Daraz.pk sucks. Horrible horrible service.

Our industry is not mature and quality of products is so low that even our own public not buy products made here and prefer imported goods.We can only offer some textile products and nothing much.Amazon wants to enter Pakistan to avoid trade war effects with china and many investors or retailers will setup warehouses here and buy products from china and then supply chinese made products to u.s markets from Pakistan.On the other hand our public love for imported products will increase imported goods to Pakistan

Yor are wrong but even if you are right then at the same time export will also increase with profits and tax revenues ...

By the way the e.commerce works like you sale only the products you manufacture cheaply otherwise this type of supply chain can be established by any country ... why they need Pakistan for that ?

Ecommerce site like amazon deal in sale of finished products but our most exports are in raw material forms so it is not suitable for us unless we start manufacturing finished products of high quality
Due to cpec it is costeffective for amazon to setup warehouses for supply of chinese products to markets in western countries and will also help them to sale such products in Pakistan due to our high population they will get large number of customers of such products and also western goods
If you visit amazon website you will find large number of chinese made products imported to u.s are sold on it.It also act as a retailer who also sell imported products inaddition to locally manufactured products and earn profit from differences in prices

Competition is ways good AliBaba vs Amazon in pakistan. It would directly & indirectly provide benefits to Pakistanis. We need to both both e-commerce giants to export not only in China but also in Europe. This competition will defiantly encourage the manufacturing/production of finished products in pakistan by China & Europe.

The thing I like about Amazon is that they are laser focused on customer service. Pakistani companies do not care one bit about customer service so I hope Amazon can kick them in the butt.

Junaid Akram did a really good video on this

@Rusty Absolutly right. pak Govt need to open an institute to teach our small business how to apply costumer services. Unfortunately in pakistani culture there is always greed but not a long term planing to boast business in favour of customers treatment. Only few business communities are awesome in pakistan memon, bohri & Agha Khani their dealing & customers services are good enough which I personally observed in Karachi.

We must keep this pos Amazon out of pakistan. We are essentially a small traders/retailers society, basically a nation of shopkeepers, we cannot afford to have such a predatory company which is notorious to destroy local retailers where ever it operates. There will be riots in pakistan if Amazon caused any kind of inroads in pakistan.

There are small e-commarce platforms with unreliable products which are mostly worst copy of original product. Shockingly they claim money back guarantee but never fulfill their own claim. I would be happy if any giant Alibaba or Amazon destroy those unreliable, worst e-commarce network in pakistan.

We must keep this pos Amazon out of pakistan. We are essentially a small traders/retailers society, basically a nation of shopkeepers, we cannot afford to have such a predatory company which is notorious to destroy local retailers where ever it operates. There will be riots in pakistan if Amazon caused any kind of inroads in pakistan.

I want someone kindly explain Online retail vs offline retail differences.

A word is enough to the wise.

No, not even close. Terrible service.

Amazon is very good platform - very advanced (AI), organized and customer-oriented services, and a huge catalog of products. My experience is positive.

We must keep this pos Amazon out of pakistan.

Amazon is predatory?

Do you realize how terrible Pakistani local E-commerce services are? Too many complaints across the board. If you have lot of money to waste....

Amazon can provide a centralized customer-friendly, secure and organized E-commerce base in Pakistan - a proper E-commerce gateway is the need of the hour.

Beother you have no idea what are you talking about ... let me try this one last time with greater details and only if you want to understand the teal practices you will learn othwerwise you can keep raising

1. first of all tou are assuming that if we are listed on the buyer list of Amazon then we are listed on selling list of amazon which ia totally wrong assumption.

2. Irrespective of we gets include on Amazon vendor lists they can decide anytime to make Pakistan their market place.

3. Geneeally we sell only those products which we manufacture ... there is ni sense of importing products pay custom duties and taxes and then export it ...

4. Even if we sell imported goods on Amazon in the process we will get the profit which was never there so it will be stupid to ignore this opportunity

Amazon is the prime platform for most people who are selling made in china junk both in America and Europe, it is also full of sellers that sell counterfeit products. Amazon is just a hyped POS. They make full use of their large capital at hand for "pay back gurantees" because they have calculated that 95% people will not return their products even if they were substandard. Actually that is how all these pos american e-commerce companies work.

Amazon is a pos in many senses, it not only sells products under its own "amazon" brand but also anyone can make an account as seller by paying certain amount of "money" to Amazon depending on country specific regulations. This is the "money" that Amazon uses to "gurantee" the reimbursement of products sent back by the customers. Amazon is corrupt to the core, its AI algorithms observe which products of private sellers are in hot sale in a given quarter or financial year, the Amazon then selects those products and orders them directly from china and then sell it under its own official Amazon brand thus gradually kicking the private sellers who made thaose products successful for sale on this pos Amazon platform.
