Fun fact: Apple supply chain, which moved to Vietnam and India during the pandemic, is now returning to China. Relying on China is increasingly turning out to be a bless, rather than a risk.

Yet speed is not everything! I would rather see slower but using fewer resources. If Could place an order from bulk and set what price I'm willing to pay for an Item till x date, or multiple items at a lower price. If could rather choose a sustainable shipping option I would do so. Unfortunately, we haven't built a uniform high capacity, efficient electric railway system all across Eurasia and Africa. That would be a pretty cool 100-year utopian plan :). No retail packaging, descriptions are on the websites anyway, no need for printed manuals if not requested for an extra cost. Reusable and actually reused for its primary purpose, lightweight, durable packaging could help reduce necessary shipping volume and weight. Products themselves should be sustainable.

With Starship SpaceX could probably do that in about 2 hours. Around 30 minutes of flight and then delivery to your door.

There are 3 major eCommerce player in China. JD targets high quality and authentic guarantee market, PDD targets low quality but cheap market, Alibaba want to do both. So basically if ppl want high quality and accpet higher price, they go JD, they want low price they go PDD. For anything they don't know they go to Alibaba.

Yeah, I try to filter out the Chinese sellers on Amazon cuz I know their low enticing price usually comes with a catch. Nahh

Everything in the US is from China, big companies and brands just buy in bulk and have it waiting here for us. Walmart, target, your local stores most of the time, etc.

most people will overlook this at first…

I've reported product problems on both Amazon and Aliexpress, 100% refunded within very short time frames, none asked me to return the items. I don't think it's a problem as long as your claims are legit and can provide evidence of malfunctions etc.

Mmmm.....no it's most definitely the speed of shipping lol.

You can apply for a refund without returning the product. But the speed of the delivery is the biggest issue for me. Waiting for weeks or even months after paying for a product is not very satisfying experience.

Kind hard they need to control inflation

I don't agree! Amazon is always 2-3 times more expensive. But it is a seller using dropshipping so you get the same product in the end. Amazon is only better for returns, but that is the reason why a 3 dollar pack of sewing needles from aliexpress cost 9 dollars on Amazon - greetings from Germany

Some android phones are much better and cheaper Altman Apple phones, yet Apple is still holding their own in the market. Most of the time, people just do what they want and love

@@azeezosho9459 Correct. It’s also important that each company focuses on the loyalty and branding in the marketing.

If you saw the very end the most important thing for a consumer is getting what you want in time. Last thing you want is a counterfeit item. I sometimes spend just a little more to get the product I am seeking for. Amazon has been great customer service is amazing to me that is a huge win overall. Sometimes its all about quality and customer service over pricing. I will spend a little more for just that.

with or without alibaba, amazon is far from being the cheapest

Thats all market money

Amazon makes most of their money from cloud computing. Around 70% of their revenue is from cloud. Retail is a small part of their business and the margins are razor thin.

@@AzeemMia You are correct, the company valuation (stock) is overly inflated right now. I call it fluff money.

AWS make up most of Amazons revenue and retail makes up a small portion of their bottom line

You should read Amazon’s 10k before making your comment here.

Alibaba is offering its own cloud services as well now.

Amazon earns 50+% from store and only 12.5% from cloud

@@VFPn96kQT But look at the profits. Cloud is already biggest profit maker.

@@VFPn96kQT revenue and profits are two very different things. Last year Amazon lost money on their retail business. 100% of their profit was from AWS.

On the flipside, Alibaba takes over the Philippines and Southeast Asia under its subsidiary, Lazada.

Would you like Alibaba competing to lower prices?

Didn't Wallmart purchase Flipkart to increase their online footprint and compete with Amazon??

Flipkart is way better with original items from its own selling arms compared to Amazon.

aim higher, 99.9%

I'd prefer to order on Amazon though for many reasons. Including but not limited to: the item being genuine, faster delivery, free delivery, top notch support, being able to use alexa, reviews, and an incredible return experience.

@@sashagallaway1945 genuine? Same products at 3x-4x the cost to cover expenses...

@@sashagallaway1945 Genuine? Lol.. How naive you are.. Even that so-called genuine products you buy are still bought and made from Chinese manufacturers..

