DOES AMAZON SHIP TO GERMANY FREE?

Amazon is one of the leading online shopping platforms, and you probably could have shopped from it before. It has a separate website for Germany and 14 other countries, including the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, and Spain. Amazon.de or Amazon Germany is one of Europe's popular online stores because it serves as a shopping stage for the other German-speaking countries like Switzerland and Austria. The whole shipping process depends on the item and the place you are located regardless of the international shipping.

 

When you are shopping Amazon.de, and the product you added to the wishlist is actually from outside Germany, would you still go for it? There are some difficulties like certain products being ineligible or unavailable for Germany, taxes and customs regulations, and additional shipping charges. And that says Amazon does not ship for free, yet, there are exceptions if you purchase over 29 euros. Amazon does not charge for delivering items like DVDs, Videotapes, Music, VHS, Games, software, or books of their own country.

 

The standard shipment cost is allocated to each product based on the number of items, product type, and product weight before checkout. Both the Per Shipment cost and the Per Item cost added makes the total shipping charge. The expedited and the priority shipping charges are little more than the standard shipping charges. Sometimes, there is a surcharge for shipping heavy or bulky products corresponding to the shipping method. For the International store product, Amazon calculates the shipment charge for books using the dimensional weight formula.

Before confirming the product purchase, the Value Added Tax of Germany is included in the product shipping charge. When you order from within the European countries, the extra customs charge is cut down. If you are a U.S. Armed Forces or NATO member, submit a form containing the relevant information to get an exemption from all the taxes.

 

If you are wondering how to order from the international Amazon page and ship to Germany, it is quite simple.

1. Visit the international Amazon webpage from a browser.

2. If you already have an account, change the address to your Germany address.

3. Otherwise, create an account and set your Germany address as the location.

4. Once you set the address, the store displays the products that can be shipped to Germany.

5. Find your item, move it to the cart, and checkout.

 The delivery depends on the location and the desired shipping speed. You should know that it takes 9 to 12 business days for the standard shipping, while it takes 5 to 9 days for expedited shipping, and the priority shipment takes only 1 to 3 business days. The introduction of Prime delivery has improved the delivery style in European countries. Prime delivery is one-day delivery at a fair price, and it is available in other countries too.

 

When Amazon cannot ship certain products directly or if the shipping charge is expensive, try a shipping forwarder. Browse and find a reliable and worthy shipping forwarder in the country from where you want to ship. Contact them and get the details of the shipment forwarding process. Place an order and give your shipping forwarder address as the delivery location. You will have to wait until the forwarder receives the order and delivers it to your location.
