I find galaxus.com (European store) far better than any other store, American or otherwise.

- 7 day (or even longer) delivery time

- only free shipping >€50

- much more limited selection of items

- can't say much about their return / warranty process but I doubt it's as lenient as Amazon's

Pretty much the opposite of "far better".

That assessment highly depends on your region I assume. They are far from 7 day shipping for me. In fact, it's the same 2-3 days as Amazon for non-Prime customers here. Speaking of non-Prime, free shipping is also at 50€.

The limited selection is certainly true but mainly it misses drop shipping stuff and what's essentially a mirror of aliexpress with a huge markup. I don't really miss those. In fact, it requires a considerable amount of time to navigate through those offers on Amazon, so not having them is a plus in my book.

Thank you - never heard of galaxus.com before, but it is fantastic ! So much more high-quality than the Temu-cheap-shit-reselling storefront that Amazon is nowadays.
Me, too. I love that they have tables with return and warranty percentages so you can see which products other people kept and which products only keep breaking.
