    Europe does have alternative webshops, but they are generally not Europe-wide. So I can’t tell you what webshops to use without knowing where in Europe you live.

    The Netherlands has Bol.com, for instance, and Germany has Otto from what I understand.

      They’re normally EU wide as the free movement of goods applies to things you buy. Sure the postage might go up a little if it’s the other side of the continent, but there should be no restrictions.

        In theory that is the case, but in practice it is up to the webshop whether they actually want to ship their packages across the continent. For example, to my knowledge, Bol.com only ships to the Netherlands and Belgium at this time.
