What is Amazon
Amazon is an American online store of electronics, books, films, clothing, household appliances and chemicals, handmade goods and auto parts. Americans buy gifts and household goods on Amazon, watch movies and read e-books through it. Amazon even has its own online library, virtual assistant, and drone couriers who deliver packages directly to your front lawn.
The online store is structured like a shopping center: goods are sold by Amazon itself and other trading companies. Amazon, as the director of the center, checks all sellers and guarantees the return of goods.
Amazon usually resolves purchasing problems in favor of the buyer. The product did not fit, the quality was not satisfactory, or the delivery was late by a day - the buyer will be refunded. For this reason, users from different countries consider shopping on Amazon safe.
Amazon also produces electronics: Fire tablets and Kindle e-readers. The cheapest tablet costs $50, and the e-reader costs $80.
Amazon is not popular in Russia: not everyone knows about it, some are put off by the English interface, others have not figured out international delivery and are afraid to order. But it's a good way to save on electronics. For example, a Fire tablet with delivery will cost the same as a cheap Chinese tablet in Russia - 5000 RUR.
In brief: how to buy on Amazon and order delivery
- Read reviews.
- To buy direct-shipping products on Amazon, use filters.
- To order delivery through intermediaries, register with several.
- Compare prices for direct delivery and delivery through intermediaries.
- Check the notification for electronics to avoid problems during customs clearance.
- If the purchase is delivered by an intermediary, fill out a customs declaration.
- If you have any problems, write to support.
- Insure your parcels.
Okay there's Amazon
We still have a sea of fiery articles about saving, shopping abroad and consumer rights. Do not miss!
Why you should buy on Amazon
Safety. Amazon protects customers from fraud - many issues are resolved with refunds.
Huge selection. There are many types of goods on Amazon - in one package you will receive a tablet for a child, a set of tools and a woman's bag.
Real reviews. Buyers leave reviews about products - they make it easier to decide on a purchase.
Low price. Amazon keeps prices lower than other stores - no one knows why.
We sell something that is not available in Russia. There are things on Amazon that by definition cannot be found in Russia: for example, professional literature in English.
I first heard about Amazon in 2012. I was looking for an e-book and read about the Kindle. The reviews were good, the price was pleasing - 2800 RUR. But Amazon did not send Kindles to Russia, and it was scary to send them through an intermediary and risk money.
For testing, I ordered a simple wallet for $10 and sent it through an intermediary. The wallet arrived by mail without any problems. A month later, I took a chance and ordered three Kindle e-books - for myself and friends. They all got there, I’m still reading mine.
It's not scary to buy on Amazon, but it's important to understand the delivery. Russians have two options here: rely on direct delivery or send the purchase through an intermediary.
How to deliver to Russia
Direct delivery
Amazon ships some products to Russia. To determine which ones, when searching, select “Ship to Russian Federation” in the filter.
I specifically chose sneakers as an example to show one feature: some sizes may not be available for shipping to Russia. Look at the screenshot on the right - the shipping cost is indicated next to the price.
Sneakers size 8.5 D(M) cannot be shipped to Russia
The same sneakers in size 14 D(M) - you can, the delivery cost is indicated next to the price
There are two types of direct delivery to choose from: regular and expedited. Shipping costs depend on the item and weight.
Minimum delivery cost:
£10.99 (872.78 R ) from UK
18,00 € (1226,16 R ) from Germany
21,99 $ (1417,59 R ) from USA
Amazon usually delivers parcels to Russia by courier service
UPS, but there is always a chance that the parcel will arrive with another courier service or Russian Post.
All UPS parcels are declared at customs. Amazon pays for the services of a customs broker, so the buyer will only be asked to send his passport information.
A message with the username and password for UPC Broker will be sent to the email and phone number specified in the delivery address. The website will ask you to fill out a form.
The form will require scans of passport pages and proof of purchase. You will have confirmation in your personal account on Amazon: go to the “Order Details” section and download the invoice. Download it to confirm.
