genialokal.de is backed by over 750 owner-managed bookshops across Germany. Since 2015, the joint umbrella brand has stood for the goal of strengthening the local book trade, with 80% of users using the delivery option “click&collect” to pick up their order from their local book store.
In Benelux we also have Bol.com as an Amazon alternative.
I have never in my life purchased anything from Amazon and am fully intending to keep it that way.
I’ve had moments where Bol didn’t have something but Amazon did. In those cases it’s because it came from AliExpress. Might as well just order at AliExpress at that point :-/
