The Swiss one has a much sooner delivery. If you want to wait for 28 May for delivery, go for it.

buy the 100, then sell of the 94 you don’t need for a 70 Fr profit!

50 for 4.50 CHF at Hornbach

I always go straight to Hornbach for anything gardening/DIY.

Jumbo (AKA COOP Hobby and Bau) is for Swiss people who want to think they are into DIY and don’t mind paying for it.

It depends on where you live.

We usually go to Jumbo for convenience. We’re not going to waste half a day driving to the nearest Hornbach for something we need just to save a few francs when Jumbo is a few minutes away round the corner.
Of course it’s worth doing for more expensive stuff but not for odd bits and bobs.

I agree with this. Best example is Feller electrical fitting.

Hornbach have also improved their online shopping experience, 3 years ago it was horrific.