Download the invoice in your personal account on Amazon
Fill out product information in Russian, brand and model names in English. Please check the price on your invoice and not on the product page - it may change. The weight can be written as approximate.
Problems may arise with electronics during customs clearance. The FSB ensures that encryption equipment is not imported into the country. All permitted goods are entered into a unified register of notifications.
If you're buying for personal use, you don't have to check notifications for computers, phones, smartwatches, and other electronics that aren't specifically designed for encryption. This must be determined according to the approved list, and not at your own discretion.
A product without notification may not be allowed through customs, and in the worst case, a criminal case will be opened. If everything is in order with the notification, there is a chance that they will call from UPC and ask you to come and clear customs yourself. If you refuse, the parcel will be sent back and Amazon will return the money.
If something goes wrong, immediately write to Amazon support. She is loyal to customers and is always ready to return money.
Advantages of direct delivery:
- There is no need to use intermediaries.
- Amazon itself is responsible for the parcel, deals with problems and compensates for the inconvenience.
Disadvantages of direct shipping:
- Amazon does not deliver all products.
- Many discounts are only available to US customers.
- Expensive delivery: minimum $22.
- Sometimes there are difficulties with the courier service.
How to deliver to Russia
Delivery through an intermediary
If the desired product is not shipped to Russia or is sold at a discount only for buyers from the USA, order delivery through an intermediary. Delivery through an intermediary may cost less than Amazon.
Intermediaries are companies that make money by sending goods from the United States to Russia. They maintain a warehouse in the USA to which you arrange Amazon delivery. Amazon brings your purchase to the intermediary's warehouse, the intermediary repackages the package and sends it to you.
To order through an intermediary, register on their website and receive an address. I recommend registering with different intermediaries and comparing prices each time.
Here is an example of calculating the delivery of Kindle (550 g) through various intermediaries. The price includes insurance up to $100. The weight of the parcel - “Shipping weight” - is indicated in the product description on Amazon; if not, look on the Internet.
How different intermediaries deliver Kindle to Russia
| Price | Term | Where will they deliver it? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| polar Express | 18,2 $ | 20 days | by mail |
| Shopfans | 21,8 $ | 10 days | to the point of issue |
| Pochtoy.com | 25,2 $ | 16 days | to the point of issue |
| Poster | 29,1 $ | 17 days | to the door |
How to buy through an intermediary
- Indicate in your personal profile on Amazon the delivery address that you received from the intermediary. Pay and receive a tracking number.
- The intermediary will notify you when the parcel arrives at the warehouse. Some resellers ask you to register a tracking number as soon as the package has been sent to them.
- When the parcel arrives at the intermediary's warehouse, fill out the customs declaration, select the appropriate delivery method, pay and wait for shipment.
Advantages of delivery through intermediaries
- Intermediaries deliver any goods from Amazon.
- For purchases through an intermediary, all US discounts apply.
- Shipping costs may be lower than direct shipping.
Disadvantages of delivery through intermediaries
- After the purchase, you will have to tinker with the intermediary’s website: fill out a declaration, select insurance and delivery method, and pay.
- Intermediaries have different insurance conditions; you need to carefully choose the right one.
- Expensive delivery for parcels up to 1 kg. It is more profitable to collect parcels of several kilograms.
- The middlemen are not Amazon. If something goes wrong, it will take a long time to figure it out.
Which delivery is cheaper?
Delivery price for Pebble Round watches to Russia
If you don’t chase discounts for the USA and order one product at a time, then the shipping price is the same. When you choose, compare the price of the product and the reliability of the sender.
If you order a watch from a British website, it will be cheaper: 11,700 RUR. I will tell you how to save money on Amazon in the next article.
Shopping online is becoming an increasingly popular pastime. This type of shopping is incredibly comfortable for buyers. After all, there is no longer a need to visit several different stores to find the item you need, or to spend a colossal amount of time and effort on this process. Now everything can be done in an incredibly short time, and all purchases will be delivered to the nearest post office.
