I’m not sure what point you’re making. How is that issue related to labor in Europe? Amazon US is all white-label Aliexpress stuff too, but the minimum wage here is literally $7.25 an hour, many states have zero sales tax, and there’s no VAT.
- moffkalast 4y agoEven if you're selling the same item you need to pay local rates for importing, handling, stock storage, etc. which are highly dependant on labour prices and real estate costs. As such if you're trying to sell to anyone who's not in the same purchasing power range or higher (aka literally nobody when it comes to Switzerland) you'll run into problems as you can't compete with vendors operating at lower costs in those countries. It's just basic arithmetic. That's what makes Switzerland one of the worst places one could manufacture and/or stock things and China one of the best. Exploitation of the poor is the optimal business choice, after all it's the very foundation upon which capitalism itself is built.
