   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

• Ask HN: Those making $0/month or less on side projects – Show and tell

  Https://wishy.gift - A privacy friendly wishlist service, made for my SO after she got 4 thermoses for Christmas a year and only needed 1. Costs ~$30/mo, but is used by my entire extended family, which makes it all worth it :). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What are your “scratch own itch” projects?

  My SO got 4 thermoses for Christmas one year, so I decided to build a simple wishlist service[0] to prevent it happening again. Launched it 6 years ago, and since then it's been used by friends, family and myself for all Christmas and birthdays - so I consider it a huge success. In addition to already being a success for me personally, it's growing organically, and last year really picked up the pace when I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What is your “I don't care if this succeeds” project?

  I created a privacy-friendly wishlist service (https://wishy.gift/) for my SO, and as long as she and my family uses it, it's a success for me. Going from ~1k to ~5k users during 2021 was a lot of fun, but it's the close circle that really counts :). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Alexa leaks your private wishlists

  I run a simple, free and privacy-friendly wishlist service[0] that's been around for a couple of years now, and I don't even keep your e-mail address[1]. It's been exciting to see the user count go from ~500 to ~2500 the last year. Any feedback and feature requests are much appreciated :) [0] https://wishy.gift/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• 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
