honestly i don't care about website design at all, I just go to heureka, find which shop had lowest price with shipping and is well established and then just click buy after redirecting, can't imagine looking for something directly on particular website and be loyal to some shop and not to my wallet, only reason I'm willing to pay slightly more for Softcom or Datart is they are next to my home so no need shipping and can use easy return/RMA, but if price difference is more than cost of return shipping, them I just choose cheapest (non shady) option (and for the record I almost never buy from CZC and especially Alza, which is like the most expensive shop among the big ones)

Heureka/Toppreise/... is nice if you know which model you want exactly and you are looking for the lowest price with shipping. But if you're for example searching for a new laptop or dishwasher, having a website with a clean interface, fast response times, good filters, and consistent item classification/description is priceless. And that is exactly what galaxus/digitec is.

(It doesn't hurt that they also very often have close to the lowest price in Switzerland, or only a few CHF more than the absolute lowest, which often made it worth it for me just to have "most of my orders in one place" and know that I will have a good RMA experience if it comes to that.)
