It's only a matter of time before companies like Amazon expand to Kenya, you can imagine how many local businesses will be wiped out.

No, the issue is greed! They buy them online on bulk at much cheaper prices that you can buy online and just add hefty profits since they know more Kenyans will still buy from them and not go online.

So what's the issue?

Are the local brokers incurring that much extra cost?

The stuff I bought also has a warranty. And costs included shipping and taxes. Was still way cheaper.

This online buying will become a real threat to Kenyan brokers. I can testify that stuff bought online is way cheaper including shipping than the same stuff bought locally. You even have more variety and a global review on the same.

Bought mine directly from Amazon. Was a third cheaper than buying locally. Working just fine so far.
