Amazon is probably the world’s most popular shopping portal, but did you know that there’s no Amazon Norway. That’s right! There’s Amazon France, Amazon Germany, and Amazon UK to name a few of the European stores, but no Amazon Norway. Given that, where should people living in Norway shop?
The best option is probably Amazon.de (Amazon Germany) or Amazon.co.uk (Amazon.co.uk. Amazon Germany is now the biggest Amazon store in Europe, having overtaken Amazon UK (Amazon.co.uk). Amazon Germany is available in English (although sometimes the translations aren’t perfect) which means you don’t need to know German to stop there. Amazon.co.uk is also worth looking at, and most people will have accounts with both to check which is cheaper. If you create an account with a Norwegian address, Amazon will show you which products can be shipped to Norway. In many cases, taxes are applied and collected at the checkout.
Books are tax-exempt in Norway, so this is something you can feel comfortable ordering from outside of the country. Amazon.co.uk, in particular, is great for English-language books and second-hand books.
What about Amazon.com?
The biggest challenge with shopping at Amazon.com is the additional costs for import taxes and also shipping. Another of the challenges of shopping at Amazon in Norway is finding products that are available for shipping to Norway. Many products on the website are only available for shipping within the United States. However, readers can use the website’s search filters to narrow down their search to products that are available for shipping to Norway. They can also use third-party shipping services to have products shipped to Norway that are not available for direct shipping from Amazon.
