    e-commerce in Europe is laughably bad no wonder people are turning to Temu and China and abroad in general. It’s either Amazon or outdated brick stores with their own archaic tech that works sometimes, and surprises you with a couple extra fees every single checkout.

    The only redemption right now is Shopify rollout for boosting small shops which is hard to mess up but even that is being overtaken by scam spam.

    The service is just so bad that people will wait 2 weeks for potentially dangerous products and deal with customs just to save cup of coffee worth of money. The service is the issue not anything else.

      I use Aliexpress because half the products on amazon are just dropshipper that buy from Aliexpress anyway. Why should I pay more for the same product? But there are genuinely good e-commerce in Europe that sells local products (Zalando for example)
