Yeah, saying Amazon does not have a .se (or .pt in my case) website is disingenuous. I can buy stuff from amazon.es easily, and have free shipping on orders over €20. It will automatically apply the Portuguese VAT as well, so I usually pay a bit more for stuff sold by Amazon than the initially marked price obv.

You're both right. The big difference so is wether there is a dedicated logistics network for a given market in place or not, kind of physical backbone if you like.
