As well as the Netherlands, delivery charges for orders over £25 have also been lifted to Italy, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Luxembourg and San Marino.
Last year, Amazon expanded its services. In addition to books, music, DVDs, and toys, European users of the site can also purchase electronics, baby gear, and clothing, among other things. So far, these orders have been accompanied by shipping costs.
European users using Visa or Mastercard not only benefit from free shipping, but also from Amazon Currency Converter. As the name suggests, it allows the current exchange rate to be applied to the invoice. At the start of this year, Amazon Germany started free shipping to the Netherlands and Belgium, with certain conditions.
