No, Amazon does not have a dedicated Amazon.fi website or physical presence in Finland in the same way it does in countries like the US, UK, Germany, or France. However, Finns can still purchase products from Amazon.
Here's a breakdown:
-
No Dedicated Amazon Finland Website: There isn't a specific Amazon website tailored for the Finnish market (Amazon.fi).
-
Buying from Amazon US (and other Amazon sites): As the provided reference indicates, customers in Finland can order from Amazon US and have their purchases delivered to Finland. This also applies to other Amazon websites like Amazon.de (Germany), Amazon.co.uk (United Kingdom), etc. Many Finns regularly use Amazon.de because it's often the most convenient European option.
-
Shipping and Customs: When ordering from a foreign Amazon website, you'll need to consider shipping costs, import duties, and taxes (VAT), which will be added to the order. Amazon often calculates these during the checkout process.
-
Language and Currency: You'll be using the language and currency of the Amazon website you're ordering from (e.g., English and USD from Amazon US, German and EUR from Amazon DE).
-
Delivery: While Amazon itself may handle some deliveries, often third-party carriers like DHL, FedEx, or local Finnish postal services will handle the final delivery within Finland.
In summary, while Amazon doesn't have a dedicated Finnish operation, Finns can still access a vast range of products through Amazon's international websites, with the understanding that they will be subject to international shipping and import costs.
