Is it just me: Or, have you made the decision to spend your money on Amazon?

We do have Amazon here, don't blame me because you can't afford to use them.

Where is 'here' please? There is no Amazon.co.th.

Must use Singapore, Malysia or USA or UK.

So we have four Amazons here, thanks!

I spend almost no money shopping on the internet....and probably zero this year.

When I came here I flirted with Lazada, but I was unhappy with the service.

What I do spend money on is e-books for my kindle, nothing else and occasionally buy gift cards for my granddaughter.

Having said that, being in my 70s, there is really nothing at all I want to buy, on Amazon or in stores. Consumerism has gone stale, the promise and lure of purchases that have consistently failed to deliver the promises made in the ad, have led to me being an anti-consumer.

My wife makes up for my lack of spending however....any old tat she sees advertised she wants to buy and as gullible as they come, especially for medical supplements that are supposed to revolutionise one's life, but never do. I eat the supplements of course, because I love her.

What has your age got to do with buying stuff on-line.

You say your Mrs buys, so what's the difference?

So you dictate where she must spend money you send to her? Transfer Baht so she can go anywhere.

I think he means he does not need to buy new stuff to amuse himself, not replacing consumables.

I can relate, I replace stuff, but I don't buy a lot of new stuff. That said, I like being able to buy stuff online and have it delivered.

I have in fact purchased sheets and a mattress protector from Amazona and had it delivered to Thailand.

Yes.

My point, completely.

HUGE problem that needs a solution.

Got a few friends that come to Thailand from the US at least yearly, I just send whatever I need to their house and they bring it over for me. Not the fastest way to get things done, but it usually only cost me a lunch.

I do the same... sorta.

Have work collegues visiting the office fairly often, I get stuff sent to their office (USA/AUS/UK) and they bring over for me.

When I was working, we got a 40' container a month from our California plant, anything I wanted I'd have delivered to the plant and it went into the front of the container.
