The long-awaited moment has arrived as Amazon officially launches its online marketplace store in South Africa at amazon.co.za.
Shoppers in South Africa can now access a wide array of products with pricing in rands and enjoy convenient same-day and next-day delivery.
From the marketplace, customers can shop for electronics and appliances to books, homeware, video games, and other products.
Customers will be able to receive status updates via WhatsApp, so they can track their order. Amazon.co.za offers returns within 30 days via convenient options, including home pickup and self-drop. Additionally, customer support is provided via phone, email, and live chat.
Amazon’s arrival in South Africa has been highly anticipated, and the platform’s launch promises to revolutionize the local retail landscape. Independent sellers in South Africa were invited to register their businesses on in October last year, paving the way for the marketplace’s anticipated debut in the country.
A significant portion of sales on Amazon’s global platform comes from independent sellers, the majority of whom are small and medium-sized businesses. These sellers offer a diverse selection of products, competitive prices, and unparalleled convenience for consumers.
The launch of Amazon’s online marketplace in South Africa signifies a new era of e-commerce in the country, providing both consumers and sellers with access to unparalleled convenience, choice, and opportunity.
