Shipping giant Amazon began shipping packages again to Israel after a break in service in the shadow of the Corona epidemic • Problem: Shipments, via air courier, are very expensive
Amazon shipping giant resumed shipping to Israel after shipments were discontinued at the end of March due to the Corona crisis. However, since the passenger lines to and from Israel have not yet been renewed, it is only shipping by air courier companies, which cost very high, and in many cases - exceeds the price of the product. In addition, Amazon discontinued the benefit of free shipping to Israel over $ 49.
Benny Buchnik, founder of the Facebook group "Such I Want! I Need" "explained on his Facebook page that" currently the shipments are based on the expensive courier companies and express routes only, plus in principle it is a variety of products. No free shipping, right now. "
Buchanick adds: "Shipping cost is expensive. It's super fast, but expensive. Amazon is currently building and relying on big-air cargo flights. Packaging via passenger flights is not yet possible, and this is the platform that used to be used primarily for cheap or free shipments. Important - start to get back to normal. "
Buchnik told Israel Today: "Remember that cargo, at regular times, is usually sent on air lines based on passenger air lines, and then loaded as cargo because of frequency. This tube is almost non-existent at the moment and so they only started operations on lines at this time. These are significantly more expensive shipments, especially the cheap, easy and small things we were used to paying a little, about $ 7-8 per package before shipping, now jumping to $ 30-40.It pays off for large and expensive shipments, where the cost differentials of Shipping will not be so significant. In a $ 300-500 deal for a large and heavy product, the difference will be $ 10-20-30 which is less significant On the cheap products - it's currently uneconomical. "
Reut Lunberg, who owns Reut Standards Lee on Facebook, referred to a return to Amazon's activity and wrote:" Amazon has begun shipping to Israel. Don't be cost-shipped. We'll wait to see what happens next. For example, Lunberg pointed to a dinnerware kit that costs $ 54.23, but shipping to Israel in this case would cost $ 90.89 - nearly double the product price.
