There's no real point to Amazon anymore. They generally aren't cheaper, especially once you factor in shipping, the entire site is a mess, you risk getting scammed and you can't really find what you're looking for anyway.
The only area where it makes sense is speed of delivery. If you really need something in the next 24 hours they are the fastest. For just about everything else the customer experience is far better elsewhere.
Amazon doesn't have any warehouses within the country, Germany is the nearest, so everything takes a week or more to arrive.
