Where is this?

Denmark, there is no close Amazon warehouse, so shipping always suck. Not only is shipping times frequently a week or more, it's also overpriced and items are frequently less expensive from local online stores.

Amazons only advantage is it's massive selection, if you can find what you're looking for.

In the US, it's the opposite. If you order directly from the brand, you get multi-day or more often multi-week delivery times. Unless they are using amazon logistic and which case it's the same as buying off amazon - 0/1/2-day delivery times.

I remember the days when things didn't arrive immediately. I miss them. We were more patient back then.