Aliexpress now includes the tax on the products when you pay. So when it gets to customs, it doesn't get stopped since you already paid for it on Aliexpress. Before it would take a package 2-3 months to get from china to Portugal, but this time, I ordered on the 26th of July and I received it today. Not even 2 weeks!!

They don't concentrate on third world countries.. It's fact not disrespecting ur country

South East Asia is not the target market of Aliexpress, Alibaba put more focus on Lazada and localization.

In Southeast Asia its more about Lazada or shoppee lol

@@waffelo4681 shoppee largest downside is the cringy ads.

Thats Why Lazada & Shoppee exists here at the first place,since they could take Aliexpress' Place without being a Hassle to most of its customers here(Who happensthat most of them doesnt even use Credit Cards to buy stuff here at the first place),also These Sites ships pretty fast from its longest delivery time of 1 week to its shortest one which could only take 48hours from the Time of Order

That's fair.

Amazon steals from sellers and encourages fraudulence under the name of customer centric.

You haven't used Amazon if you think user experience in Alibaba is much better. Amazon's costumer service is so good that they will take loses but not disappoint any of their costumer. Once I bought a non-returnable item from Amazon but the colour was slightly off from the picture on Amazon so I tried returning it but since it was non-returnable, they refunded all the money to my bank account but didn't take the product and I got to keep it for free. That's the kind of service Amazon provides even for the non-returnable products.

Depends on where you live, what you ordered, and sometimes when you ordered. Sometimes they need to send items in batch to reduce the cost. You are unlucky if your item is the first few ones in the batch. I have ordered several times, some comes 2 months after shipped, some only 2 weeks.

@renkar820 yes. You got the real point. 👊👊👊 I rather keep my stocks with Amazon.

Not all EU countries are the same. In Italy, you will get custom tax only if you spend over 150 euro.

@@melonheaded now EU get regulations where every member must have tax no matter how worth are package which coming outside of EU

bruh its better if there were 4 or 6 companies like this but 2 is better than one

Oh, on what ground? Is that just temporary or like permanent?

This is a lie. The EU just imposed a Value Added Tax (VAT) on goods bought from E-Commerce entering the EU. For small items under $22 Euro, this does not apply. The VAT is like a sales tax but it is applied every step of the way then summed up. For example, there is a factory smelting iron, VAT is applied to the cost of energy, then the iron, then the tools. It isn't a flat fee like what was stated above.

Joe Bidens infrastructure plan is a copy of Chinas

You almost always need to pay around 20% of the total product+shipment price in EU for tax when it’s shipped from non-EU counties

Too many variables to automate last mile shipping. Sounds simple in concept. But once you delve into the details and the various circumstances that can be encountered approaching different homes, you realize a robot can’t do it. You would have to individualize each robots route. As each one would encounter different roads, homes, apartments, and there various styles, driveways, sidewalks, etc. The most difficult being apartments, condominiums etc. Because these never follow an easy ground plan. They vary wildly. Then you would have to account for difficult weather. Rain, snow, heat, ice, wind etc. a machine in a factory or wear-house doesn’t have to worry about this. Now that it’s outside on a daily route, it has to account for it. Maintenance would also be comparably high for its usage and route difficulty. Then you would also have to take into account theft. How easy would it be to intercept and rob your machine? Once you really think about it. Automating last mile shipping is very difficult. And probably not worth the trouble

If you look at the world map, you see why China got the idea of BRI. Similar ideas can never happen with South Korea (a small country, both people and territory) or Japan (an Island country).

Luckily, China is also the country that invested most in the green mobility and green energy

You want cheap price but not cheap quality? This is business not charity. Every single penny you pay matters.

Amazon is more expensive than other online retailers. Sometimes it's 10-20 perfect. I think it's a rip-off.

You forget that most of the world's products are manufactured in China, and because they don't have copyrights, these products are learned, reverse engineered, and made into high quality, cheap cost Chinese origin products. In this way, Chinese manufacturers and brands are surpassing foreign brands who simply cannot compete on price. I've witnessed this myself as a user of lighting technologies; the Chinese brands were cheaper in quality 10 years ago but with the western brands manufactured in China being reverse engineered, the Chinese quality has improved significantly while still retaining that low price. The future for western products is quite grim.
