New French law that aims to address Amazon's strategy and help bookstores

  • The almighty Amazon distributes books without charging shipping fees, but bookstores can't do it if they want to get a decent profit to survive. In order to cope with this situation, the Government of France is going to require a minimum of shipping costs to be determined.

In fact, you can't send a book home without paying shipping fees, but what does Amazon do? Charges EUR 0.1 for skipping the rules. Small bookshops cannot do that, they have to charge between EUR 6 and 7 for shipping, so as not to make economic holes. We are increasingly selling and buying more online – 20% of the books sold in the French state in 2019 were sold online – and the pandemic and confinement have affected this new law.

Considering that small bookstores with large platforms are unprotected and that large ones make “unfair competition”, by 2022 they will set the minimum amount to be required for each shipment of books.
