Whatever country you live in, if you’re shopping online, chances are you’ve come across Amazon. But Amazon isn’t quite the same for everyone around the world. It operates different versions in numerous countries - there’s Amazon UK, Amazon Australia, Amazon China and so on. But the biggest Amazon is the one based in its home country, the USA. That’s why Amazon Global exists: it’s a way to order stuff from the huge US version of Amazon, even if you live in another country. Amazon Global ships internationally to more than 100 countries.

As easy as that? Well, sort of. Take a look at our guide to find out how it works.

Sending money internationally? TransferWise could save you up to 8x versus your bank

Before you get started, a word.

Banks and money transfer providers often give you a bad exchange rate to make extra profits.

TransferWise is different. Its smart new technology skips hefty international transfer fees by connecting local bank accounts all around the world. Which means you can save up to 8x by using TransferWise rather than your bank when you send your money abroad.

Oh, and while you’re at it, check out TransferWise’s free borderless multi-currency account. Where you can manage and send dozens of currencies all from the same account.

Now, back to what you came here to read.

What is the Amazon Global store?

The Amazon Global store is a selection of items from the main US Amazon store. Which items? All of them that can be sent to other countries around the world. 1 Really, it’s a lot like a filtered version of the main Amazon website which simply excludes the items that can’t be shipped out of the US.2

What advantages does Amazon Global have over a retailer based in your home country? None at all. as long as you can get hold of what you want, at a decent price, where you live. Amazon Global is primarily for when the product you want isn’t available in your country. Or, occasionally, you might be able to get things cheaper through Amazon Global - but don’t forget to keep a careful eye on shipping costs. But more on those later.

How does Amazon Global work?

Really, it works in the same way as regular Amazon. From the Amazon Global homepage, you can browse all the available categories, or use the search bar at the top of the page to try and find what you’re after.1

All the while, you’ll only be seeing items that can be shipped internationally. But take care: if you’re signed in and Amazon probably knows where you live, you may not be browsing only those items that can be shipped to you. You’ll probably be looking at everything that can ship to any country other than the USA - so it might not be available to you after all. So, it’s smart to check the product page carefully, and see if it does in fact ship to where you are.

What about customs through Amazon Global?

Buying goods from abroad is never quite as simple as buying them in your own country. Often when things cross borders, there are extra costs - costs such as customs duties or taxes.

So when you use Amazon Global, not only will shipping costs probably be greater, you’ll likely also have to pay something called an Import Fees Deposit.3 That’s a deposit designed to cover the cost of import into your country.3 At the point of purchase, Amazon can only estimate what this will actually be, though - that’s why it’s a ‘deposit’. But they offer a decent enough deal: if the import ends up costing less than you pay in the deposit, you can get a refund, and if it costs more, Amazon picks up the extra cost.3

Sellers: How to sell on Amazon Global: Step by Step

If you sell on Amazon Marketplace, you might be interested in exploring Amazon Global. Here’s a quick guide to what to do.6

Decide which countries to target. This is up to you, of course, but do factor in legal concerns, as well as regional differences - for example, differences in electrical socket types around the world mean that your product might not work in certain countries. And the big question, of course, is whether there’s a potential market for your product in that country. Work out how to send stuff there. You’ll have to be able to actually get your product to the destination country, so figure out how to ship things there, and find out what difficulties that might entail. You might want to handle shipping yourself or use a carrier. Take care publishing the details. You need to make sure your product displays with the correct shipping costs and delivery times. The ‘shipping from’ information needs to be there too, so your potential customers know where you are. And don’t forget to factor in customs duties and taxes - these will be your responsibility too, and of course, they vary substantially from country to country.

Buyers: How to use and order from Amazon Global: Step by Step

If you’re interested in using Amazon Global to buy, here’s an overview of the process.

Head to the website. Rather than the usual address, try amazon. com/global. Sign in, if you’re not signed in automatically. You should be able to use login details from any Amazon site you’ve used previously (except Amazon China or Japan - if you’ve only used them, you’ll need to set up a new account). Make sure Amazon knows your location. Search for what you want, checking each time that the items you’re looking at are actually eligible for shipping to your country. Put anything you want to buy in your shopping cart, and when you’re ready, review your cart and check the cost. Select delivery options - with care. This can have a big impact, not just on shipping costs, but also on the import deposit. Choose your payment method - again, with care. Pay in US dollars if you can, because otherwise Amazon might convert your money itself, and the exchange rate it uses might not compare so well to the mid-market rate. 7 Make sure you know what your bank is going to charge you for an international transaction: always try and minimize the extra fees you have to pay your bank.

How long does Amazon Global shipping take?

Say you’re using Amazon Global to order a piece of string. How long is that piece of string? The answer to this question is basically the same.

That is to say, international shipping times vary a lot, firstly depending on how far the goods are travelling - don’t expect an item shipping from the US to Canada to take the same amount of time as something from the US to New Zealand. Secondly, the time depends on the delivery option you choose. With ‘priority shipping’, some items can get from the US to Germany, say, in just a couple of days. But with standard shipping, the same order could take weeks. So, inevitably, it depends in part on how much you’re willing to pay⁵.

