Yeah, last time I was in a place under those same circumstances I was surprised at just how competent their local big online retailer was. It really did most of the same things Western Europeans and North Americans think only Amazon could do. Same day delivery in major cities, free delivery, no-questions-asked returns, the whole deal.
It was a remarkable confirmation that Amazon isn't deploying some secret sauce. Their model is entirely replicable, they're just so big that any local retailer doing the same thing is just crushed before they can compete.
You don't fix that with a soft boycott.