One of the most popular shopping resources all over the world is the Amazon website, which contains thousands of great deals on various product categories. This service has earned a reputation as a reliable store that carefully cares about the commercial security and success of its clients' transactions. Therefore, many are interested in how to order from Amazon to Russia, and is this even possible in principle? Practice shows what is possible. Therefore, this article will discuss in detail how to register correctly on this site, how to select the product you are interested in, what nuances of delivery to the Russian Federation exist, and whether it is possible to track the sent parcel. This information will be incredibly useful to all future Amazon customers. And existing users confirm that this service is incredibly convenient for its customers. Let's look at the details.
Registration on Amazon
It is important to create an account on the site in order to be able to fully use its functionality. Without this, it is impossible to fully view information about products, communicate with sellers, or make purchases.
In addition to the American online store, there are about ten more branches in different countries. It makes sense to visit some of them. All you need to do is register
On the main page of the site in question. This will allow you to fully use any site.
How do you register on Amazon? To do this, you need to go to a special page to create an individual account. There you will find a form in which you need to enter personal data. All this must be done before making purchases on Amazon.
Depending on what browser you use, the appearance of the registration form may differ. All information must be entered in English (to read information on the Amazon website in Russian, you will have to use an online translator). You must enter your name, email address, mobile phone number in international format and a unique password. It's good if the last one is as difficult as possible. It is better not to use combinations that are already attached to your account on other sites. After this, click on the “Create account” button. An email will be sent to your email address with a link to confirm your registration. This must be done. Without confirmation, it will be impossible to carry out actions such as ordering from Amazon in Russia, viewing the full product profile and contacting sellers.
After this, you will be given access to all the features of the site in question.
The address to which the goods will be delivered and your bank card details can be entered immediately before purchasing on Amazon, or in advance, immediately after registration. This can be done in your “Personal Account”.
Important! The address should also be entered exclusively in English (Amazon does not function in Russian).
If you do not buy yourself, but through a forwarder company, then the delivery address must match the company’s warehouse address.
How to choose a product
It’s not at all difficult to figure out how to order from Amazon to Russia and how to find the required product on this site. To do this, you need to enter the name of the desired product in a specialized search bar or start browsing products in various categories. For example, many people view this site as an online store for plus size women's clothing. Amazon provides many offers in this and many other product groups. This is incredibly convenient for his clients.
Offers coming directly from Amazon are always listed first in search results. Next, the products of all other sellers posted on this site will be displayed in order of popularity.
The Free Shipping claim is valid only within the United States and does not apply to orders that must be shipped to the Russian Federation.
It is possible to immediately select one of the alternative product packaging options (available for most of the products offered).
Amazon always conducts all transactions safely. Funds are not released to the seller until the buyer confirms that the package has been delivered and that the item arrived in good condition and is working well. If the recipient has any complaints about the parcel or the quality of the goods, he has the legal right to get his money back. Refunds are made to the same card with which the order was paid. Therefore, do not torment yourself with doubts before ordering a product on Amazon.
In the product description you can also see all the necessary information about the conditions of its delivery. If it is impossible to send a product to your state, a notification about this will be reflected on its page.
When all the details have been clarified, you need to add the appropriate product to the cart.
Purchase of goods
How to shop on Amazon? When you have selected all the products you need, go to the cart. There, it is important to double-check the purchase price and their specified characteristics. Next, click on the “Proceed to Payment” button.
The next important step is to carefully check the correctness of the specified data (address to which the parcel must be delivered; bank card details; discount code if available; full purchase price; suitable type of delivery). The final action is to click the “Make an order” button.
After this, you should check your email (you should receive an email confirming your order).
Money in the amount of the purchase price will be withdrawn from your card within the next hour, and the order will be sent, as a rule, two to three days later. You will also be notified of this by email.
Delivery Features
How to order from Amazon to Russia? If the product you have chosen is part of a group that is subject to a special type of postal item - Amazon Global international delivery, then you have the opportunity to place an order yourself.
