Inappropriate?Exactly my thoughts!
There would be a market for an Amazon.pt
Maybe next Christmas we will be buying the gifts using it?
what do you say? -
Inappropriate?DO WANT!
I have ordered a Xbox 360 from amazon.co.uk (7,6KG) but they dont ship products like digital cameras to other countries (Portugal included) for some reason... :|
I'd also be happy with that.
I’m confident
-
Inappropriate?Oh yes, there would be market for it. Portuguese people do buy things (honest people, huh?)
I’m confident

Inappropriate?I would like very much for this to happen. It would be so convenient for buying foreign language books, in Portugal. The main advantage would probably be reduced shipping costs and time.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Oh yes, please please and please!
Im so tired of paying more on shipping costs than the product itself. And some products would certainly be cheaper, there's a market!! We Portuguese like shopping... a lot so, c'mon, bring it on!!
I’m excited

this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?It's a splendid idea. There is a good and large market in Portugal waiting (and also in CPLP countries ).
I’m excited with the idea

Inappropriate?Looks great. Like WFox said, there's a lot of business opportunity in this land ;)
I’m happy

Inappropriate?I'm hoping to move to Portugal from the UK so bring it on.

Inappropriate?It's about time. Portuguese market represents a humongous gateway into european market. French amazon is faulty and for some reason, French people don't use amazon very much...
Portuguese people alone would buy a lot from an hypothetical amazon.pt, they already buy a lot from amazon.com and .uk, plus, with the Spanish market and the Italian market it would be a very good business idea.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?It would be kind of pointless to have a Portugal-oriented amazon at this time since they have already started shipping most of their products here (which wasn't the case 9 months ago).
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?Why does no one from the Amazon ownership / management respond to ideas such as this ?
EG there may be some technical reason why not ? Or an issue of the size of the market : it is all very well to say the world population of Portuguese speakers is large but most of them are in Brazil. If amazon.co.uk shipped at reasonable costs to Portugal / Mozambique etc. that would probably do the job.
It would be interesting / useful to know the thinking behind why amazon sets up in some countries and not others.
Presumably taxation and reliability of postal service are factors.
