> Amazon is one of the worst e-commerce platforms (at least here in Germany) - damaged boxes, damaged items, items taking forever to ship, having to deal with rude delivery people just to name a few.

I lived in Luxembourg for 4 years, which you have to order through amazon.de and is fulfilled by amazon.de, and I've never had any of the issues you describe. And that's with an average of 120 orders per year.

Just because you aren't running into problems doesn’t mean the platform is perfect; it might simply mean your standards are lower.

Use some logic before attacking: Luxembourg is only the size of Saarland (German state). Fewer orders and fewer deliveries naturally mean fewer problems.

> Fewer orders and fewer deliveries naturally mean fewer problems.

How about you read before attacking? I said it's pooled with all german orders.

A bit further south, here...never had a problem apart from reconciling the moral side of things. But, on Tuesday i had to order off am as no local store would price match. Item arrived friday. I was in one of the stores just a few mins ago...they now have the amazon price showing. I let stores know they mess up, so an email will be sent to $tore. As for rude delivery - have stuff dellivered to a drop-off point. Mine is my local newsagent. Very slim chance of them ever being rude.
