Galaxus / Digitec (same company, different name) is the fucking tits. But I was unaware they deliver outside of CH?

You can honestly get anything on there, except dor maybe specific books, where Amazon remains supreme.

Looks like they deliver to a handful of other continental European countries. Anybody aware of a UK-delivering equivalent?

I ordered several times from them on their German website and it was very reliable, absolutely recommend

Ordered twice with them and was both satisfied. Sure it doesn't beat Amazons Over-Night or even Same-Day Ordering, but thats fine (both took 10 days)

What country were you in? 10 days sounds pretty long ...