For the Russian Federation, delivery under the above program is available for the following groups of goods:
- Items of clothing.
- Shoes.
- Jewelry.
- Sporting goods.
- Household products.
- Products for pets.
- Software
- Health products.
- Watch.
- Electronic devices.
- Tools.
- Video game discs.
- Kids toys.
However, even among the goods of the above categories, there are those that do not fall under the scope of the program in question. See which products can be ordered with free delivery by filtering the appropriate products (by checking the phrase “Amazon Global” in the search form, which is located on the left of the page).
Otherwise, delivery is carried out using an Amazon partner courier service. It usually takes from five to ten days. Its cost will depend directly on the weight of the parcel and its total cost.
Delivery via forwarding company
Many companies today provide assistance in ordering goods correctly on the site in question. Such services are called mail forwarding. The essence of this type of service is that the company provides the buyer with the address of their warehouse in the United States, which the consumer, in turn, indicates as his own delivery address on the Amazon website.
The order is placed by the buyer himself, and the payment is made by him himself. When a parcel with an order arrives at the warehouse of an intermediary company, its employees check the attachment for compliance with the stated description and send it to its destination.
How much does it cost to provide such services? It all depends on the company's policy. Sometimes it is the cost of delivery, a set subscription fee or payment for goods storage services. Sometimes you also have to pay for registration on the website of such a company.
Delivery through an intermediary company
Also from the Amazon website, delivery to Russia is carried out as follows. The intermediary company independently buys for you the product that you previously selected, pays for it at its own expense and controls the delivery process to its destination. How to use the services of this kind of assistants? You just need to select the product on the site in question, pay both the cost of the purchase itself and the services of the intermediary company in a way that is convenient for you. Then all that remains is to wait for the ordered delivery. As a rule, such a service costs about five to ten percent of the total purchase price.
How to track your order
After the seller has sent the package you ordered, a letter will be sent to your email address with a notification about this, a message about the approximate delivery time, the specified address to which delivery will be carried out, and a specialized “Track your order” button. Otherwise, a special link with identical text may be sent. This email also contains information about which service the order was sent by and what tracking number is assigned to your package.
The tracking number can also be found by following the link contained in this notification. It will take you to your personal profile on the site - to the order tracking page. All the necessary information will be presented there: the status of the shipment, the delivery address, the carrier through which the package is delivered from Amazon, as well as the tracking number.
Do not confuse your order number and track number!
If the package is sent directly by Amazon, then the reviewed letter will be sent to your email address. And if the sender is an individual, perhaps there will be no letter, and the seller will simply indicate the track number in the order. If you still cannot find it, it is important to try to contact the seller directly and remind him or demand (depending on the situation) a tracking number.
As soon as you receive it, go to the carrier company’s website and enter the received numbers in the field provided for this purpose. This way you can find out where the products you ordered are currently located. When a package with an order crosses the border of the destination country, new opportunities open up for tracking it, namely using the website of the postal service of that country. Usually at this moment the track number changes slightly. If notification of the parcel’s arrival does not arrive for a long time, it is better to inquire about it at the post office.
Canceling an Amazon order
If you change your mind about purchasing from amazon com, you can cancel your order. But this can only be done if the parcel has not yet been sent by the seller. To do this, you need to go to your “Personal Account” and open the “Your Orders” tab. By opening the desired order and clicking the “Cancel Products” button, you refuse to purchase the ordered products on Amazon. There is also the option to cancel only individual items in an order by checking only those items. After these manipulations, a letter will be sent to your email address confirming the cancellation of this order.
The advantage of the German Amazon
Some people prefer to visit the German Amazon rather than the American one. An online store in Germany has certain advantages for European buyers. For example, all household appliances that are presented on this version of the site can be used on a two hundred and twenty volt network. At the same time, American electronics are designed for one hundred and ten volts. Thus, equipment purchased in Germany does not require additional adapters or transformers and is equipped with European model plugs.
When goods sold by Amazon are purchased by residents of countries outside the European Union, a tax equal to nineteen percent of the order amount is deducted from the total cost of the package.
