Appreciation post: bol.com is *so* much nicer than Amazon

When I moved into the Netherlands 6 years ago I was surprised to learn amazon didn't operate here. Things changed and now they do but oh boy, the more time passes the more I appreciate how nice bol.com is: starting from the clean blissful web/app experience, to their costumer service, it's been consistently great for me. Makes me want to use them even if the price is just slightly above another retailer.

On the other side, amazon.com just feels like aliexpress on 2x prices. I wish there were strong high quality online retail alternatives like bol.com in other EU countries too.
