Post by: Lizzie Zoom on 01 September 2021, 20:08:32
Amazon has just beaten their previous record for my deliveries.

Product ordered online at 1100 this morning, now just delivered at 1955 this evening!! :y :y :y
So under 9 hours from order to delivery. Very impressive 8) 8) :)

High Street can't compete as their business models aren't so easily changed to online sales (especially when they are trying to keep high street stores open)...... also not helped by their business rates being considerably higher than Amazon and co.

Online only businesses such as Amazon are great for us the consumer (especially when working from home) its just absurd that they aren't charged business rates comparable to the high street in my opinion.

Do they still pay a ludicrously low rate of UK tax as well?

Such a shame. I used it like nothing better than traipsing around the shops on a Saturday, watching the wife trying on clothes while I sat, busting for a piss. I will really miss the high street.

Shopping ok in it's self. Just that you don't want the wife traipsing round with you. Get in, get stuff and get out. Job jobbed.  ;)

Indeed. Probably could have made a cuppa, gone into town, purchased the same thing at the same price* and got back home before the cuppa was cold :-X

Allowing for the fact that 'free' delivery is anything but.
