   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

  Are you using you using your regions version of amazon? Check amazon.com its almost always cheaper and right now I can get the card delivered to new Zealand for 232 euros. 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: 6 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

• Any URL/Website hoarders?

  I find Pocket useful for: https://getpocket.com/en/. Source: almost 1 year ago

• How to deal with 30,000+ bookmarks? Software suggestions?

  I use the Pocket extension for Chrome. You can tag every one to organize them. They have import options and some paid features that could help you sort of dead links and other things. https://getpocket.com/en/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Saving links for later app?

  I do use Pocket for this: https://getpocket.com/en/ works great. I‘m not sure about the notes though, have never really tried that. It supports tags, that how I usually categorize my links. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is there a Linkedin "saved post" solution?

  There is an app called Pocket, also a Chrome extension which allows you to saves links and you can tag them to organise. If you use this on mobile, use the ‘share via’ on LinkedIn and you save to Pocket. That’s how I do it! Hope that helps. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anti-FOMO

  Leverage RSS feeds, and/or pocket, and/or many other credible alternatives to keep things organized and save time. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