Amazon Global priority shipping

Priority shipping or ‘priority courier shipping’ is the fastest way to get items sent to you, but be aware that it comes with a price tag.8 That price tag is dependent on where something is being sent, as well as what sort of item it is - books often have a different shipping cost from electronics, for instance.8 Sometimes the costs are calculated according to weight, too, and heavy items may face a surcharge.8 Priority shipping can often set you back substantially more than standard shipping, so take care.

As noted above, watch out for changing import fees, too. This is a separate cost from the shipping fee itself, but it does vary according to the shipping method you select. So if you choose priority shipping, you might face one extra cost more than you’d expected.

Good luck using Amazon Global - it can be a great resource if you’re looking for hard-to-find items or unexpected bargains. Keep an eye on the cost, though, and don’t let your international transaction cost you more than it has to.

How to Find Amazon Merchants that Ship Items to Your Country and Internationally

Amazon is a global marketplace where sellers and buyers from around the world can sale and buy goods. The company being based on the U. S. can ship to buyers in the United States freely often providing with free shipping through the Super Saver Shipping and Amazon Prime programs. Amazon have marketplaces in a couple of other countries as well – Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and United Kingdom, at the time of this writing. Buyers from these countries can buy from their respective Amazon marketplaces and avail offers such as free shipping.

International Shipping

When items need to be shipped outside the territory where Amazon operates, various restrictions dictated by international laws come into play, due to which Amazon cannot ship all products to all countries.

Books, DVDs, music and VHS videos can be shipped to almost all destination outside the U. S. without restrictions. Only some products such as clothing, consumer electronics, health and personal care, home and garden, industrial and scientific, jewelry, pet supplies, shoes, software, toys, video games, watches etc. can be shipped to some international destinations.

Amazon can ship only to the following countries:

Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Portugal, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom.

However, there are some merchants on Amazon, that can ship all products to all countries.

Locating Merchants at Amazon Marketplace

Products sold on Amazon fall under two categories – 1) products sold by Amazon. com, the company, and 2) products sold by Amazon merchants.

Amazon merchants are independent sellers that sell their products through Amazon, just like sellers on eBay. These merchants have their own shipping rates, methods, and terms, and some of them ships to all over the world, including countries that Amazon doesn’t officially ship to. It’s because of these merchants that Amazon is such a great place to buy, and often at bargain prices.

When you click on a product listed for sale on Amazon you arrive at the product page. Here is the product page for Nikon’s new release D5100.

This product is sold by Amazon. com (highlighted in the screenshot). Now, I know Amazon doesn’t ship cameras to India. So I click on “23 new” to find merchants that sell the same camera, and to see if anyone of them ships to my country.

Here is the partial list of merchants that currently stocks and sells the item. Now I can tell at a glance who ships the products internationally and who does not.

How? From the link “International & domestic shipping rates”. Merchants which ships only within the U. S. will have “Domestic shipping rates” shown. To find whether a merchant will ship to your country, click on the International & domestic shipping rates link, scroll to the bottom of the page and locate your country in the list. You can also find out how much it will cost you in terms of shipping from this page.

Another way to determine this is to add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout. Then enter the destination address. If the item cannot be shipped to the address you entered you will receive a message such as "We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination". If no such message is displayed, the item can be shipped to your country.

Automate it Using Browser Extension

An easier way would be to use a Firefox and Chrome extension called Does Amazon Ship to.

Does Amazon Ship to. adds a button to the product page that lets you quickly find all merchants that ships that product to your country. On the product page, click on the button titled “Check if this item could be shipped to your country” and choose your country from the list.

This opens a list that displays all merchants that stocks the product, their price and an icon indicating whether the merchant ships the product to the country you have chosen. A green icon means the product can be shipped to your country and a red icon means no. This saves you from manually opening each merchant’s shipping rates page.

Also, after you select your country the selection is saved so you don’t have to chose your country every time you use the button. Does Amazon Ship to. is an excellent add-on for those international buyers who frequently shop at Amazon.

One caveat: Does Amazon Ship to. requires Adobe Flash plug-in to work.

Locating Products Sold by Amazon. com That Ship Internationally

While buying goods from merchants is entirely safe as buying directly from Amazon. com, if for some reason you want to buy only stuff sold by Amazon. com, then you can use Amazon Global.

Amazon Global takes the guesswork and heavy lifting out of international shipping.

By shopping through Amazon Global, you'll be able to take advantage of duty and tax estimation during checkout, as well as customs clearance by the courier on your behalf. Whether you're sending gifts overseas or shipping to your own international address, Amazon Global will help get your items delivered without surprise duty charges or hassles.

Only products sold by Amazon. com falls under Amazon Global. Products sold by merchants doesn’t come under it.

Pro Tip: Interested in saving a few bucks? Search for ‘Amazon coupons’ on Google/Bing to locate active coupons that will knock off a few dollars from your order. Also search for ‘Amazon deals’ to know about discounts and special offers.
