    Depends on what I need. Here in Germany, we have a bunch of electronics stores where you can get the same products for pretty much the same prices. Apart from that, I order from manufacturers’ websites directly, buy second-hand and refurbished, local stores if needed

      Well, go on flaunting your “customer rights enshrined in law”, and “semi effective antitrust policies”. Here in the USA we like our monopolies and the complete deregulation of customer relations, thank you very much.

      You can go to a small shop, but if the delivery service breaks your stuff and they have a crappy return policy, tough luck. Combined with unchecked monopolistic actions, that’s why Amazon reigns supreme.
