Amazon as a retailer in non-US countries

[Isaac]

Not to change the subject, but - I"m wondering if people in other countries routinely use AMAZON for buying stuff - and how much do you use it?

Here in the USA it has become a staple such to the extent that my sister in law, if she so much as runs out of paper towels, she's more likely to order it same-day delivered from Amazon than make a trip to the grocery store. They also recently started doing groceries and prescription medications.

We use it constantly - sometimes just to 'try' stuff, as their return policies are extremely liberal - free returns, free postage, instant refunds, etc.

Is it to that extent in other countries or not at all or in between?

I’m in the UK and used to use Amazon but now use other platforms such as eBay.

Number of reasons, primarily price and a lousy search engine when looking for something specific.

I also find their search to be a bit lacking. It seems to mostly just return to you promoted items of their choice - which fortunately a lot of the time I find what I want, but it's not the best
