Is there a online shopping platform that is EU based? Have you used any or heard of cool related projects?
Also the platform being privacy oriented would be a big plus.
In NL and BE there is bol.com
But watch out for the smaller items. They have decent prices on big items, but all of the small stuff is pretty hit or miss as far as pricing goes. Sometimes it is cheaper to go to the seller’s own website and order (since bol does a ton of storefront sales like amazon marketplace or whatever it is).
Also Coolblue, Alternate, Megekko, and azerty for tech items
For home automation stuff, ROBBshop.nl and slimmedingen.nl instead of bol or coolblue.
Tru dat mate. I usually use http://tweakers.net/ to see who has the best price.
In Poland, Allegro is really strong, it’s owned by european funds and it’s already available in few more countries in middle-eastern Europe. Maybe someday it’ll grow even further.
Still, most small companies would prefer you to buy from them directly.
Search ducks, and it is mostly an online marketplace - so most products are from China anyway. Basically European based Aliexpress/Wish/Ebay/Amazon.
I can’t say I liked the experience, especially when they bought the second biggest pc part retailer, completely annihilated their website (which was one the nicest and most user friendly eshop websites I’ve ever used), and replaced the websites with a web page (or category) on their own website, which is borderline unusable in comparison while offering half the items.
@buyeuropean@feddit.org , this post made me think this could maybe become a category on https://buy-european.net/en/categories ?
cdon.com is the one that I prefer.
In the Netherlands Bol.com. In Germany Otto. Outside Europe from Japan Rakuten.
