Guys....this not new. Anyone can select an address in Jamaica for delivery and they will use DHL.

This is happening in Trinidad as well

This is definitely NOT the way to go. It works out far too expensive

Maybe in a few years, Amazon will build a warehouse on some islands as it seeks to expand its territory in the region

I've gotten the option several times & I'm not in Kingston. But I've always declined it because I wasn't sure about the shipping cost. It will become a threat where I'm concerned because the local shipping companies are taking longer & longer to deliver & now that I've heard Amazon's local delivery time I'll have to seriously consider them now.

The option to ship to Jamaica for some items has been there for a long while now. It's nothing new

Amazon is not the problem, customs is the problem. Everything has to come through them and that is where the problem with shipping starts

This is not new,the option has always been there for all eligible items to be shipped to Jamaica, it just can be a bit more expensive so thats why everyone uses a courier instead.....cheaper and faster

Amazon offers this worldwide as long as you have your local address on your account they will ship to you once selected. This available Years now in all islands (I shipped to trinidad barbados and grenada)

Jamaicans, please continue to support other shipping/ Couriers companies in Jamaica only.

I'm in Hanover and it did the same for me, some items though.

Most likely this would be a collaboration between Amazon and DHL/FedEx. Delivery straight to your door? Big threat to our local couriers.

brilliant video you are god sent keep up the good work

I thought amazon been doing this? It's just that some sellers don't ship to Jamaica.

I'm in Trinidad and our problem isn't the courier service. It's customs. The service I use, CSF, they have updates to where your package is whether it is in Miami, in transit or otherwise. For most of the time, delivery was fast. Faster that some local deliveries here. lol. But at some point things began to stick in customs. I suppose the business is too big and it isn't like the government is going to increase overhead (and overtime) to cope with the demand. So long as my stuff doesn't get lost and I can see where it is I have no problem. And I don't see how shipping with DHL will make it faster since items going through them has to go through customs too. And this isn't really competing against Amazon. More like competing with DHL. We have to remember that not everyone in the world has courier services set up like we do. So international shipping via DHL has in fact existed for some time on Amazon. It is possible that DHL is trying to get more of the market share. We don't know if there are any agreements with Amazon to push their services. So there's that. btw - aren't there Jamaicans working at the local offices of DHL?

I've seen this option for a few years now. I've just never done it because it is more expensive than with the couriers, based on the kinds and prices of the items I buy.

I have done that before

This is not a big threat. Jamaicans are now shopping more on shein. I am now shopping on shein for clothing. The competition is good as local couriers will not get greedy. It is protecting us the consumers.

DHL and Amazon been doing that for a minute now still so I would say that a new think still Kalilah ...

Thanks for sharing this interesting video ❤❤🙏🙏🙏❤️

Amazon has been delivering items straight to Jamaica for sometime now. This is old news. The only difference is that they do not deliver all items but you will see a note on each item showing delivery to Jamaica and the item choices are many. If you see an item that cannot be shipped straight, then you can use a Courier.

They use Tara couriers, who uses DHL. Nothing to be scared about, they’ll eliminate themselves soon enough.

This is not new - Jamaicans just don't research and read. I've bought from companies that does international shipping. What really matters is if the vendor does international shipping. I've bought clothes online from Turkey and Sweden and it was delivered free of cost to my address in Spanish Town in a week after shipping. All I did was sign for the package.

Yes they are!!

jamaica mapping system is not yet updated to allow this kind of amazon shipping as yet

Downside.....Some specific items including some video games, movies, tech etc are only available for USA delivery and will show " not available for delivery to your address " if it's a non American address. It's good to have a South Florida address regardless with your local Jamaican courier.

I actually saw an Amazon van in Jamaica before.

If they can cut down the shipping time then this will be an issue for Jamaican couriers, most couriers will get your goods to you in a week and little. The amazon delivery is around 3 weeks and cost a bit less. I hope this will let these couriers stop over charging people as this is a serious issue right now.

I like that they do the calculation of customs and all that and add it to the total cost so you can compare. My concern is just how much the shipping would cost compared to using a shipping company.

You are super ❤

as much as we love innovations from big tech i think the government should regulate this ''grey space'' where instead of Amazon/Shein all those setting up distribution warehouses we give those to local companies who act as that seamless lastman, so if they wana brand it Amazon fine but it should be owned/run by Jamaicans like a franchise system, in favour of the owner.. i think there are competent enough private corporations out here that can do that

I offer wonder why Jamaica dont have post offices like USA - need to improve that infrastructure

The JA government can either regulate to protect JA courier or those courie will go out of business.

Amazon delivery system will only deliver certain items. Chocolates, and perishable items won't be shipped.

Then no long time sing ting dis... but cuh yah. Yooooiiii. As long as your home address is Jamaica. Unno no give me joke inna the day yah.

This is old news. I have been having Amazon deliveries to St Ann since 2021. Kalilah you are extremely out of touch.

Yes yes they are coming soon that’s what they do you will be block out as they do in other countries and the stores will also go out of business, and there will be no jobs😮

Jamaicans! Please don’t let this billionaire Jeff offer you all this cheaper delivery option. As soon as this service takes over all over the Courier companies n Jamaica, they will not accept not take over the business n Jamaica and cause Jamaican business owners to seek job possible suffer.

I think they are all walking dead... Because eBay and Walmart tend to follow Amazon... Also, they have prime Jet

The problem is that there is no house numbers. Every rood streets community must have door address .

This is not new, they ship also to other Caribbean islands and have been doing it for more than a decade.

Jamaican companies just like front of house treat customers as if we owe them something. Them need to shape up
