Decision note

The route changes the risk.

Treat delivery speed as one weighted criterion, not permission to ignore condition, compatibility or recourse. This framework remains non-commercial until local terms and evidence are reviewed.

Before using the table

Is this a ranking of marketplaces?

No. It compares purchasing routes and responsibilities, not current retailer performance.

Can the same route differ by country?

Yes. Programmes, sellers, taxes, delivery and statutory rights can change the result.
