I’m so happy that here in the Netherlands, they still are a small player that has to compete with the other stores.

bol.com and coolblue i'm presuming?

Yes, Bol.com was in 2022 still 4x as large as Amazon based on the Twinkle100. Also Zalando is still close to Amazon.

And I've just remembered belsimpel.nl / Gomibo Group as well. They are one-stop webshop for smartphones, tablets and mobile accessories, and in Germany and the Netherlands you can also take out postpaid contracts (+ apply bundling discounts) straight from belsimpel/Gomibo. IIRC they are also one of the few official distributors of Oneplus devices in Europe.
