because the goods can’t reach Switzerland (and the whole EU)
3 Likes
hehehe, the Chinese will not be happy with the Russians. After all, we don’t have those nasty tariffs on their goods.
However, I checked galaxus for my product, it went up to 156.00 but the fun thing is:
“used item delivery faster for Fr. 180.00”. roflmao, how desperate do they think people are?
Anyhow, I’ve almost forgotten about it again, I’m aries, I lose interest if I don’t get what I want and move on. I wouldn’t be surprised if I coincidentally came accross a thing twice as cool for half the - original - price. That’s how things work out in my life most times.
So next time I get that deal that is too good to be true, I should not unpack it over the weekend?
Whom are you referring to? Me or Axa’s op?
I have never heard of a case where additional payment was demanded, let alone experienced it myself.
The only thing new to me was that the price went up between me clicking to put it in the basket and the moment I was meant to click on buy. Which was disappointing but at least I could just cancel the process.
I think you are right. I compared a graph of the price of a PC I bought recently, supplied to Digitec by a German company, for the last three months and compared it with the Euro/CHF exchange rate over the same time.
They matched.
Cool. I just happened to buy my PC at the lowest price it had been for the last three months!
It’s not like they make a secret of it. In fact they even dedicate a whole webpage to it.

IMO they are and still are a fair business. Definitely for Switzerland.
To the article that Axa referred to
The customer received it on a Friday and unpacked the product over the weekend. On Monday it was already too late.

You just have to keep an eye on the things that interest you.
I was just notified that an item I saved for later has decreased in price from 108chf to 81.90chf.
I’ll look around and see if it’s a comparable price elsewhere and will then probably order it at that price.

yeah, I do that most times too (I mentioned it in my post 52), actually I do it when I’m under Fr. 50.00 (needed for free delivery) so I can complete orders (often though I don’t even want the things on the list anymore, LOL).
A great way to save money, btw.
Generally I quiet like the Galaxus system. They all got the watch-list but not that it informs you when the price drops. (There is one other that works like that but I can’t think of who that is just now). Also the system to ask questions; a question gets passed on to people who bought the product, you don’t need to find out whom to ask or just send the question into space.
I’ve also answered such questions - they come in via email from Galaxus - as I often had the product for a while by then I can actually give a useful answer.
Still, I do not like that the price is not even stable between putting it in the basket and checking out. Imagine Migros and Coop would do that!
Specially as I’ve not seen it happen mid process going down.
I have never experienced a last moment price change with Galaxus but got a wrong price
in Coop twice this year.
yep, Coop is good at that!
Their prices at the shelf are not the same as at the till. I noticed that when I tried out passabene back then. Every time several items were more expensive than it said at the shelf. (Yes I annoyed them complaining about it each time too, rofl).
Of course that is the same at the manned check-out but it’s less obvious, better for the nerves at least.
Now I only have my about 10 items I get in Coop, I zoom in and out about every 2 months and get only those.
Penises have become thicker in the last 10 years
If you shop condoms at galaxus you have alienated galaxus’ study about Swiss penis sizes. 
When I went on galaxus tonight, this article was the first on display.
The information they collect!! And to think the AI hoovers have probably already sucked it into their collection.

So, customers who bought extra small condoms will receive more “enlarge your penis” e-mails?

It is absolutely normal for any decent size business to collect sales data. It been done before we were even born. In fact before the internet marketing companies could tell when a women was pregnant. If one really wants to be anonymise then they most make all purchases with cash over the counter.
Actually, I enjoy reading most of the articles from Galaxus and find many of them interesting and information. As I mentioned before, I think it is a great shop, better than most others in Switzerland. IMO this store has revolutionized consumption in CH. They are overall transparent and trustworthy in comparison to most others. Even in comparison to Amazon, which appears to be more of a junk dealer these days.
Actually I don’t get any promotion emails from galaxus apart from the information re products on my wishlist or questions asked by others about products I have bought.
@marton I figured this wold happen to a mind or two but left the sentence as is anyway 
It was kind of a Friday-thread post anyway.
Btw. the DAB radio I’m watching went up 60.00 since I first tried to buy it. And - of course - Galaxus has read the Kassensturz report too, it’s discussed on their site. Meanwhile I find it interesting, it’s like dealing in stock exchange. All I have to do now is wait until the Swiss lose interest in it.