Often prices for the same product differ on different versions of the site. Or, for example, the amount remains the same, while only the currencies differ. It is important to figure out which of the platforms offered by Amazon (online store) will make a purchase as profitable as possible.
How long does it take to send a package from Amazon?
As a rule, delivery to Russia from the Amazon website takes about two to three weeks. If any holidays are celebrated during this period and the workload on the service increases significantly, then the parcel may reach the addressee in four weeks. If you have not received your order within the specified period of time, you must urgently contact the seller. You should find out whether the parcel was sent and when exactly this happened, as well as clarify the tracking number that was assigned to it. If there are problems directly with the seller or the shipping process, open a dispute. Remember: amazon com always cares about its reputation and the well-being of its customers.
However, before opening a dispute on the specified site, check to see if the package is waiting for you at the post office where it was supposed to be delivered.
After receiving complete information about it, it seems that residents of the Russian Federation can cast aside all their doubts regarding this resource. The abundance of goods that are presented on the site in question will satisfy the taste and needs of any buyer, regardless of his range of interests.
Obviously, ordering a parcel to Russia is not so difficult, although some restrictions still exist in this regard. However, it will not be difficult to take such nuances into account when making a purchase. Moreover, the article describes two alternative options for delivering goods to Russia. Using them, you can get any product you like.
It is important that the services provided to you are of the highest quality. This is exactly what the administration of the Amazon website is concerned about. Employees are always ready to help clients in stressful or conflict situations. Therefore, the safety of the services provided by the resource is guaranteed at every stage of choosing and purchasing a product.
Use the best trading resources, don't waste your time. Happy shopping!

The most popular retailer Amazon in the USA and direct delivery to Russia - myth or reality?
Of course, for those who regularly shop abroad, it makes no difference which store they shop at; it is not difficult for them to order on Amazon or eBay. They certainly know the most profitable way to make a purchase and send goods from America to Russia. But for those who are just starting the buyer’s journey in US stores, we will reveal all the intricacies of delivery from Amazon.
First of all, it is worth understanding that Amazon is a huge trading platform where many different sellers present their products. However, this retailer makes a lot of demands on sellers and conducts quite serious checks (including the originality of goods), so in most cases there is no doubt that the product corresponds to what was declared.
At the same time, a large number of sellers, not only from the USA, but also from other parts of the world, entails complete confusion for inexperienced buyers in the question - is delivery to Russia possible from Amazon? After all, third-party sellers offer to ship goods anywhere, while Amazon itself does not carry out direct shipments to other countries.
Even if the seller from whom you decide to make a purchase offers to send the goods to Russia, do not rush to rejoice, because behind this there are many pitfalls. Firstly, in this case, the right to choose a transport company always remains with the seller, and not only the delivery time, but also how much shipping costs depends on this. And we dare to assure you that such a service will definitely not be cheap. By the way, please note that each item will be sent in a separate package, unless you buy everything from one seller.
Another inconvenience is that on Amazon you cannot search for goods only from sellers who ship to other countries. The system does not provide the ability to filter by this criterion, so it will take a long time to search for the desired product with such conditions.
For this reason, most Russian buyers prefer to choose the required product according to its characteristics, and for delivery, contact companies that are intermediaries in purchases on Amazon with delivery to Russia, one of which is the service website. Not only do we help you ship your purchases faster and cheaper, but we also offer additional services: your Amazon order can be photographed to verify compliance, additionally packaged and insured when shipped to you.
Our company provides each client with an address in America to which delivery from the store is made. Your parcel arrives at our warehouse, where it is weighed and registered. If necessary, you order a photo of the contents, consolidate it with your other purchases and send it for assembly by the transport company you choose. The cost of delivery depends on the weight of the parcel and the tariffs of the logistics service. Due to the fact that purchases are combined into one package, the cost of shipping can be up to 80% lower than sending them separately.
Delivery times depend on the shipping service you choose and can range from 7 days to several weeks.
