📦 Amazon detailed introduction

🌟 Platform Introduction

Amazon is one of the world's largest online retailers, founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994. Initially selling books, it has since expanded to include everything from electronics and appliances to fashion, beauty products, food, household goods, and even daily necessities.

For Hong Kong buyers, the most commonly used sites are Amazon US, Japan , etc., because they have a wide selection of products and many products can be shipped directly to Hong Kong or sent through forwarding companies.

I think Amazon’s biggest draw is the sheer volume of selection, with prices sometimes lower than in Hong Kong . Plus, you can find limited-edition items that aren’t available in Hong Kong on Amazon.

🛍️ Product categories

• Electronic products : mobile phones, computers, headphones, smart homes
• Books/e-books : paper books, Kindle e-books
• Fashion/Beauty : International brand clothing, skincare, and perfume
• Daily necessities : kitchenware, household items, toys
• Food/Health Products : Snacks, Nutritional Supplements, Vitamins

I personally use Amazon to buy electronic accessories and health products on a daily basis. The prices are usually lower than in physical stores in Hong Kong, and there is a wider selection.

🚚 Logistics and delivery

• Direct delivery to Hong Kong : Some products support Amazon Global Shipping and can be sent directly to Hong Kong.
• Forwarding service : If the product cannot be delivered directly, a third-party forwarding warehouse can be used.
• Prime members : US Prime members enjoy free shipping and video services, but please note that not all offers are applicable to shipping to Hong Kong.

Editor's tip: If you want to save on shipping costs, you can choose products from the "Amazon Global Store". Sometimes, there are free shipping offers for orders over a certain amount.

💳 Payment Methods

Credit cards (Visa/Master/AMEX) and PayPal (in some regions) are supported. Credit cards are generally the most convenient option for Hong Kong users.

🎁 Offer Features

• Prime Day : Amazon’s annual big sale with huge discounts.
• Black Friday / Cyber ​​Monday : A great time to buy at the end of November every year.
• Daily Deals : The website has a "Today's Deals" section.

I think the best time is Prime Day, especially for electronic products, which are so cheap that it makes you question your life.

📝 Editor's Summary

Amazon is a cross-border shopping powerhouse for Hong Kong residents, offering a vast selection and prices that sometimes surpass local prices. However, be mindful of shipping costs and delivery times , especially from the US to Hong Kong, which can take a while. We recommend looking for direct shipping options first, before considering shipping via shipping. This will be much more convenient.
