2020: 6
2019: 4
2018: 1
2017: 0
2016: 2
2015: 8
2014: 3
2013: 14
2012: 12
If I lived in US/UK/DE/IT or wherever they do have warehouses the numbers would probably look different.
- mrweasel 6y agoGetting stuff shipped from Germany or the UK takes for even, and packages from amazon.co.uk frequently goes missing. Shipping cost are reasonable, given that it’s across borders, but you can get it cheaper by buying “locally”. I’m down to just buying books on Amazon, because no one else really sells books anymore, at least not the books I want. For everything else there are better and cheaper local webshops. Amazon is a mess, you can’t easily find what you want, filtering sucks and 25% of the stuff you want doesn’t ship to your country anyway. Oh, and they treat their warehouse staff terribly, so I minimize what I buy from Amazon.
