Just heard today Amazon has scoped out a suitable warehouse in Melbourne. Now watch all of the other import junkies crap themselves. Feel the fear Gerry and co ! That's how all of the Aussie manufacturers felt when you sold them out to the foreign competition whilst preserving your own greedy profit margins !
Finally it's the end game for the greedy Bricks and Mortar stores !
I have never seen anyone get as much enjoyment out of foreign companies coming to this country and destroying Australian business as you do.
You are one fkked up little unit.
Australian businesses are destroying themselves.
High prices, coupled with second-rate service, are driving away their customers.
Look at books, for example.
I can get in my car and go to my local Dymocks, wait 5 or 10 minutes for someone to serve me, and then pay $30 for a book.
Or, I can go online to bookdepository.com, find the exact same book for up to half price, and have it delivered to me for free.
Supporting local business is all well and good, but If you can get the same thing, for a lot cheaper, delivered to your door, why wouldn't you support a foreign company that will provide that service?
I don't mind paying the Australian premium.
