Over a year ago Amazon paid just £293 million in tax to UK coffers.Margaret Hodge said Jeff Besoz's "failure to pay tax on his profits is utterly obnoxious.The company deliberately uses opaque financial structures to export profits to low tax jurisdictions."

Didn't he do well out of Covid 19?

Rishi Sunak are you listening?!

Amazon net sales in the UK from 2010 to 2019 have increased roughly from 4 billion to 17 billion US dollars.

Guess who is the world's richest and wealthiest man? No prizes here.Jeff Bezos of Amazon.

It is high time that the UK government imposes a digital tax on American tech giants.It is unfair that Sainsburys/Argos is not on a level playing field with Amazon.The government is suffering inertia in rectifying this anomaly.They should wake up as this is an additional means of raising money in our hard pressed economy.

I wish the packers would stop squashing the bread !!Beer case on top of the bread !!!Refunds every week make you wonder if they make anything on online orders .

Yesterday I used ChopChop. It's the modern equivalent of the corner shop - prices are highish, range is limited, but my word it's useful if you're in a bind! As standard online delivery orders have to be made several days ahead nowadays it's easier to run out of things than it was, so ChopChop could prove quite useful. I don't see it becoming a significant element of the business, though.

[netcurtains] 23/12/2020 16:29

chopchop App is still in roll out phase. It does inner London but outer London is not yet done.... Nor Surrey. I suspect its got a long way to go - but it does look good!

[tim 3] 23/12/2020 15:02

Yes it's a novel idea the customer actually covering (some?) of the cost of delivering their order.

[netcurtains] 23/12/2020 14:57

I do like the fact you have to pay a FEE that is good idea!

[tim 3] 23/12/2020 14:50

The order goes straight to the local store who pick it then they contact local curriers who deliver it by bike or car.

[muffinhead] 23/12/2020 14:09

Get 20 items in 60 minutes

This is new to me

Is this delivery by third party like Deliveroo?

[rolo7] 23/12/2020 12:14

Problem is over 10 don't really want toys all tablets and technology PS4 etc

[grahamite2] 23/12/2020 12:03

Today I downloaded the new Sainsbury's Chop Chop app, delivery within the hour for £4.95 I think.

[tim 3] 23/12/2020 12:00

Yes will be interesting to see the affect of online on overall profits as if as I and many others suspect its borderline profitable/loss making then they must be taking a hit somewhere,I think they try and hide the real cost in the figures.

[netcurtains] 23/12/2020 11:42

spod: I agree - but so what? its bumper profits and online "booming" will be the headline. I cant see this ending anyway apart from share price rising ..... At some point!

But obviously i have no idea which specific month but i'm confident it will be within months.

[spob] 23/12/2020 11:33

I predict profits this year lower than last year

actual profit, not adjusted profit


because around 40% of grocery sales are now online up from around 15-20% previously i think

and the concensus is that there is no profit in online grocery


so overall margins should theoretically be headed lower


anyone agree ?

[tim 3] 23/12/2020 10:42

Agree about Argos.Probably the one good thing Coupe did buying them.Their same day delivery/collection and low cost model already sits well in the new retail environment and it benefits from other stores being closed due to Covid.

[netcurtains] 23/12/2020 10:25

spod: I Dont disagree but I dont care - the rising tide raises all boats - All supermarkets in UK mobbed. I cant see any ending to this story that does not end up with Sainsburys making bumper profits this year.

Sainsburys has added advantage of ARGOS being about the only toy shop open in the UK (you pay online and pick up in the store)

[spob] 23/12/2020 10:21

Shouldn't Sainsbury's be putting the customers who make the business a profit, ahead of the ones who make the business a loss ?

Please discuss. Lol
