Amazon Stops Selling Lumia 950 XL In France and UK
Amazon United Kingdom has temporarily halted the sales of Lumia 950XL due to strong demand.
Just over a week after halting its selling operations in Germany on a temporary basis, the electronic commerce corporation, Amazon, has currently stopped delivering Lumia 950 XL in France and United Kingdom. While it has halted white variant’s sales in France, it is the black Lumia 950 that it has stopped delivering in Britain – the white variant has presently gone out of stock there.
Amazon United Kingdom said, "While this item is available from other Marketplace Sellers on this page, it's not currently offered by Amazon.co.uk because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are dispatching it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!) We are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you may still find this product available from other sellers on this page."
A similar message is attached to the listing of the product on Amazon France. It is worth mentioning that previous week, Carphone Warehouse also stopped selling the units of Lumia 950XL in the United Kingdom. While it was reported that the seller did this due to some unknown issues, Microsoft Corporation later said to refute the reports, saying the product has gone out of stock due to "strong demand” at some British retailers.
In other news, Gulf News suggests Macquarie Research recently estimated that out of every additional $1 disbursed by Americans to purchase goods over the internet, the ecommerce giant has been able to capture 51 cents.
At the same time, Macquarie’s retail analyst, Ben Schachter, has calculated that out of the estimated Dh345.15bn ($94bn) growth in all retail sales in 2014, both in online and stores, Amazon was able to take a staggering $22bn or almost one fourth.
The company was able to succeed this year by informing a record breaking holiday season, selling 200 million goods through Amazon Prime, which provides shipping free of charge and other benefits.
The strong results have played a role in meteorically increasing the price of the company’s stock, which has increased by more than 200% previous year. Its market capitalization of around $325bn has now been able to dwarf that of the retail giant, Walmart, which was cut down by 25% to just less than $200bn.
Despite the organization’s leading position, its actual profits are still quite tiny or at least they were in its report released in October.
