The moment Australian retailers have dreaded is here.。
Amazon is expanding Down Under, opening warehouses that’ll enable cheap, fast local shipping, and letting small businesses sell goods through the site--a development an Amazon employee reportedly said would "destroy the retail environment in Australia."。
