only certain products like books

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

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

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

but no amazon

I see

interesting that their book service is priority for i18n expansion

but who am I to question Bezos

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

Oh

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

legally also applies to foreign companies shipping to Switzerland

so the end retailer needs to provide 2 year warranty?

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

yes

that sucks for the retailer

great news for the manufacturer though

and the end user

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

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

might buy that usb 3.0 expresscard

but idk if i could get something else

on that expresscard

I would like to visit Switzerland some time soon @porco

are you a Burger?

is it accommodating to Americans?

I am

@onoderaSecurity such is the /csg/ event horizon

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

you think you're buying a $5 computer peripheral and soon you have a cart filled with $1000 worth of dildos

quiet as in lack of nightlife or literal sound?

lack of night life, evening life and weekend life

shops close at 7pm, don't open on Sundays, many don't even open on Saturdays. A handful of clubs is open after 2 AM

in the biggest city of the country

it's a calm country

this fucking "shops close on weekends" thing had my blood boiling every time I was in germany

you have a billion fucking refugees, make them work at supermarkets!

slave labor is great tbh
