because you waste money on chink shit on amazon

2017-11-06 21:32:44 UTC  

because its still cheaper from the chinks and you dont pay shipping

2017-11-06 21:33:15 UTC  

I don't pay shipping via Prime either, and it comes in 2 days

2017-11-06 21:33:24 UTC  

>prime

2017-11-06 21:33:26 UTC  

which was my rationale for ordering small ticket items from there

2017-11-06 21:33:27 UTC  

ok you are rich

2017-11-06 21:33:31 UTC  

xD

2017-11-06 21:33:39 UTC  

>tfw Amazon doesn't ship to your country

2017-11-06 21:33:45 UTC  

are you AUS?

2017-11-06 21:33:53 UTC  

Switzerland

2017-11-06 21:34:04 UTC  

you really don't have Amazon shipping service there? I'm surprised

2017-11-06 21:34:16 UTC  

That's unfortunate

2017-11-06 21:34:18 UTC  

only certain products like books

2017-11-06 21:34:35 UTC  

books ship, 99% of the other things doesn't

2017-11-06 21:34:49 UTC  

some exceptions for products were shipping is not handled by Amazon itself

2017-11-06 21:35:37 UTC  

we have two big online shopping websites here. www.siropp.ch which is full of third party vendors and www.galaxus.ch which is managed by one company only

2017-11-06 21:35:42 UTC  

but no amazon

2017-11-06 21:36:02 UTC  

I see

2017-11-06 21:36:13 UTC  

interesting that their book service is priority for i18n expansion

2017-11-06 21:36:37 UTC  

but who am I to question Bezos

2017-11-06 21:36:55 UTC  

it's not that, it's the legal situation in Switzerland

2017-11-06 21:37:02 UTC  

Oh

2017-11-06 21:37:26 UTC  

you are obligated to offer a 2 year warranty on every sold item as a seller, regardless of the manufacturer warranty

2017-11-06 21:37:44 UTC  

legally also applies to foreign companies shipping to Switzerland

2017-11-06 21:38:30 UTC  

so the end retailer needs to provide 2 year warranty?

2017-11-06 21:38:37 UTC  

So theoretically also to Ali. Practically not enforceable of course. For Amazon which also acts in the EU, it would be more enforceable

2017-11-06 21:38:38 UTC  

yes

2017-11-06 21:38:46 UTC  

that sucks for the retailer

2017-11-06 21:38:52 UTC  

great news for the manufacturer though

2017-11-06 21:38:56 UTC  

and the end user

2017-11-06 21:39:42 UTC  

one down side is that everything is overpriced, one up side is that you will mostly only find high quality selected products in shops which will actually last a while

2017-11-06 21:41:27 UTC  

damn, wanted to buy a 4 pole female to headphone/mic male and now im just looking for chinese shit to buy

2017-11-06 21:41:33 UTC

2017-11-06 21:41:38 UTC  

but idk if i could get something else

2017-11-06 21:41:42 UTC

2017-11-06 21:42:06 UTC  

I would like to visit Switzerland some time soon @porco

2017-11-06 21:42:16 UTC  

are you a Burger?

2017-11-06 21:42:24 UTC

2017-11-06 21:42:25 UTC

2017-11-06 21:42:55 UTC  

@onoderaSecurity such is the /csg/ event horizon

2017-11-06 21:43:08 UTC  

I work for a US company in Zurich and half of my coworkers are American. They like it here but they usually complain about that it's a little too quiet
