They need to get hold of Amazon.se
To be honest, I'm not a big fan of big companies fighting for their domains but in this case I think the current owner should get some beating.
Even with only 8.5 million customers they would run a good business as the competition is just poor.
You might be right about getting free shipping as Posten is very expensive but I think a company like Amazon could make a deal with UPS, Fedex, DHL or whatever. They will for sure not pay 6 Euro for a DHL package in Germany
