually within a week. That's basically about it, things ain't cheaper, and when ordering from china I don't have that doubt about quality - it is normally on the level of payment. These days, aliexpress and similar fill the needs.
