   I will like it and I also recommend others to follow this platform. But there is no direct relationship with customers, high operating costs and no control over the refund policy

   🏁 Competitors: eBay

   👍 Pros:    Best customer support|best ui experience|easy to order and tracking

   Nice shopping experience with Amazon

   Amazon has best shopping experience with us. Everything in this platform is very nice. It provides best shopping experience in India, has provides biggest selections of products, books, software reach and shows best movies, latest podcasts music and everything is nice for us. I like Amazon and also refer others to follow that platform. But there is no direct customer relationship, has high operations cost and there is no control over return policies.

   🏁 Competitors: Flipkart, Myntra, Alibaba, eBay

   👍 Pros:    Best online shopping app in india|Best customer support|Best ui experience|Easy to order and tracking

   👎 Cons:    No control over return policies|No direct customer relationship|High operation costs|No opportunity for branding

• Need a good decaf and regular tea in the US?

  The voltage of mains electricity in the USA is half that of the UK, which effectively caps the power of appliances (at least those not plugged into a separate high voltage circuit). Search for fast boil kettles on amazon.co.uk and you'll get a range of 3000W options to choose from, search for the same on amazon.com and you'll return 1500W results. Source: 5 months ago

• Where are the best/cheapest places to shop?

  I do amazon.com and .ca (I mostly only buy if it's shipped & sold by amazon or atmost shipped by so I can track/refund easier) as well as hlj but shipping and handling usually ends up costing more than the kits I'm buying lol... Source: 5 months ago

• What the Google overlords don't want you to see

  I mean, if you try to search for something simple like "buy flashlight", you get like 15 amazon.com results on the first page. So if you're trying to find a quality product from a company that specializes in making just that particular thing, so you can avoid all the Chinese sellers on amazon, you sometimes can't. Ever since I've learned about how shitty the work conditions were at amazon, I have tried to avoid... Source: 5 months ago

• Where to buy German-language books in USA

  Also check kindle unlimited for German titles. If they are KU in Germany they usually are as well in the US. You use your US account on amazon.com to then read german literature. If the genre you are interested in has a category, scroll down the sidebar, you might see german as well. Source: 5 months ago

• Safari Displaying Website Incorrectly. How to Fix It?

  A really bizarre thing happened to me yesterday. Safari stopped loading gumroad's product editor. The website works correctly, however whenever I try to edit product it only displays background color and a horizontal line. It's been working for months without any issues until yesterday. I haven't changed anything about my setup (MBP16 2021 Monterey 12.2.1, Safari 15.3) both software and hardware wise. I've tried... Source: 8 months ago
