Pro tip: don't bother with Amazon France, order from the UK.

For some reason, all the non-consumables that I ordered in France were re-furbished items sold as new. In contrast, the UK has always been stellar. Once Brexit hits, I will stop using Amazon altogether.

Anecdotal but my current experience is the opposite.

Just some weeks ago, I bought a dumb phone (new and sold by Amazon FR) on the Amazon FR website and it was sent by a fulfillment center in UK. The phone I received was opened, missing earbuds and was the Middle East version with the wrong keypad.

Does it matter at all? Won't the item be shipped from closest amazon warehouse regardless of site used?

Due to Brexit this is changing:
