Amazon Australia open for trading 2PM Thursday
Nov 22nd, 2017 at 8:41am
 
Just in time for Crisssmus as poor old gerry would say !!

Quote:
Harvey Norman will be Amazon's 'most formidable competitor'

Harvey Norman narrowly avoided a first strike against its remuneration report after chairman Gerry Harvey mounted a spirited defence of the retailer's performance and outlaid plans to tackle Amazon head on.

Mr Harvey dismissed reports that Amazon would "eat our lunch", saying Harvey Norman would leverage the strengths of its bricks and mortar showrooms and online stores and match or beat Amazon on price to remain No. 1 in its categories.

"It's not a simple case of Amazon coming in and eating our lunch – we'll be the most formidable competitor they've ever seen," Mr Harvey told shareholders at the annual meeting in Sydney on Thursday as Harvey Norman shares rose 3.8 per cent to $3.91.

"If it gets rough we have a war chest much greater than any of our competitors in this space and we will be the last man standing."

Mr Harvey also said Amazon would be "idiots" to launch new retail products and services before Christmas, suggesting the e-commerce giant was running out of time given that most online retailers shut up shop by mid-December because shoppers were worried about getting deliveries on time.

Amazon has refused to say exactly when it plans to launch its new offer in Australia but country manager Rocco Braeuniger said on Monday it was "really, really, really" close, while suppliers believe it will be before the end of November.

"They should be opening in February or March," Mr Harvey said. "To get out there and open now shows how dumb they are – they will make so many mistakes if they do this.

"It makes no sense, it's just crazy. Every time they do something wrong guess who will do something about it – they are our No. 1 target," he said, adding that many of Harvey Norman's suppliers would not supply Amazon at all.


Yeh right gerry. You've had a war chest all of this time whilst milking everyone for as long as you could get away with it. Good move gerry.

OK; so I posted this back in September, and you Ozns can't remember anything that didn't happen in the last three days. So it's NEW, GET IT?

"An example. Amazon is currently setting up shop - sorry, NO-shop - in Australia. It is a foreign corporation with a single aim: to make as much money as possible and send it back to the USA. It is KNOWN FOR CERTAIN that in doing so it will not only destroy jobs in this country, but the small businesses and other structures that CREATE jobs. Those jobs can never re-appear.

"If the people in Canberra actually RAN Australia, they would simply declare, "The presence of this foreign corporation in Australia is NOT in the country's best interest" and refuse them permission to operate here. They do this in Singapore, in China, in all countries that are REAL nations and determine their own destiny. Oz is NOT a real nation: the Union Jack dominates its flag, its head of state is the monarch of a foreign land, and its defence is overseen by the USA, of which it is a protectorate. Ozns DO NOT KNOW HOW - or what it means - TO BE A NATION.

"Instead, those in Canberra will just ignore what's going on, because THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE PAID TO DO - ALL of them.

"And if any DID take the action I've just recommended, they'd either be voted out of office, or meet with a nasty "accident".

"But then, that's just ANOTHER conspiracy theory."

And, of course, you didn't have the guts to reply then, and don't now. JUST keep taking yer medication, mates!

What rubbish. You didn't mention the 500 suppliers who have created a business by supplying their wares to Amazon customers !! Unlike Gerry Harvey and co who wouldn't even look at most of those suppliers because he has his head firmly stuck up his arse.

To hell with your bricks and mortar scam artists. Greedy arrogant sons of bitches.

The moral of the story is focus on creating something new and different instead of importing the same container load of chinese made junk and expecting to ripoff the gullible consumer with your ridiculous markups.

Well instead of bringing in the same old sh.t as everyone else does from china why don't you try and make something and sell it through Amazon ? Your more likely to make a quid than you are with old Harvey. That old fossil wouldn't give you the time of day.

Just check out his Best buys shop. It's as though he has unloaded the whole lot off a dozen containers from china. What a loser he is and the fickle aussies who buy shares in his BS company.

Yep. Dinkum Oz. Their pollies are too stupid even to know what country they belong to, and the wimmen (let's face it, after the last vote they ALL are) will stop at  NUTHING to get a bargain.

Typical whores - male or female!

It can be a bargain compared to what we pay here.

Nobody gets all the money.

However, quite a bit will be going to the Australian operations managers, pickers, packers, systems technicians, and HR specialists in Australia who will most definitely be paying taxes in this country.

More than a thousand of them, in fact.

Over a thousand Australian workers, paying taxes, will get a good proportion of the money.

That's a good thing, isn't it?
