Amazon puts .ie website live
Amazon.ie has opened a dedicated site for Ireland. The opening had been announced last December with the appointment of Alison Dunn as country manager for Ireland.
Customers will enjoy one-day delivery on millions of products, and can browse products with clear, local pricing and without additional customs charges. Irish businesses including Barry’s Tea, Bewley’s, and Ella & Jo will soon be available through a page dedicated to Irish brands developed in association with Enterprise Ireland.
Starting today, customers can also join Prime on Amazon.ie for €6.99 per month, and enjoy the very best of shopping, savings and entertainment – including fast, free delivery, exclusive deals and shopping events like Prime Day, award-winning TV shows, movies and live sport including the UEFA Champions League on Prime Video, free games on Prime Gaming, and exclusive offers with partners including Odeon cinemas and Deliveroo. UK Prime members in Ireland can switch to the local service, and will automatically have their UK membership cancelled and refunded when they do so. All customers, including those who are switching from a UK membership, can try Amazon.ie Prime by signing up for a 30-day free trial.
“Our teams across the country are unbelievably proud and incredibly excited to launch Amazon.ie,” said Alison Dunn, Ireland country manager, Amazon. “The store brings a wide selection of great value products with fast delivery to customers in Ireland, a local Prime membership with incredible benefits and savings, and lots of opportunities for Irish businesses to reach more customers. We have been building towards this moment since the launch of our Fulfilment Centre in Dublin in 2022, and we can’t wait to write the next chapter of our story in Ireland.”
Minister for Enterprise, Tourism & Employment Peter Burke added: “I welcome today’s news of the official launch of Amazon.ie. A dedicated Irish store will enhance customer experiences in Ireland and provide a significant platform for Irish SMEs to expand their online presence and grow their business. Amazon.ie provides even more opportunities for Irish businesses to reach global markets and help create domestic jobs. Amazon is a significant contributor to the Irish economy and today’s announcement strongly underscores Amazon’s continued commitment to Ireland.”
