European All Purpose Online Shop? (sopuli.xyz)

Hi all,

Does anyone know an online shop with a big and wide-spread assortment that isn't just a marketplace with individual suppliers?

I haven't bought expensive stuff from amazon for years but still used it occasionally to fill some gaps from my shopping list for small special items that I couldn't find offline. You can easily get all of that in other online shops or marketplaces like eBay but you'd have to order everything separately: You'll pay shipping multiple times and produce way more waste for packaging.

Sample shopping list:

Sweetening vanilla flavor drops (you typically get those in sport related shops where you also get protein powder)
Yellow or green shoe laces with 140cm length
Environment-friendly sunscreen stick with UV protection of 50

I know individual online shops where I can all of that but is there a shop where I might get this (or similar weird combinations of stuff) all in one box?

Kind regards, rbn

You seem to confuse declining service catered towards Dutch citizens living abroad with isolationism. I'm not sure what the reasons are that this level of service changed, however it isn't isolationist policy.

Wilders is certainly isolationist, he changed his time post Brexit and doesn't bring nexit up anymore, but I wouldn't trust him on that. However the current administration is not isolationist and mainly pro eu.

All I know of Dutch people living abroad (in France) is that most things are generally quite well arranged. Certainly compared to pre-eu standards. There's a lot of bureaucracy, but that's navigable.

But I'm sorry you experience things like you do maybe it's worse in Germany?
