Amazon warehouse to open in Melb - bad luck Gerry
Aug 3^rd, 2017 at 11:00pm

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.

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.

I hate people being unemployed, so if it costs more to keep them off the dole, no biggie to me.

I don't mind paying the Australian premium.

Either do I, when it's reasonable.

If a book is $30 in Dymocks, and $25 at bookdepository.com, I'll go to Dymocks.

If it's half price, though, that's a different story.

Plus, as I mentioned before, service is just appalling in this country.

I don't mind paying a premium for good service, and a good product, but I'm not going to hand over extra money when the person serving me is too busy texting, and the product I'm buying is twice the price.

I support local business as much as I can, but only up to a certain point - if they start takin' the piss, I'll go online.

I reckon there's a pretty good chance that one of the people packing my books in Gloucester is an Australian.

And, even if they're a whinging pom, there's a pretty good chance they'll come to Australia for a holiday (and spend lots of tourist dollars), thanks to my orders.

Everyone wants the top dollar, but nobody wants to pay the price for it

We have been plummeting head long into a service based economy, nobody wants to be any good at it

We all get our panties in a bunch when tourism jobs are threatened by mining, don't care enough to make sure they are any good at it or even want to do that sort of sh1t for a living.

We as a country couldn't organise a root in a brothel with a fist full of $100s

All these problems as first world as they are, are of our own making, no-one else is to blame.

The margins are a lot tighter in B&M shops these days but there are still some items you get royally arsephucked on.

Bout 5 years ago a Merican friend was visiting me and spotted an XYZ in my house and said, oh I've got the same one and I nearly fainted after the "how much did you pay" conversation.

A month later I landed and paid tax on x50 of them for about $450 each. RRP was $1700. Over the next two years I sold as many as I could get my hands on (for about $1000 ) and ended up moving the RRP down to about $1200 Grin

Who were the punters buying from when old Gerry and co went over to asia to seek out the bargain basement suppliers which subsequently put a lot of local manufacturers out of business when he stopped buying from them ? The internet and e-commerce wasn't around then !! Get your head out of the sand dickhead. What goes around comes around Wink
