Amazon has become one of many families. At Amazon we can find anything that comes to mind, no matter how strange it may be, and have it on our doorstep the next day, if we are also users of the Amazon Prime loyalty program.
In Amazon we can find from televisions, to screwdrivers, through cleaning supplies, clothing, fresh produce, books and movies in physical and digital format, furniture of any kind, even handicraft products.
Competing with Amazon is an impossible mission today, however, if we can find any other alternative. The problem when looking for alternatives is that we will never find quality and customer service that Amazon offers us.
At Amazon, when you have a problem with a product, they don't ask questions. If you have a problem with a product that is still under warranty, you directly return it and they send you a new one. If it is no longer for sale, they will refund the money you paid.
However, for many people, buying online can be a problem, since they do not just trust a business that does not have physical stores where they can go to touch the product. This is one of the reasons why at Amazon we can find a wide variety of products at the lowest prices, since you do not have to pay for physical space to display them.
Here we show you the best alternatives to Amazon:
El Corte Ingles
When El Corte Inglés bought Galerías Preciados, this became the only large area available in the center of the cities (the shopping centers are on the outskirts) where you could find everything. However, he did not know how to adapt to the internet age to sell your products over the internet.
When he wanted to do it, Amazon was already working in Spain, and as we all know, the first to arrive is the one who succeeds. El Corte Inglés is ideal for those people who do not trust establishments such as Amazon who cannot come to see the product.
In recent years, El Corte Inglés has been doing everything possible to compete with Amazon and has launched a loyalty service that allows receive purchases in two hours after your purchase (also available on Amazon).
Through the El Corte Inglés website, we can buy any product that comes to mind, as in Amazon, however, the prices that Amazon offers us are much more competitive, since it is the manufacturers themselves (in most cases) that sell the products through Amazon.
Carrefour
Without making noise, little by little the French giant Carrefour, has been becoming an interesting option to consider if you are looking for alternatives to Amazon. Carrefour allows us to make the purchase of the day, both from the supermarket and other types of products and offers us the option ClickCollect to collect the product directly at the shopping center or without getting out of the car through Carrefour Drive two hours after making the purchase.
Like Amazon and El Corte Inglés, andn Carrefour we can find all kinds of products, from those intended for food, to books in paper format (not digital like Amazon), televisions, furniture of any kind, clothing, personal care items, consoles, accessories for pets ...
Alternatives to Amazon for buying electronics
FNAC
If you are looking for the latest book or the latest video game that has been released, in FNAC you will find it next to a large number of electronic devices such as televisions, consoles, stereos, projectors, music, cameras, smart home devices ...
FNAC has always specialized in the electronics sector closest to the user. Like El Corte Inglés, it is usually found in the center of many capitals, so its proximity to the general public has allowed it to reach other users through the internet quite easily.
PcComponents
The only rival that can stand up to Amazon in the IT sector is PcComponentes, a Murcian company that has become a giant within this sector. You will find any product and/or accessory you want for your computer, including peripherals, in this store.
Monitors of all sizes, mice of all prices, membrane and mechanical keyboards, headphones of all kinds, RAM memory of all speeds, SSD disks of all capacities available on the market, power sources, graphic cards ... everything and much more you will find in PcComponentes.
eBay
Platform eBay has been losing ground around the world in favor of Amazon, it is also an excellent choice for finding new electronics products. Many are the manufacturers and large shopping centers that use this platform to sell their products.
When using this platform, it is recommended relying on vendor reputation data and always choose to buy from the most reputable sellers to avoid potential problems with the device during the warranty period.
Alternatives to Amazon to buy clothes and accessories
ASOS
While it is true that at Amazon we have at our disposal a large number of options to dress, if we want to do it really well, it is best to opt for online stores such as ASOS, a store where we can buy so much accessories such as clothing for both women and men.
AOS allows us to contract the option Premier Shipping, whose cost is 29,99 euros per year and that allows us to enjoy shopping the next day without a minimum amount. The cost per shipment of this platform is 9,95 euros, so with only 3 orders that we make, we have already amortized that fee.
In addition, it has a Outlet area where we can find a large number of offers. If we do not know what to give, we can choose to buy a gift card (like Amazon) so that the interested person can buy what they like the most.
Zalando
Although Zalando came to the market as an online store for accessories, mainly shoes, little by little it has been expanding and is currently making available to us all types of clothingFrom sporty to casual to premium brands for both men and women.
Finding the clothes that may interest us the most is a very simple and fast process thanks to the filter that allows us to establish the brand, size, type of clothing and even the color. As with ASOS, both shipping and returns are completely free.
