Indeed and if you think any other way you would be naive.

It is naive to think you can have it at the same speed for the same price. Parcels will be held up at customs and more red tape and weak pound means higher price

I had to buy something from Hungary last week and received it the next day. If there is money to be made people will find a way.

Only if he sells large volumes into the EU - and by the sounds of it he doesn't. It's more of an inconvenience to Europeans who can buy some goods from the UK a bit cheaper thanks to the exchange rate. They have to wait longer than buying from a local seller, but that was always the case as there's a stretch of water in the way.
If I have to buy from Amazon, I'd generally choose a local seller anyway, for the same reason.

Isn't that an opportunity to create your own online marketplace?

EFN allows you to fulfil orders from any Amazon European marketplace, while you ship your goods to Amazon’s fulfilment centres in just one country such as the UK.
From the 1st of January 2020 goods in Amazon’s UK fulfilment centres will no longer be used to fulfil orders in Europe. Effectively your sales opportunity from selling on Amazon UK dropped from 446 million EU consumers to 66 million brits.

Idiots on twitter saying, now we should all buy British products and boycott Amazon, forgetting that thousands of small British companies use the Amazon platform to sell their products in the eu and now many of them will go hust as they won't be competitive anymore even wih the very weak pound.

There is similar happening with other businesses. In fact many of my British business friends have established themselves in Europe and have already cut-off dealing with the UK knowing full well it will be too much bother to deal with the UK after 31 December.

There are large numbers of brexiters who have been brainwashed and want nothing to do with the EU no matter what the consequences.

Bojo is making the UK to be dependant on the USA, there will be no way out of that reliance and no return to Europe. The UK will have lost what was left of its international influence and decisions will be dictated from the White House.

“On January 31, 2020, the UK left the EU and entered a transition period where existing arrangements are being kept in place until December 31, 2020. The UK is due to formally leave the EU’s Single Market and Customs Union from January 1, 2021.
While UK-EU negotiations are ongoing (including determining what tariffs, if any, will apply), from January 1, 2021 there will be a customs border between the UK and EU which will have an impact on businesses working across this border.

This will have the following impact for Amazon Selling Partners from January 1, 2021:

• FBA offers using EFN will not be fulfilled across the UK-EU border.
• Pan-European FBA inventory transfers will stop between the UK and EU (however, Pan-European FBA will continue to transfer inventory within the EU region, supporting your sales on Germany, France, Italy and Spain sites)
• To mitigate the impact of these changes, you should consider splitting your inventory and sending it to a fulfilment centre in the UK and the EU, so that you have sufficient stock either side of the new customs border
• This may require you to ship your products across the new UK-EU customs border and provide additional information as part of a customs declaration

Your Amazon business will continue to operate as usual until January 1, 2021. However, there are actions you can start taking now to prepare your business for the new customs borders. For information about how you can prepare for these changes, and for all of the latest information about Brexit, please see our BREXIT guidance help pages and the UK government website.


Thank you for selling on Amazon. We remain committed to supporting your business selling in the UK and in the EU as we make this transition, and we will continue to provide the latest information to support you and help your business thrive in the future.”
