@newt @shpuld @mono @lain We don't have amazon in the Netherlands, we can either use amazon UK or DE if we want to use it but the whole goddamn country shuns that place, mostly for the reasons that nobody here knows amazon that well, as well as that amazon UK and DE don't support any of the typical payment methods we use here (iDeal being the most important one).

Dutch resident here. Me and my two Dutch roomates order from amazon.de all the time, though I do agree bol and coolblue or similar are our first goto just because shipping is faster and cheaper.

With that said, they absolutely do accept iDeal and other Dutch forms of payment. I literally just paid for an Amazon order a few minutes ago with iDeal

@freemo @shpuld @mono @lain @newt that's news to me then. I've mostly used amazon UK instead, which didn't have it yet last time I used it (which was almost 3 years ago so take it with a grain of salt). I guess amazon DE got a bit wiser.

iDeal is used in germany, but I dont think (not sure) it is common in the UK. Likely explains why if thats the case. I cant remember if my recent purchases off amazon UK offered iDeal as an option.

I think the biggest reason other than shipping cost that dutch people avoid amazon if they can is simply because its not in Dutch, and if you use the german one its not even in english. So it can be hard to find what you want.
