On its website, Amazon also draws attention to its own shipping services – supply through Amazon including collection, packing, shipping and customer service at the business – services that until now had not been talked of as being provided in Israel, although it remains unclear if and when Amazon will begin operating them.
After enrolling for the service, Israeli businesses are provided with a list of the most popular categories for sale including tools, wireless, PCs, electronics, baby products, outdoor equipment, sports equipment, kitchen accessories, footwear, household products, cosmetics and clothing.
Amazon stresses that its advantages are speed of supply, and savings in shipping including free shipping for local products.
In the new page it has opened on the international site, Amazon presents a campaign based on images shot in Israel, and interviews with two Israeli companies selling products overseas – Moty Fridman founder of Minus417 Dead Sea skin care products and Yaniv Shtalryd CEO of BabySense baby monitor.
